I'll post pictures when I receive the bag. Unfortunately, you can't view pictures once you purchase a bag on Rebag. I do have these two though... Thanks in advance!!! Have a good night.

That would be F/W 2016. I can't speak to the hardware colour though.
Hi I hope this is the right place to post! I’m considering getting my first proper designer bag (I’ve only had longchamps up till now!) but I’m stuck on whether to get the Balenciaga Hourglass XS in black croc. I’m more worried that it’s been out a while and might have fallen out of fashion by next year.
Do you think it has longevity?

If you added it to your favorites before purchase, you could access it that way. I've run into this issue before with rebag. You'd think you'd be able to see the bag you just purchased!
Dea all,
I LITERALLY JUST ordered my first Balenciaga bag.
I wanted for ever one of the classics, but never bought one, because I had always another priority or wish...
Anyway, nowadays I don’t buy designer stuff as I used to, since I have a toddler and my funds are much more limited...
So, some days ago I saw this bag on yoox, for half the price that I see in other sites. After a lot of thinking, I decided to order it today... I know it’s not a classic, but I couldn’t reist the price. Let’s hope I will like it in person. If anyone has it, pictures and comments very much appreciated!

It's hard to comment about longevity, but similar models from other brands have been in style for decades, Hermes Kelly, for example. But imho Hourglass is more edgy, with some fresh twist on the old classic shape. I like the look of it, but what can you fit into XS? It's quite rigid and stiff, i'd go with an S
Thanks for getting back to me! I was just worried about getting a bag that’s going to be overdone and cliche in a year, not sure if I’m just being dramatic though! I’m also considering the givenchy mini edenIt's hard to comment about longevity, but similar models from other brands have been in style for decades, Hermes Kelly, for example.

What matters to me is whether I love it or not, I don't worry about whether a bag is going to be "in style" the following year. If you really love it go for it!
Thanks so much guys!! In terms of sizes, does anyone have any more opinions on small vs extra small - just worried the small might look too big as a crossover

A couple of lovely folks posted size comparisons in this thread.
it never hurts to have spare room for something you will pick up on the go, but it definitely gonna be a PITA to stuff the bag up to the brim at home and end up being unable to squeeze in something else, your gloves, or an envelope, or a pack or tissues, etc
i never consider bags that won't fit something else just in case.
we often forget that we actually have more stuff with us, yes, most time we hold our phones in the hand, and the car key in usually in the ignition. But what happens when you park and go for a meeting, or cinema, for example? you need to put them both somewhere, right?
It’s so true - makes it more of an easy day to day bag. I always have a million things so practicality wise that’s ideal!it never hurts to have spare room for something you will pick up on the go, but it definitely gonna be a PITA to stuff the bag up to the brim at home and end up being unable to squeeze in something else, your gloves, or an envelope, or a pack or tissues, etc
