I had to dig in the archives for these photos. The Sky Blue City was the second Bal bag I bought. It is a lovely color, but a little to plain for my tastes. I tend to go more for the vibrant colors. I had no problems with fading, but then again I did not own it for too long. The wallet was pretty but really BIG in person. It actually floated from pf member to pf member looking for a permanent home. Please ignore the awful braided accessories! They were still in their development stage! Yikes!
