Thanks all for the help. It looks like I'll be making a trip to NM--we do have one in here (snobby, thus my aversion), but they don't carry Balenciaga--they can order one, but having never seen any of the styles or colors, I want to look at them before making a purchase....
My trip is the first week in November. I'll let y'all know if I get my first Balenciaga!
