I hope this is the place to post this? Looks like it’s just on one track even though a general thread? Anyway is there a way to check if a bag is a city, part time, work? I recently got my first city but I need a bigger one already lol but don’t trust myself to look through VC and know for sure that I am getting what it says it is as far as model. Also some don’t have the model listed. I’ve had great experiences and know other sites would be similar. I’m just curious how to know we are getting the right kind.

I think what I really want as far as a larger version of the city is a work but I’ll still watch around and make sure :smile:
(except for the rare micro-perforated city) the City does not have a seam down the middle of the front. The east-west part time is wider than the city, has a seam down the middle front, and comes with strap. The work also has a seam but no strap and is longer than the part time. Look for the seam. That will tell you a lot about what style youre looking at. There are also serial number differences but the seam is the most immediate tell tale sign.

I may get ragged on for this, but . . . 99% of the pics our members share of themselves & their bags look better than the last 2 photos shared in the Celebrities & Balenciaga thread

Here's a basic diagram of the shapes of some of the common styles if that makes it any easier.
All but Work & Weekender will have shoulder straps, and Work will have 2 studs below the handles, Weekender 3.
(And if you have any questions, there's an Identify thread that can help as well)

I just bought a work and didn’t know there was a weekender 😣 lol thank you so much!! I guess I may have an excuse for my next bag, what a pity 😉

But I bought my first two within two weeks, closer to one so I’ll chill lol.

what color/season Work did ya get? :graucho:

I just bought my first Weekender and as much as I love big bags, even I have to admit, this bag is HYUGE!
Couldn't resist tho because it's a color I've been wanting for so long, but its so big - as someone who works from home andd never travels, I can't imagine having the opportunity to use it much

That’s good to know thank you! I’ll see how I feel with the work bag. I miss the old days where bags were so big!

ETA: it’s camel but I’m unsure of the year, I didn’t check but it has the info available for me to do so so when I get a minute I’ll look.

Town is sized between the First and City.
