I was wondering if wear along the top edge would also happen if I use a longer strap (such as the Town strap) with my City? Thanks :smile:. (I am just feeling frustrated with not being able to make the City more functional — also frustrated that I can’t even get half of what I paid for them, 1/3 if I am lucky :sad:. Am in a purge/irritable mode, lol).
You know if you sold right now you wouldn't get what you want for it so why not wear it in a style that works for you and never mind the sealant? The bag's meant to be used after all and everything shows wear in time so enjoy it now!

Ok thanks MS :smile:. I will try to see if I can make them work with a long strap. It just feels like the longer I wait, the older the bags get and the lower the value, lol.

I do see your point, if thats how you feel then sell for what you can get. I've noticed that the only bags that seem to list for higher prices are the newer ones, but I'm not following them to see if they're actually selling at those prices...

This is so innovative !! :nuts::nuts:

Much, that's amazing!!! :woot:
We never have kids in our place, but our kids go to the neighbours block and trick-or-treat-ing there with a bunch of their friends, and this year we decided to take a small part in this, we decorated our car, i downloaded creepy sounds and put sweets inside the open car boot, it was fun, when kids were going deep inside the trunk to reach for the sweets, some got scared by the horrible sounds from the dark depth of the car :lol:

I don't think the long strap will help much unless you use it xbody as it will thus "stretch out" the bag end to end

I do believe the City will curve with short or long strap, but the length, if it puts the bag at or below your hip, would seem to create that wider curve that Peace is talking about. It's carrying it with that tight curve that most likely roughens up the sealant.
Maybe you could experiment.

I've been watching a few newer bags (ones that I would like but won't be paying top dollar for). A few are selling, but more are not selling, and yet the prices still don't come down....:rolleyes: City bags (especially sought after ones) that are in nice condition & at the right price always seem to sell relatively quickly :)

The prices of the first graffiti Cities are stupidly high...

I'm wondering if any Bal ladies can help. I think Balenciaga is what made me sign up to the forum over 10 years ago, and I recently got back into it mostly because of a bag I think is now discontinued--the Traveller backpack.

What is anyone's experience with the Balenciaga traveller backpack? I can't decide between the extra small and the small? Do you recommend a particular size--I just don't want the bag to look mini on my back. How do you feel about them generally--anything of note?

TIA!

Hi there! I used to have the traveller backpack in XS then "exchanged" it for S. I find the XS is too small, although it fits the min necessities (phone, keys, small wallet, lipstick..), but nothing more. The S size is much more practical and it is not bulky at all, it can fit a 0,5L water bottle for example or a thin cardigan, some other bits. This is of course concerning the women's traveller backpack, because the men's one is super huge for a lady :)
Also depending what height you are. I'm personally medium height.

Thank so much for your help!:flowers:
I'm also average height--I judging from what you're saying I think I should get the small. Now, where to find one? They are not easy to find--at least online. I would like black with gold because I have so many black with silver bags--open to either though!
