Whole new Style - no Hardware (2016)
- Thread starter CeeJay
- Start date
Just received pics from the Bal-LA boutique, of a whole new 'style' .. without any hardware (as you will all see). This is something that I have to see IRL, because I'm not quite sure about it .. however, since it is Calfskin leather (like the Metal Plate), one never knows!!!
- Pic #1 = Small City
- Pic #2 = City
what is price of pic1 ?
THIS!!! .. is the one that I REALLY want!!! Now that I'm back working again, I'm going to save up my pennies .. JUST LOVE THIS!! The leather is truly spectacular on these bags, but dang-it-all, these bags ARE NOT cheap by any means!
I believe the Small Cities are around $1900+ in the US; alas, the "regular" sized City is rather expensive .. I think it's around $2900! I know . UGGH!
congrats! 
Congrats on returning to work, Ceejay!
It's such a great color - love the contrast with the black leather underneath. I'm still holding out for the Valentine's City - hoping to find it on sale someday!
Hi there, how is your blackout holding up? Would love to hear some feedback on the leather. It doesn't seem to me like it would scratch easily
It's gorgeous. Breaking in nicely--not like traditional thin Bal puddle leather and isn't meant to be. Softening as expected with lovely patina.
It's thick and rugged and rich and velvety. Not a scratch on it -and I don't baby it! Have worn for 2 1/2 months straight on urban public transit commute, in midwestern snow, on planes, trains, automobiles and hoofing it --everything. This leather suits my taste better than just about any I've had-including other Bals.
It's spectacular!
I absolutely love it in the graffiti style, works so well without the studded hardware.
OMG this color is absolutely gorgeous! I wish i could see it somewhere in real life. Thanks for sharing this beautiful photo.
Me too! At first i didn't pay any attention to them. I didn't hate the bag or love it either. But the more i see it the more i am drawn to them. There is a quiet beauty about them.
So so good to hear! Now i really, really want one now. I love that the new designer is experimenting with new styles. I am actually growing to really love the look of this bag without the hardware. It's a dark,edgy beauty, it's definitely very artsy and designer. I hope to find one in stores in black, so i can feel the leather up close and hopefully purchase.
