I've done the unthinkable. I bought a RH Black Work and had authorized Balcneciaga repair shop add a strap. I get it on Thursday so excited. I'll post Full Time pics as soon as a get. Had to buy a mini city to use hardware for it to be authentic for strap. I went overboard on this, may have to sell to recoup.

Hello
I am new here and I have a question I hope someone can answer for me. I've had a good look around the forum and I can't find the answer to it. I don't even know if this is the correct place to ask so I apologise in advance if not!
I am saving for my first Balenciaga bag and it's going to take some time. Not a problem, I'm happy to wait but my only worry if if I can't get the one I want once I've saved enough up.
It's this one, nothing else even comes close, I am dreaming about this bag ffs!
https://www.net-a-porter.com/gb/en/product/663491 in Gris Glace
I know this style is a classic so unlikely to be hard to get but it's the colour I'm worried about. What's the chances of it still being available in around 6 months?
Many thanks
Greetings and welcome to TPF and to the Balenciaga Lover's Family.
That's a fairly current bag so it should be available on other sites..
Have you considered looking for it on another site- one that offers AFFIRM?
This is a great financing place- Online approval within 2-3 minutes, you pay a small down payment, and then select to pay off the balance in 3, 6 or 12 payments..
You get the bag immediately, no waiting so it isn't like lay-away.
I've used Affirm now for 3 high cost purchases and I LOVE IT!!
Perhaps look into it-
If you prefer to wait, I'm sure you'll be able to find that same color & style again.
Even if it isn't on that site- it will pop up on another site..With current season bags, they seem to come back around often. You might end up a waiting a couple weeks but it will surface again.
Good Luck and :welcome2:

Sorry to jump in but you like Affirm PikaboICU? What's their interest charge?
I love them!!
The loan is sort of expensive but I never carry it out to term..
I usually select the 6 month option but then pay it off in 3..
The approval is instant- More & more places are accepting it..
I like PP credit too- they have the No Interest if you pay it off in 6 months so that's another way to go.
Here's the last one I did through Affirm:
Purchase Total$1,092.50
Down Payment$227.29
Financed Amount$865.21
Total Interest (30% APR)+$77.55
Total of Payments$942.76
What's PP credit? I've seen that more and more places are using Affirm, but the interest IS high, about 10% more than my Visa card...but then, I could hide it better from my husband BAHAHAHA

Exactly..
And it doesn't tie up my other forms of credit.. It's only high if you carry the terms out- it's not bad if you pay off early..
I like the fact of choosing the number & size of payments myself.
Like 3 @ $100. 6 @ $50. or 12 @ $25. It's nice to have options..
Paypal Credit.. You can apply for it right on Paypal's site..

Ohhh didn't know that, thanks...but I'm :banned: I tell you! :banned::banned::banned: At least until the Visa is paid off...

Thank you!
I'm in the UK... Affirm is only in the US isn't it?
Good to hear that it's a fairly current bag, I googled loads yesterday but couldn't find anything to confirm exactly when it was first released. I also couldn't find that exact one on any other website, only Net a Porter. Balenciaga's own site have it in that colour with but gold HW and I really want the silver.
I'm sure PikaboICU can give you the details, but I know Tradesy offers it, so you could probably get the info off of their site.
Thank you!

It is... I'm sorry.. I didn't realize you were in the UK. Apologies.
If that's the correct color name, that bag is from F/W 2013 so not too long ago. Right about the age when people begin to sell & update.. That one on N.A.P is new right? It might be a little difficult to find another new one but not impossible.
There are other colors of grey that are also very close- when you're ready to purchase, you can ask for help to find this exact bag, in the thread for that. Or you can also ask for other ME grey colors that would be similar.
Options... There's always options..
But I also understand about being set on one specific bag. ETA: I wanted to offer you a few sites to keep an eye on that offer Layaway. So if your bag showed up there, you could have then set it aside & pay over time..I believe Fashionphile & Ann's Fabulous Finds both have free layaway.
Oh I'm sorry.. LOL That is so bad of me.. :devil:
They're 2 different companies with different terms etc... I'll give a link so you can read about them.

Oh no need to apologise, you've been super helpful
Yes, N.A.P is new, it's a posh department store, like the US version of Barneys, Saks etc
I could definitely compromise a little on the colour if I had to, as long as it was a grey ME city with silver HW... haha, that's not actually that much of a compromise is it?
