Hello Balenciaga experts, I need some help! I was wondering if anyone can explain the differences between these 3 black cities (apart from hardware) off mytheresa?

The third one says it is calf leather but after doing some reading on purse forum, I thought all cities are now made with agneau (apart from metallic edge). Do you think this is a listing mistake? Also why would the first one be so much cheaper? Also the 3 bags are listed as different colours - jet black, noir and nero. Is there any difference in saturation or are they all from different seasons? Trying to decide which one to purchase!

Thanks for any advice you can give :)

These are indeed all agneau, definitely a listing mistake.
As for colour, they are all black. Saturation would not be noted in the name. While there can be differences in saturation from season to season, bag to bag, this is not something that would be reflected in the colour name. All are named black/nero/noir.

As for the first one being cheaper, that is strange. Especially since black is there for all seasons so shouldn't be on sale. If you're looking for a black RH City, then definitely get the first one ;)

Thank you so much for your help! I've just purchased the first one and it should arrive in a couple of days :)

has anyone any info on the 'metal plate' ? It looks like Hamilton leather maybe?
I'd quite like to see it before I commit to an LV instead :p

Hmmm, too smooth to be Hamilton. I believe it is calfskin or so it says on ******.
And what LV are you considering, dear mere girl?

yes it does look very smooth..
considering a Montaigne MM in noir (the empriente leather) ...I was worried that it would be too big but I've just made a mock up out of a sturdy cardboard carrier bag and I think it will be ok! :graucho:
