I too am not a Bal Gal either!! I ended up putting away my black bal in my closet because the tissue-paper thin leather was showing wear and the tassel was peeling after less than 6 months use. I bought that bag back in 2005. Never used it again.^along the same lines that paper thin leather, Balenciaga bags were a disappointment to me. I kept thinking each bag would be different as I've purchased several over the past few years. I just have to suck it up and realize I'm not a Bal gal. I felt like I had to baby every bag for fear of scuffing the leather.
