For what it’s worth (and I’m a nobody, so it’s not much), I have bought and sold so many LVs over the years and recently bought structured bags to replace smooshy canvas bags...now I’m in the market for something not LV canvas but is an easy, smooshy and casual style, and Balenciaga City bags seem to want to fill that need. I’ve not ventured into Balenciaga bags yet for whatever reason, but now I’m hunting for one, because they’re so different than everything else I’m seeing (on preloved markets where I usually travel online).

So there may be a dip in general popularity, but if a bag looks good, it just looks good (especially if the person wearing it feels good wearing it) and I’m excited to have a new bag to learn about and hunt down. Plus, I won’t feel so paranoid about taking it out on the RV this summer, not that I won’t take care of it, but it seems like it will be more functional than a delicate, hard-edged boxy bag wherein a dent equates to $100s of lost resale value.

I’m excited to be on this part of the board! Have a good day, everyone :)

I probably have about 20+ various "older" B-bags at this point. My 14 yo is starting to take an interest in "fashion" and brands at this age. She and her girlfriends discuss what they have or want. She shocked me when she requested older Balenciaga pieces as gifts. She likes them for the same reasons why I do, they're not logo'd and you don't see lot of people walking around with them and they go with everything.


I still search every day for new "pre-loved" B-bags. I have yet to find another bag that seems to fit me or my lifestyle.

Well, as most of you know, I (and yes - still daily) peruse the internet for Balenciaga bags (City being the most prevalent style). Well, 'lo and behold, I'm definitely seeing some increased prices for the City bags .. so, not sure if the resale market has heard the news about no more "old" (truly classic) City Bag production. Anyhow, if you see something that is in great condition and good color, you might want to think about getting it if you are in the market.

CeeJay, I was just discussing prices with another TPFer, it's not just Bal Cities, it seems to be across the board. FP's prices have gone up and they're not offering the 20% discount on as many bags. Bags out of Japan seem to be higher priced. And eBay prices are all over the map. Looks like the buyer's market is changing...

I was just thinking today that FP is pricing bags higher than usual.

I hope they never come back “in style.” Then I can buy more of them for myself! I started collecting over 10 years ago, almost sold most of them a couple years ago, but am now using them again. I have yellows, blues, purples, greys, pinks, greens, Days, Totes (Papier A5, Striped Bazar), Velo, Cities, and Firsts. I’m trying to stop but currently eyeing a couple of pre-loved.
