Balenciaga First Bag: What’s Your Take?

May 5th, 2009

So here I am going crazy over bags again. Yes, I know I’ve pledged to be a vegetarian and that the main purpose of it is because I’m against animal cruelty. But you can’t take away my love for bags. However, even if I love bags so much, I’m already limiting myself to just a few more leather pieces… I previously have a long list of bag wants but I’ve narrowed the leather to just five. And if I ever want to buy a new bag to add to my collection, I’ll just have to deal with canvas, nylon, or any other fabric instead of going for leather. Obviously, one of the 5 leather bags that I’ve decided to get is from Balenciaga. But I’m having second thoughts on whether to get the Giant City or just the First. It’s a matter of $1,695 or the $1,195? But I worry that if I get the First, I’ll end up buying the Giant City in the future… But I don’t know. It’s just that I have too many wants that I’m trying to get the cheaper one so I can move on to the next want. Haha… oh well. So what do you think about the Balenciaga First Bag? Do you think it’s as cute as the Giant City? The only concern I have is that I prefer bigger bags. But in this case, the price is a big factor too. I’m so bummed… what do you think?
