Love the City Bag style and there is no doubt Balenciaga uses the best leathers and their colors speak for themselves. Yet, I will stick to my City Bag in taupe suede with the original gunmetal hardware. Talk about a year round, go with everything bag…

   So if you’re looking for a bag that will make you look like a veteran of the brights bandwagon and won’t look dated once the trend is over, you’d be hard-pressed to make a better choice than a Balenciaga City Bag. And naturally, all of Balenciaga’s bags are just about as lightweight as any you’ll find on the market and very easy to carry. But you guys already know that I’m an inveterate Balenciaga fangirl.

 I’m in my mid 30s (yikes) but I do think the either one of these bags would work great in my wardrobe without coming across as “she’s too old for that” look (granted I wear a lot of neutrals). The key is just one pop of color.
