Show Us Your SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER Purchases!

I've been away from the forum for a good while now and stopped Balenciaga collecting since 08.

But once i saw the Gris Aluminium i had to have it and here it is!

Not sure if i like the changes though, doesn't feel like a true Balenciaga for me. Changes in font on dustbag, engraving on plate, leather stamp, no slot in mirror, thicker and stiffer leather compared to the initial Agneaus etc..Don't think i'll be buying again in future. Especially if they are fixing what wasn't broken in the first place.

I have it here in comparison with my 06 Rouge Vif and Lilac. I though the studs on the new one were bigger. But perhaps it hasn't been broken in yet to show some wear in the studs that would make it look smaller?
