I am not!

In response to Elly's "accusation", I feel the need to justify clarify myself.

I am NOT a Balenciaga hoarder.  Only because I cannot afford to be one.  However, I must admit that what they say on the various threads in the Balenciaga forum on Purseforum.com is true.  One is not enough.  Especially if you are lucky enough to come into posession of one that has leather so soft and smooshy, so deliciously spongy and slouchy yet still maintains a cool urban look due to its edgy design.  It doesn't matter what I say, like Elly, you will not be a convert until you own one yourself.

The thing I like best about the Bbag (as it is so fondly called), is the fact that you ARE SUPPOSED to let it get a bit seasoned.  That does not mean you should let it turn into a toad, ok Elly?  It just means, one will not have to worry about carrying around the kitchen sink in one's bag and having the leather go a bit saggy.  It is meant to do that.

Having said that, I still whip out le-trusty-Envirosax when there's a hint of a raincloud on the horizon.  Rain and leather, a happy marriage does not make.

With regards to Elly's new link on the post of sending your bags to your local cobbler to have it erm, rejuvenated, imagine my horror when I asked the SA at Balenciaga, KLCC where the best place to send Bbags for a spot of cleaning would be and she informed me that their usual cobbler downstairs have closed shop.  However, after hearing the bill amount for getting Elly's toad to transform back into her prince at My Bag Spa, I'm quite seriously considering the local cobbler.  Apparently it is a dirty little secret but luxury boutiques swear by it.

So for the last word,  Balenciaga Motorcycle Bags, to know one is to love one. :D

Love,
Emm
