Lilac Day on TRR is tempting me so much!! But I've read that this color fades significantly.

I've been watching a lot of Spring Break YT videos coming out of Florida and I have to say the bag I've noticed women carrying a lot is the Bal hourglass bag. I watch the videos to see what fashions people wear and was surprised it was so popular. In a one hour video I easily spotted 15+ being carried in really bright colors. Just a tidbit to share
I think a lot of gals are influenced by Hailey Bieber and her fashion choices. She does love her Hourglass...I've been watching a lot of Spring Break YT videos coming out of Florida and I have to say the bag I've noticed women carrying a lot is the Bal hourglass bag.

Wow!! Thanks for sharing this interesting information. My fave Balenciaga bags are always the colourful ones.I've been watching a lot of Spring Break YT videos coming out of Florida and I have to say the bag I've noticed women carrying a lot is the Bal hourglass bag.

Can someone help me?
I recently viewed one of the users wearing her Classic City SMALL in silver, and then I've found a Classic City in MEDIUM silver.. but I can't work out what the difference in sizing looks like when worn? Does anyone have any comparison pics..?
I am old school in the styles.. I can't differentiate between the Classic City sizes lol I am just used to the old styles... First, City, Work, weekender etc... thank you in advance

Here's a pretty good side by side comparison (credit to aufaitfinds.com where I found it):
Mini, Small and Medium
Ok, for the first time in my life, I’m really considering buying a second-hand bag....
It’s a part time which looks to be in a very good condition. The price is also ok, I would prefer to pay a little less for a used bag, but I could live with it...
Authenticity shouldn’t be a problem, it’s a reputable local seller....
I just don’t know if I am ok with a bag that I didn’t buy myself in a boutique....

Are you looking for advice? Reassurance? Other people's experience with second hand bags? Something else? How can we help?
I too prefer buying bags from a store/online but with Bals it's near too impossible if you want the original City for ex. I only look for them in like new condition or at the least excellent condition which often at the worst only means they have become "puddly", not worn.A little bit of all
Are you looking for any particular bag/Bal?
ETA: I did just see someone here who had found a gorgeous new calfskin City at some Bal outlet in France (?) so it's obviously not impossible to find them unused.
A little bit of all
The only problem I've ever had with pre-loved bags is when they were not in the condition described; and buying from a local seller you get to avoid that. Some of my favorite bags were bought pre-loved. With the pandemic, someone may have consigned the bag because they need the money, not because there is anything wrong with it.
I refused to buy a BV Pouch pre-loved over a year ago because with the 'It Bag' status I was afraid of counterfeit. But the bag you're looking at isn't an It Bag, nor is it Chanel or LV which seem like the most counterfeited brands. Add that to getting it from a local seller, and it doesn't seem like there's any reason to worry about authenticity.
Couldn't hurt to at least ask for a discount.
I saw a part time on an online second hand store in my country. I am looking for a light colored bag for spring, that it’s not tiny, but also not huge. All the other options I had in mind are either over my price point at the moment.
I don’t know if I’m allowed to post a link, but this is a picture of the bag:
They also have a gorgeous light pink first, but I’m not considering it because of the short strap...
Thank you so much for this. I am really warming up to it. And I really had a difficult time during the last months, it would be nice to have a little something to cheer me up!
Lovely pink and agree about preferring a bit longer shoulder strap than on the First.
To anyone who needs to hear this:
As long as you can afford it, BUY THE BAG. Life is too short and we need pick me ups every so often.
