My bal 2005 black city from RealDealCollection has arrived. Now I finally understand why bal fans r crazy about old leathers! Gosh the difference between this preloved n my 2014 bought from store r so obvious! I love my '05 already even though there r scuff on corners where colors had faded n also glazing issue. My question.....is it possible to reglaze?

Now that I've touch n feel good old leather, I am dying to find 04 egg plant First bag!

I purchased the other 2005 City from RDC just before you did...I contacted Lovin my Bags because the upper edges were cracked and the corners were a bit scuffed. They said no problem to fix and they have the bag at present. I won't have it until my layaway with RDC is paid off (they were very nice about sending the bag to LMB for repairs while it was still on layaway). I was quoted $125 for the upper edges and the corners, which I consider a pretty fair price! When I do get my bag I'll post before and after pics. And I'm also dying to find a 2004 eggplant!:roflmfao:

Hi has anyone here had any experience with getting Balenciaga to replace the handles on their bag. I don't live near a store so haven't been able to get a quote or anything as to how much this costs. TIA

Long answer: Interestingly enough, yes. I went into the boutique to inquire about this about 4-6 months ago and they said it can be done, but only for current season or black agneau bags, since they always make black. I was quoted $325 and told it could take a long time (8 weeks) for a call back because they had to order handles. Well, it's been at least 4 months and I never heard back from them! And now that all that time has passed I decided I really don't care that much, so I never followed up either. I'm sure if I had stayed on top of it, it would have been possible. My handles might be sitting at the boutique for all I know, now that I think of it.

Short answer: yes, per Bal boutique it can be done, but on black or current season only, and with a longish lead time. HTH!

I hope LMB does a good job, they seem to get some very nice comments on PF...also, RDC gave me several names of places for Bal repair...Art Bag, Leather Surgeons, Lovin' My Bags, and Rago Brothers. And don't worry about the competition, I'm banned until the New Year! :p

Hi thanks for the info! Mines a mRGGH black city so hopefully that's okay (assuming they'd just take the hardware of the current handles and put it on the new ones?) :smile1:

Does anyone know what model is this and if it is available to purchase from the Balenciaga store itself or online? I've been searching without much result and I love this particular design!!

Hi. It's from the Papier line. I think only the black is available right now http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Balenci...860064/p.prod?ecid=NMAP_shoulder bags_desktop

If your heart is set on the black/white combo, I've seen it available in the A4 and A6 styles

Thank you! I went on the website and the price is equivalent almost to a city or town or first :,( i saw this wallet from the Reebonz website but don't recall actually seeing it in the boutiques or Balenciaga site itself..is this an old obscure design?
