Personally I vote for Gris Tarmac as again it's a great go with anything colour - plus you don't have any grey in your current collection. But it's all down to which your heart most desires. Good luck choosing

Thank you mrob! That was my first instinct, but the pretty colors are oh so alluring. [emoji15]
Personally - being your first bag - I would go for black as its a classic colour, goes with everything and you won't have to worry about it showing marks/any other signs of wear. But it all depends on what you will get the most use/enjoyment from yourself. Good luck choosing
When I bought my city last month I noticed that one of the seams wasn't cleanly stitched (hope I'm describing that right), but the SA said it was normal. He showed me how the other black RH cities I was choosing from also had that same situation on the bottom of the bags. But now I'm seeing there are two of them. For the cost of the bag, I'm thinking this isn't how it's supposed to be. But maybe I'm mistaken?
Hi- I see a new black city with silver hardware on hgbagsonline.com. They usually have coupon codes on Facebook too that can be applied to the sale.

Thank you! I was thinking the same!
I hope this isn't a dumb question but what exactly is the "Hamilton"? From what I have seen on here in terms of pics referencing a Hamilton they just look like regular Bal styles... Anyone?
It refers to the leather. Hamilton leather is goatskin whereas regular Bal styles are made with lambskin. The Hamilton styles are more structured because of this.
Seems odd to me, but I was waiting on someone with more expertise in this area...is it just the end of a thread that is sticking out? and then is it a crease/fold or tuck in the leather, or is it a distressed area?
From what I can see from the photos it looks like the stitching might not be "clipped" maybe....at the end before a new stitching begins? I checked out a few of my bags and do see similar stitching. Please be aware though that this to me would be different than a stitch that is not attached, missing or simply cut. The "un-clipped" stitching imo is secure or at least they are on my bags and have not come loose. I know that Chanel Flap bags have a common stitching problem that is considered normal as well......located where the flap opens and closes....the stitching becomes loose. I know this is not the same thing but wanted to point out that sometimes workmanship is not always 100% perfect. Nothing wrong with that!
. It's who you are and you need to be 100% happy with your Balenciaga purchase! It sounds like you have access to b&m stores that carry Bal bags so maybe shopping day inspecting bags that are more to your liking? It could be a fun Bal day!
