I don't know how durable the metal edge is as hardware, what I know is that my studs from the old Giant bags which were huge do not fade, there is absolutely no discoloration even if you rub it clean, so if thee quality of the metal used on Balenciaga bags is the same as eight years ago, I have to guess it is great. I am sure owners of metal edge bags know better of course.

thank you! mine (me gold hardware) is still going strong after one year, but i dont know about the new color gunmetal hardware

your cat is so cute, btw
 
i don't have the gunmetal ME, but!
silver studs on my pre-loved 2005 work are still clean and shiny, no discolouration, or tarnishing
my iridescent ME from 2016 looks brand new
my G21 silver hw Street from 2009 looks absolutely fab
overall i'd guess this tells a lot about hw the brands uses, i would not worry about brass

p.s. not that i have only 3 bags
i just named a few with various hw options
i have total more than 20, most with reg/brass hw and all are just fine, older brass polished a little bit on the top of the studs, but that's normal for brass

lol, yes, i often admire your collections and reveals

interesting to know the iridescence still looks good, because i remember at that time people were afraid it would chip

thanks a lot for easing my mind, btw

same concerns were when G21 first came out, people were afraid it would tarnish soon, but... ;)
Pleasure!

I am at 19 now that I have sold some. I started 7 years ago saying I just need two of these bags. at some point I had about 25. It is the colors and the leather that amaze me. Can't get enough of them, but I certainly don't need all of them anymore.
 
Oh boy, talk about low Bal resale prices. Yoogi’s had a like-new curry perforated City for $195. Sold in minutes. I mean perforated is not everyone’s cup of tea but still, a like-new City at that price. Insane:(
