while i definitely hope it wont be discontinued i think it's too early to call it a classic like the chanel quilted bags imo! like the OP said, it's the 7th year...that's not very long in "classics time". they certainly have become iconic, especially through "young hollywood" (nicole richie, lindsay lohan, olsens, etc...) although I think that might actually frighten some buyers off, who don't want to be associated with that!!

I actually just mett a girl who recently got into bbags just like 2 years ago, before that shes never even heard of them.. with more new comers they will probably be a hott commodity still. Of course they really arent the "newest it bag" but theyre still pretty hot nonetheless, and people have to have them! which means they should still make them ;P

I know Nicholas said he will never stop making the bag because women just keep buying it...eventually I could see certain hardwares disappearing but this bag is amazing- I as a designer couldn't imagine coming up with it..I def. think it's Balenciaga's classic and we will always have the motorcycle available.

I did a search, but found out very little about this style.

Do they still make the bowling style? If so, do they only get in a few and do most places sell them?

TIA,

Tell me specifically what you typed in on the search blank. THat will help me and others in the future.

WHat turned up for me was maybe 20 threads, but most were color/year/etc. reference. THere was one specifically about the bowling but had about 4 pics.

Personally, I find the search function here very user un-friendly.

Thank you for the above. I'll look them over.

it helps to choose to search post as opposed to a search with thread chosen, that way, you can see the snippet of the post where the word occurs and you can tell which threads are pertinent to your search.
