Default Re: Balenciaga Bags...HELP ME

Ok... the leather is incredibly smooshy and soft... You can buy authentic Balenciaga's on Diabro.net, Aloha Rag (by calling their phone#), and Balenciaga New York. Or at high end department stores such as Neiman Marcus, and I believe Saks sells them too. I recieved a small booklet with a bit of care info on my Bbag when I bought her last year, here's what it reads:

"This leather item was created by expert craftsmen from carefully selected material. The special tanning process and later re-tanning with chrome and special oils leave the leather soft and smooth. Any irregularities are inherent features of the leather. This leather is naturally colour fast and is not subjected to protective and water-repellence treatments. The reactions to contact with water and the change in colour, a result of rubbing and above all use of the item, are to be considered aesthetic features that are a further guarantee of its genuine nature. The cracking texture is deliberately done in a non-uniform manner to achieve a vintage effect. Our staff is on hand for any further information and needs."

... and I hate being reminded, but the leather is made out of chevre... or goat...
