I can understand on both counts — the desire to get another bag in better condition (although in my case, I never got around to replacing my black Town with rose gold hardware) and the more-than-normal amount of shopping during lockdown :lol:.

So true, Minda!! Lol. My shopping has been off the handle since March 2020 and I’ve really amassed a large amount of Balenciaga bags during this time :nuts:. I’ve always wanted a bag in Maldives, so I think it was worth investing into a way better condition one instead of the beat up city I have. Ooooh I bet your black rose gold town is so pretty! I love rose gold hardware. It’s so unique.

I also totally understand your problem.. I’ve been shopping an obscene amount for me personally, also have been unemployed because of the pandemic so that’s also all the more reason not to! But i think in quarantine everyone has just been really bored, and anything for me that will bring up my mood is worth it; and bags entertain me!! Lol if that makes you feel any better. A good hunt for a specific bag is always fun. Maldives is a beautiful color, and the condition doesn’t look too bad IMO still looks like it has quite a bit of life in it. I recently was suggested on a rejuvenation forum to try out Leather CPR Cleaner&Conditioner on a dry bag, and I used it on a few of my cities and one in particular was massively faded and it actually seemed to really help the color saturation out as well, not really sure how that makes sense but my grenadine city looks better than the day I got it! It’s dark now so the lighting isn’t the most accurate (it looks a bit better IRL), but I’ve attached some before and after Leather CPR photos of my grenadine city, maybe this could help yours out as well? Not sure about how you feel about restoration, but purse rehab in the USA has done a good job on dying and restoring color in bal bags I’ve heard, but also a good clean can help a lot as well! I’ve heard many stories of people falling head over heals for their maldives cities, so the fight could be worth it.View attachment 5087080View attachment 5087081

Wow!!! The before and after photos... what an incredible difference. I’m definitely going to invest into some leather CPR as I’ve heard about it on the forums here before and always with good reviews and your photos just convinced me!! Lol I tried a leather cleaner on my Maldives city to try to lift away any dirt or reduce the yellowing to try to restore it back to a more blue colour, but no luck. Hopefully leather CPR does the trick!! If not, I hope I really like my new Maldives day which should be here this week :idea:

and the Leather CPR is cheaper and more readily available than Apple products

Thank you!!! And you know what? You’re totally right! It’s good to have a Balenciaga bag that you can kinda throw around and not baby so much. It’ll be my rough n tough summer bag this year! :giggle:
