If you purchased it in a Bal store, you should be able to get it fixed here provided you still have the receipt. But I've also learned over the years that it depends on the store, and who you speak to. Some may send it out for a repair even without a receipt if it's old enough (the one in NYC has been good with that), other stores won't. There's doesn't seem to be any real policy.
With that said, I haven't tried in the last couple of years so maybe something's changed?
Either way, try.
I think it's on the darker side, almost black maybe. My anthracite Bal even looks lighter than this one. Hope this helps
Hi!
Can someone comment on the wear and tear of Balenciaga metallic edge city bags? How do you like the shoulder straps? Does it get more comfortable over time as the bag starts to sag a bit? I really want to get one and find the bag and color selection SO beautiful, but every time I try the bag with the shoulder strap, I find it a tad uncomfortable and I really don't want to have to carry it on the crook of my arm or carrying it by the handles.
I tried the classic city with the shoulder and found it comfortable, but the metallic edge's goatskin leather is so irresistible.
Thank you!

i have one. Black (just posted it in 'wearing today' thread)
it was stiff in the beginning, and i am first owner from brand new stage
i am not wearing it A LOT
but i can see it softening already
room wise - it's a great bag
EW is not typically MY style, i am more NS (hobo) style person, but this one worked out well and i like it.
Sometimes i do wear it on my shoulder, i am 1.64 m and it fits just right.
But it's sitting at the hip/waist line and if you are used to a messenger type (lower hanging bags) than you should try it in person.
since mine is with me today, i can do a quick snap for you from any angle, if you need any.

Thank you @ksuromax ! Glad to know that the bag will soften. Saw your city with the iridescent studs in the 'wearing today' thread...it is beautiful!
Thank you
Re wear&tear, too early for me to say, but she feels like a sturdy one, as of now no any signs of wear
Have anyone ordered from Balenciaga website before? does it come with the box?
Even I bought at boutique, it does not come with box.

I am confused about the seasonal color bags that are sold on luxury goods website. I know those websites other than balenciaga official website sell black and other classic color, and the seasonal color only comes in one season than gone, that's why it made those particular color more special, but why do I still see some first hand brand new "old" color still be sold on Reebonz? Is it possible? Or I've totally misunderstood the season color stuff?
perhaps they are just listing it as new because it is in new condition and unworn. it doesn't mean it is a new color necessarily. many resale sites have old seasons they list as new
