I’m a convert!

Yes, I am officially a convert to those Motorcycle Bags! :P Just love everything about it. And after reading a number of posts from the Purse Forum, yes I am convinced that it’s a perfect bag for my wardrobes, lol ;) I have never looked on bags this way before. So what I do love about it? Well, I totally agree on what Amanda Mull of Purse Blog have written here. If you are a bag hag who love designer bags and don’t own a Balenciaga yet, then i suggest that you read the article.

The article link is about 5 Reasons Why Covet a Balenciaga Bag in your lifetime! (pun intended :D )  In a nutshell, Amanda talks about the following:

1. Lovely colors created only twice a year. Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter Collections. Balenciaga creates the most beautiful colors from neutrals to jewels to neons and even the brightest and boldest ones. A color black released for 2009 is a different black to what was released for 2010. Doesn’t it make exciting? Balenciaga fans are actually on the lookout when new colors are released. Likely, there’s a nice one to get per season collection.

2. Balenciaga has the widest selection of styles and shapes. Even coin purses are available. Clutches, hobos, totes, shoulder bags, messenger bags, overnight bags. Sizes differ also. There’s a perfect shape and size for everyone’s figure and height.

3. The leather is so fluffy and soft. It is also so light. But can also stand wears. Balenciaga bags are known for its durability. No question on that ;)

4. It is a modern bag. For me, it’s the new age bag. A City for example can be worn as hand-carried, shoulder type because of the long strap or clamped on your arm. And the hardware used on each bag is your bling-bling! They are known in Balenciaga language as Regular, Giant, Covered. You could have a choice of Silver or Gold Studs or even the new one as Rose. And the tassels are so edgy. But with colors you would choose, you could be really be known as a fashion girl.

5. Balenciaga is a hard to find bag. That’s why I love it even better. In store here in Manila, they only carry one piece per color per style! Can you imagine your authenticity and uniqueness if you are spotted with one? But still, it is one of the most sought after bags of bag hags all over the world and even hollywood celebrities! The brand in itself is hard to find both online and in stores. I know most are even ordering from US or UK countries to have their Balenciaga bags shipped here in Manila (I’m one of them! lol :P ) Not all countries have flag stores. Not everyone would know how to spot a Balenciaga. There’s like an exclusive club only who could. And if you are worried about fakes, it is not as widely copied as Vuittons and Guccis. And if you own one, you could easily spot a cheapskate.

Now read more the article link above.  So why am I posting this?  Oh well, it’s just that I’m a convert so you would likely see few additions to my first ever Balenciaga bag :P :D
