What does "motocross" mean? I'm hunting for a giant city bag and found a listing for one called a "motocross giant 12 city bag". It looks just like the bag I want but I've never seen that word thrown in there. What does it refer to? It also says the bag is made of Arena leather and I don't know what that means either. Thank you!

The original bags were called "motorcycle' or "moto" bags, see the links below for some interesting info, courtesy of RDC...

Somebody help! I already have a black hip with g12 silver hardware. Now I am thinking of adding a navy blue, a pink or a grey (all with g12 gold) OR a ME black with gold... which gets your vote?

Without knowing your wardrobe colours it's hard to say. Are you looking for another staple colour? Or a pop of colour?
 
thinking of buying that logoed long strap for my calfskin city - someone talk me out of it :doh:

Are these logo long straps in lambskin, you'll just need to think about whether that will match with the Vibrato Pebbled Calfskin (that's the bag you have I think) & also do they make these long straps with the silver hardware (as the hardware needs to match too) :)
 
Hello to all! I’m hoping someone can help out... I’ve purchased a 2018 Black small Metallic city bag with silver hardware from Departemente Feminin’s website and received the bag with only the care card, leather sample, controllato card and a blank balenciaga card. I emailed them asking about the other authenticity card that shows the year of manufacture and serial number and they responded that Balenciaga has “changed their way of processing” and no longer makes the particular card. Is anyone able to confirm this for me? Not a huge deal but if it is meant to come with the card I would prefer to have it!
Thanks!!IMG_8306.JPG IMG_8307.JPG IMG_8308.JPG IMG_8315.jpg IMG_8320.JPG
 
I'm sorry, Kimy. I haven't purchased any newer Balenciagas and am not familiar with that online store, so I can't help.
