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.

Thank you, this is also what I would believe are some differences between a city rh and a city ME :)

Most noticable would be weight and the structure I guess. And I don't think that have to be something bag, just different :)

Are the mini pompons becoming dated? I haven't seen them around for a long time so I just wondered...!!!??? I don't think they are popular like they used to be but I love them!!!:smile1:

I sold my mini pompon and get a mini city for replaced her.
I just always feel not secure because there is no zipper. For sizing mini pompon much enough. I can fit ipad mini, long wallet, small wallet, tissue, small pouch 1-2. Zipper in front can fit iphone 5/s, don't know for iphone 6.

Most likely yes it is.
I hope anyone will clear it more.

Anyone know why my besace maxi chevre doesn't feel like my first chevre leather, fashiophile said chevre but more like lamb?

Did it come with the small white card that states that it is chèvre leather? It could be that they mistook the type of leather, or the cards got mixed up--also sometimes chèvre feels and looks like lambskin and vice versa, it is often practically impossible to tell them apart in some cases as each skin is unique. There are many posts about the difference and how one is mistaken for another, or cards get mixed up, or they just can't with certainty be told apart, etc. IMHO FP is very reputable--I daresay how much of my paychecks are regularly spent there--huge fan/fiend, but indeed it does sometimes happen that items are misidentified or mislabelled for a number of reasons--and I do not think it is ever intentional--it just happens. I hope you are not unhappy with your lovely bag, but FP is excellent with free returns, but you cannot remove the label or use the bag if you want a full refund. Of course having said all that, chèvre and agneau do I agree possess certain differing characteristics as you say...maybe someone else here will have something more helpful to add...

Thank you. My old first that I just sold had a soft mushy feel to leather I thought besace would have but doesn't. I already removed tags and using for work today. I will give me another bal to hunt for.

Enjoy the hunt! Bal it seems to me, also matches the leather to the bag style and size so it would make sense that the Besace leather would be a bit stiffer due to its larger size and style...not sure if its maybe not broken in fully yet. I have a chèvre first and a chèvre day and the leather is very different from each other, but IMO definitely chèvre, as it is different from the lamb in chèvre ways. :D cheers!
