I LOVE this style! Tillie thank you so much for posting those lovely pics of your Sister in Law modeling her stunning Giant Hips. What great color choices. They look incredible!

I have a question for anyone that has their Giant Hip handy. Could you check the rivet and tell me if it has a dot in the center? I of course posted this in AT this as well, but since there aren't all that many Hips out there yet I figured I'd check with some of you that have them.

Here's what I'm talking about:

I've just checked mine, it does has a dot but a very very small. It doesn't look like it's been pressed or defected.

By the way, I got mine from Paris shop last month and it's Black SGH hip like yours. ;)

Thank you so much for checking Rocktiddy!! Congrats on your hip btw, I'm sure you're loving it. As much as I drool over the look of bigger Bal styles, this small size fits my lifestyle so perfectly.

omg too cute, I'm imaging this for casual clubbing w/dancing. Hmm, is it crazy to get a black one when I have a black town bag?

I don't think it's crazy at all. The Hip is great when you only need to carry just a few things and the Town would be too big to hit the dance floor with. Also, when you double the strap, you can wear the Hip as a shoulder bag.

Okay, I know no one has posted to this thread in a couple of months, but I just got a Hip and I'm immensely distracted by something I hadn't noticed prior to my buying the Hip. It appears as though there's something missing from the elements that we all have come to know and love in the design of a Balenciaga bag. Look at the 2 buckles on the lower corners of the Hip. Notice anything? There's no patch of leather behind the buckle!! I don't know if I'm describing this correctly, but look at another b-bag, like the First, the City, even the Makeup, which is so similar to the Hip -- they all have this pointy shaped patch of leather on the corners and the buckle sits on top of that patch of leather. I hope I'm making sense to someone out there. I'm SO DISTRACTED by this missing "design feature" on the Hip. Was it intentional? If so, WHY?! Those patches of leather are even on the Ticket, for Pete's sake. And not to drive the point into the ground, but they're also on the Makeup AND the Shoulder -- both of which is like a twin of the Hip! I'm baffled... Please chime in if anyone understands or has any opinion about this at all... Has anyone noticed this before me? Does it bother anyone?

Besides the missing patch, there is also no strings. It is a little weird... :nogood:

Completely agree. The Hip is the perfect little cross body or shoulder Bal for your wallet, cell, keys, camera, ipod, etc. It's small but roomier that I expected. Great for going out, running errands, etc.

I carry my Hip (technically mine is LE NM Shoulder) daily and when I need a bigger bag I just put the Hip inside it so I don't have to move things around.

Saff, your Hip mod pics are wonderful! LOVE how you make it look great both dressy and casual. Your style is awesome!
