Ladies, I visited Bal.com site and discovered that the City bags now look very different, they are made from calfskin and are triangularly shaped. No distressed leather, no slouching. Does anyone know if these bags are popular with buyers?
Very interesting and quite conflicting comments, as expected. I fell in love with distressed slouchy puffy silky leather, so to me the new version has lost the appeal, but others seem to love it. Thank you so much for the reference, interesting read!Here's a link to the PurseBlog article about the new Neo-Classic bag.

Yes, I can verify that this is quite possible to do, and fairly easily.You can remove it with a bit of patience or simply slide it down the part of the strap that’s behind you when you carry your bag.
Not sure how I feel about this style, it looks interesting in the smaller size but I'd be whacking those bottom corners into everything. The calfskin is a plus though.Here's a link to the PurseBlog article about the new Neo-Classic bag.

I’ll give it a whirl. It looks like the buckles are a bit wider than the slots in the distributer.Yes, I can verify that this is quite possible to do, and fairly easily.
Just use patience and work carefully and slowly and off she comes.![]()
Calfskin has a really nice hand feel, very smooth. It will slouch but not quite as much as lamb generally, and will take a little longer to do so. It's a little sturdier than lamb.Is calfskin soft and slouchi?
THANKS!OK, tutorial time!
Work the weight distributer thingie down to the buckles.
Carefully, work one side of the buckle into the slot of the thingie.
Go slow and use even pressure pulling the buckle into the slot.
When you get one side through the slot, then the other is done the same way.
Slow and carefully!
Ive done this a lot and it can be done.
It also helps if you use a bit of leather conditioner to lubricate the buckle through the slot.
Easy, peasy!
You're very welcome.THANKS!

Keep in mind the diamond quilting may stop it from slouching as much, just a guess.Agreed. I have the Bal calfskin in a quilted leather drawstring bag. I'd call very it smooshy, but not at all slouchy. It is new, so I trust MuchStuff that a bit of slouch will eventually come with time. It's a soft leather, and feels delightful, but doesn't sound like what you want for your City, Lakotan.
