Hi,
I bought my Balenciaga city in 2011. It was perfect except the leather was a little on the dry side.
Since then it has died so I went into the Balenciaga shop and found that now they are calling what I used to have the “classic” (apparently the shape has changed a little and they used to have a medium size) they have shortened the handles and now it comes with a long strap! On top of that I was told that they are slowly phasing out the city!!!
looks like I have to buy pre-owned.
Can someone tell me when they shortened the handles? I was told that the handles were already shortened when the longer straps were introduced a couple of years back.
TIA
