Hello! I'm pretty new to balenciaga. I just acquired a new to me 2015 metal edge velo. I love it except the leather is thin!
I had a 2012 metal edge (which I returned. Big regret) and I remember the leather being thick and stiff.
Do any of you know if this is to be expected. I guess a small part of me is questioning authenticity but everything else is stunning about the bag. IMG_1486916923.109510.jpgIMG_1486916937.446393.jpgIMG_1486916957.336482.jpg
 
Did you own the 2012 from brand new condition? I presume the one from 2015 is used, thus it's already broken in, and it could result in different feeling vs brand new / stiff leather
