You know what kinda stinks about sporting a gorgeous bal bag, where I lived 1 in 100 maybe know what the heck it is. I'm near hamilton, nj and Louis Vuitton is king around here. I've seen 3 people in 3 years with another Bal and I made sure to compliment them for their taste.


I'm in NJ too! I am buying my first Bal and deciding whether to keep it. My husband hates it and says he thinks Bals look cheap. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1457208113.915406.jpg

It is a slouchier bag, which I love, but I think some men think of "expensive" bags as very structured and stiff. It would be interesting to see what he considers an "expensive-looking" bag. But ultimately it depends on what you like and what you find comfortable carrying.

Bingo! He thinks my YSL, Chanel, and Prada bags look expensive. He even likes my LVs. And yes the more structured and stiff the better!
 
Why does it look so stiff if chevre? I'm not a fan looks like a 90s Barbie assessory

It is "chevre grainee" so slightly different than previous chevre leather... I bought my first metal edge city and received it last week. It is stiff looking initially but softens up. I think its a matter of personal preference, imho the chevre grainee holds up a little better than other bals. People who say Bal leather is too thin should buy a metallic edge and they will not have that complaint. Of course those who like the super slouchy look may not like it as much.

HG Bags has one of those irredescent metallic edge citys. I bought the silver metal one.
 
why are the Bal metallic edge cities $1965 on the Bal website and $2125 at Neiman Marcus? Some sort of currency exchange thing?


I am curious too as I realized on the most of websites, ME are more expensive than the regular hw and giant hw ones, but on MATCHESFASHION, they are opposite. Unfortunately they have everything but just not the ME black with silver hw, sigh.
