I hope you got the RGGH Work. I clicked the link and saw that the listing ended. Depends on how you're going to use it for work, but I think the Work is a much prettier bag than the Velo in general, and the RGGH on black is beautiful :)

You're very welcome! But I am far from an expert :D I'm more of a hyper-detail obsessed analytical Bal nerd with strong opinions! LOL. I bow down to the true experts who have been walking these cyber hallways for a decade or more, and who have owned more bags in any given year than I'll see in a lifetime! ;)

The 2011 RGGH Work arrived this morning! It's wonderful, thanks again. I'm quite new, so I consider you an expert, and the others like Conni and Saira are legends. [emoji4] ImageUploadedByPurseForum1444158279.551955.jpg

Hi I am relatively new here. I purchased a class click arena (I think that is the name) on poshmark. Just wanted to know if it was authentic. Can I post a pic here? Or is there another thread for that?

Your cute little purse is called a click and the classic part of the name refers to the type of hardware. As Catcook mentioned, if you go to the shopping forum (look below the title "Balenciaga" to the subtitles underneath) there will be an "Authenticate this" thread where you can post your pics. Definitely a learning curve in where to post, the amount of info and expertise here is unbelievable!

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if Holiday Hamilton Bordeaux is referred to as Red? Or is there another real red color released for holiday Hamilton? I really need to know before I pull the trigger [emoji4]

Yes, there were two Holiday Seasons with Hamilton leather - one with a true red and the year before there was a bordeaux. The season with Bordeaux only came with the Giant hardware though, Gold and Silver.

The year with the brighter/true red was the year with the regular brushed champagne hardware.

Oohhh! Err I got overly excited n already requested for authentication. [emoji8] Thanks SO MUCH for such a helpful info.

I'm half hearted now because I definitely prefer brighter red anytime! But I'm afraid my expectation to find the rare bag is unrealistic. I really think to think hard....[emoji37]

I saw that you posted a Hamilton in the "Authenticate This" thread and it looks authentic to me but does not as stated have rose gold but in fact gold hardware.

I like bordeaux but I love a bright red and let me tell you, the red Hamilton is a stunning red. I know it can be frustrating when you can't find the bag you're looking for but trust me, one will show up.
Don't settle for anything else.

I'll keep an eye out for you :smile1:

Hi, can anyone answer this question for me: What are my options? I bought a Balenciaga City before knowing enough about them. Now, far too late to initiate a dispute, I found it to be fake. I know, live and learn... but can I sell it at all? Not claiming it to be authentic? Is it unethical to sell it at all? Any thoughts? knowing it isn't authentic makes me not want to carry it, so I'd like to get rid of it. TIA!

I cannot imagine being able to fit your school papers in a City, Work, Day, or Velo. I used to be a teacher and had to push a crate on wheels. That being said, the Day strap is comfortable. Buy what you like for a bag and use something far more utilitarian for carrying your school papers, like a rolling laptop bag or plastic crate on wheels or heavy duty canvas tote (ouch my shoulder and neck hurts just thinking about carrying something filled that heavy).

Hi ladies, I just got a preowned City and I am so in love with the softness of the leather. But the city tends to be on the small side for me (I'm a teacher so often have to bring home piles of papers to grade). I came across a pre-owned Day in burgundy and I'm contemplating if I should get that now, especially because I love hobo bags. But the thing that's holding me back (other than the price of course) is not being sure of the comfy-ness of the shoulder strap? I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the City shoulder strap is, even when the bag is weighed down by papers, but I'm worried that the Day wouldn't be as comfy to carry heavy since the strap is the rounded type that might not distribute weight as well. Can anyone who has both bags give me any advice? Much appreciated! :)

Did you find this to be heavy to carry because of the giant hardware? I've been traveling a lot lately and need a larger carry on, but my one experience with giant hardware was a day bag and I found it surprisingly heavy. Curious to know how you found your work bag to be? TIA :)
