Oh goodness! I assumed all 2007 bals were chèvre. I didn't notice this one wasn't until just now. I'm definitely wanting a chèvre bal this time! I just emailed them to cancel the order. I'm hoping they see it before they ship!

I had no idea there were some agneau bags in 2007. The search continues--but I obviously need to be more diligent about checking that! ��

Wha?? Wait a second! I don't see paper tags with this bag, nor do I have any faith that Yoogi's knows that this is lambskin.

Check with them by all means, but I'm not aware of lambskin in 07 either. From my knowledge there was a mix of the two only in S/S 2008.

After calling to cancel the order (and explain that I wanted the chèvre) I've noticed they switched the description to chèvre. Is there a way to tell which leather it is if the bag doesn't have tags or cards with it?

I'm sure they made a mistake, and are correcting it.

The only way to tell with certainty, viewing photos is to know from which season a bag was released. To my knowledge all bags from 2007 were chèvre. :smile1:

Hi Ladies! I'm thinking of getting my first bal and hopefully the classic city. I was at the balenciaga store and examining it. Can you please let me know what one can do with the super short strap on the city ? I have a ps1 among other bags and I just can't understand the purpose of the city's short strap. Can I fill up the city to full capacity and still use the double handles without getting an arm ache? Thanks in advance :)

I never liked tote bags in the past, but have gotten used to carrying the Cities that way. They weigh next to nothing, so essentially the weight is what you've put into it. I use the short shoulder strap momentarily, when I need both hands. HTH!

I think Violet City from 2007 is lambskin too (correct me if I am wrong), but Violet Step is chevre so they have a different texture.

I would definitely be interested in knowing this! I'm trying to decide which pink/purple bag I'm wanting to hunt for. The violet city is definitely on the list. Of course I love the magenta 05 and 07. Also I'm really loving the 08 amethyst. Although I know that one is agneau, my Ruby has wonderful leather. Do you know if the amethyst had consistently yummy leather too?

Tried to do a handful of google image searches to see if I could find any 2007 Violet City tags that would disclose if lambskin or chevre. No luck.

I know for sure that the 2007 Violet Step that I temporarily have is Chevre. Also saw a 2007 Violet Shoulder that was chevre. No viable info on the City though =(


Edit: Just found an old ad on Bonanza for a 2007 Violet City - it was Agneau.
Edit Again: Saw an old listing on LoveBBags blog where she used to sell Balenciagas. Her Giant Silver Violet City is listed as Chevre - she had the cards but didn't have them photo'd.

I found one more. I started looking into it when a tPF member bought this bag.

I think at least the RH City is agneau.

I couldn't find any treat about someone buy from them and do not received the swatch. Do you think my bag is authentic? I feel unsatisfied and think to return it. Please help... thanks
