there are tons of reviews of FF on tpf. yes, they are reliable. they have stores in southern california, 2 or 3 of them, plus their online store. 4 of my bals have come from there and a whole lot of my chanel's too. they also have a great return policy and will also buy their stuff back from you if you don't like it after a few months.
Oh yay, congratulations on your new ME city!!! Im actually still on the fence btw the ME mini vs ME regular city! The mini is soooo cute,but im scared it might go out of style..the regular seems like a more pratical buy for me , but i dont know if i would put too much stuff in it and end up with a really heavy bag. If you dont mind, could you let me know if your city is heavy with all of your stuff and also is it easy for you to carry it with ur arm or easier on your shoulder? Im scared the bag might be a tad overwhelming for my height(5'3)...any thoughts? Thanks a bunch in advance!
Before I got this bag, I was planning to get this one first and then get a ME mini later, they are irresistibly cute, but after I got this one, I am attempting to get another regular size but In lighter colour.(I never buy bags in same style but different colour, but surprisingly this is going to happen on me ever first time).
Here are my photos, except the long wallet, those are my essential to curry in a bigger bag, I only use the pouch as a wallet, the long wallet just to give you an idea how they fit in this bag. This stuff only takes a little more than half of the space. It's not heavy at all, I feel comfortably curry it on the crock of my arm when I need my two hands, I would just switch to on my shoulder. My 13inch MacBook Pro does fit in just fine but then it would stiffen up the bag which it doesn't look that cute to me. Btw I am 155cm, about 5'1, imo it looks bigger on me but not oversize at all, after it breaks in a bit more, i am sure it will look "smaller" on me than what it looks right now.

Opps, forgot to add my photos. Here you go.
I'll be sixty this summer and I have bags with tassels. Buy what you love, if you decide you don't like tassels in the years to come, take them off, store them and put a charm on your zipper as a pull. Age is only a number after all
This made me smile. I'm 40 and has been a fan of LV since I was in my late teen until recently decide to explore other brands. Took me years to finally get a Bal because I was afraid the tassels may look odd on women my age (even though I love them). Heh.
Thank you for posting the pictures of you wearing the bag...its very very helpful for me!!! You have such a beautiful bag there....kinda convinced me to just get the regular one instead of mini now......decisions decisions...heheh...
Glad it made you smile...I've never worried much about trends or what other people think about my style. I've never even really thought about "my style" I've always done what felt right for me. Tassels on a handbag just don't seem that important, If you like them, fine, why care about what other people think?
The bag looks great on you! Iam 154-155cm and have a pre-owned rh city. I think mine looks a little bit smaller cause of different leather and broken in, so yours will probably look a little bit smaller when you have used it bit.
I never buy two bags in same style with different colors, but there is something about the city that makes me want at least one more haha. And I would want a ME
do you have some pros and cons of it?can anyone experienced with bal recommend my next color? i only wear my bags crossbody so color transfer is a huge concern all the time. i have dark blue, outremer, a brown, a black, and ultraviolet, but would love to have a brighter color. which color/color family do you guys think could be worn crossbody and not experience color transfer, from your experiences?

I just got mine couple of days ago and it's my first balenciaga bag so I don't really have any pros and cons in person, but I think there are some "characters" that might be someone's cons but some others' pros. Some people don't like the metallic edge, think they are too much on the bag but personally I think that's what made motorcycle bags famous, I don't mind that they stand out from the bag in a more obvious way, but they make the bag a lot heavier. About the goatskin, heavier than lambskin, can't get slouchy like your lambskin bag. Goatskin makes the bag more structured but softer than calfskin which is exactly what I want, and the wears of the corners wouldn't show as easy as lambskin. So based on these features, this bag is exactly what I expected on balenciaga city. Hope my 2 cents help.
I was able to snag a Black Work w/Giant 21 SHW a few weeks ago. I was talking to one of the SAs at Barneys New York and she said we have 3 downstairs. She brought up the best one and I bought it. I thought I would never find this bag, ever.
Now my RHW Work does not get as much love. I am thinking about giving it to my daughter or just keeping when I want to change it up a bit. I just bought a Chanel Jumbo Flap, Black Caviar, so all my other bags are resting, LOL.

Wow, Nice colour collection, I am not expert on bal colour transfer, but it would be nice to have something pinkish or beige-ish added to a collection.
