Lush bag

Halleybird (my sister) has it in black and I LOVE it..I'm pretty sure its real leather and it looks really nice but she'll have to tell you more

Yep, I have it. I took pictures a while back for jen...I think I still have them if you want me to email them to you.

You can order from nessaleestyle.com and use either LOVEJESS or VIP1 for 20% off -- it will cost about $85 for the small.

I think I like olive green...my favorite is seafoam, though.

Thanks Halleybird! I'd love to see some pictures of yours. How do you like your bag? Is the quality ok? I'm thinking of getting the small one because I don't normally carry too many things with me. I really like the seafoam one too but I don't think the color would work well with my wardrobe.

I got mine from ebay, from someone who'd ordered it and then decided to get the real balenciaga, so I am not sure how old mine is. The leather is really soft (a little thin, but I think it has to be that way in order to "slouch" well) and not at all shiny. I have heard that it can be a little shiny at first, but I never experienced that. The tassels are all nice, and it's held up really well in the past 2 months or so that I've had it.

Where I live, no one even knows what a real Balenciaga is. Most of my students either say it looks like "something a dominatrix would carry" or that it's cowgirl-ish. Whatev.

Here are my pics -- hope they loaded OK. Also, let me know if they're huge, because for some reason, my own photobucket pics are never the same size as the ones you guys see.

Thanks so much Halleybird! Your pictures look great...I really think I'm going to get one now. Sigh, I'm in love.

This bag is beautiful! I think I may have to get one.
