Thanks. I've accumulated a few older bags which i prefer to use over the newer seasons. In the City I have Orange, Black, Apple Green, & Anis. Twiggies are the Marron and Lilac. I have a couple of other bags from 06 but the texture just doesn't compare. The one thing I'm not partial to on the city are the extended zippers. The purse would be a nice, clean alternative to that.
Lovely,
Konabay. That is a great collection you have there.
I agree with you when it comes to the zippers on the city. I prefer the purse and the twiggy to the city, and one of the reasons why is because I don't like how the zippers extend over the edge on the city. It gives the bag more of a casual look. The sides of the purse are slightly pinched, so the purse has, just like you said, a cleaner look. Unfortunately the purse doesn't fit as much as the city does.
I do think the city has a more classic, timeless shape than the twiggy does though. I like the twiggy because it's quirky and a little offbeat, and it fits my personality better. I'm not sure I'll like the style as much five years down the road though.
I hope the rumors about Balenciaga going back to the older leather are true. I would love to see them go back to the 2003 leather, but I doubt they would take it back that far.
