What can you tell me about the Day?

I cannot stop thinking about Balenciaga. I tried the Twiggy last year and I know that style wasn't right for me, but I really did love everything else about it and sorta kinda regret selling it.

So now I'm back and I'm looking at more of a comfy shoulder bag style. The Day seems to fit the bill.

If I allow myself this purchase, it will probably be the only bag I buy this year (I'm not supposed to be buying anything). So I would like to learn as much as I can about the style beforehand. There is no chance I'll see this in person since there are no stores that sell Balenciaga around here.

Is this a comfortable easy to wear style? How flexible is that shoulder strap? Does it mold to the shoulder? I am planning to stick with a shade in the neutral color family. Has anyone had any trouble with color transfer with the lighter Balenciaga colors (like Sahara or Sandstone?) It seems big enough that it will hold everything I normally carry. Anything else I should know?

Thanks!

LOL! I'm here!!! I love the Day style, and it fits really comfortably on the shoulder. I think the biggest complaint anyone ever has about it is that it can become a "black hole" for your things as it's a "long" style. however, I tend to keep all of my things in coin purses, wallets, etc. and never had an issue finding my things in a day when I've owned them (certainly no more than I have in a city or twiggy). The only other negative I've ever heard is that some feel the bag is too unstructured for them, but I really liked the casual feel of the bag and didn't find it too casual for work. Plus, it kind of conforms to your body, so it doesn't look too big.

As for color transfer, I have owned lighter colored bals and really haven't had an issue with color transfer (I have a pistachio twiggy now and have had no issues), but for good measure, you can always use some Applegarde- it won't affect the leather at all and won't leave any permanent smell or stains.

Hope that helps!

After selling my first a few months ago, the next Bbag I want is the Day. I have played with them before and realized that its very much a black hole, but its one heck of a hot black hole.

I don't remember if Di has her Day anymore or not. I do remember he saying it is deep!

I think I can deal with the black hole.

I keep my stuff all tucked away in my Vera pouches so I think that will help. Just trying to decide if I'm ready to drop a crapload of $$$ on one bag.

I agree with everything said!! it is DEFINITELY by FAR the most comfiest bbag I've had!! the only thing I didn't love was the 'black hole' aspect but it was so comfy.

if it helps, I very rarely lost money on a bbag - so if you want to try one and don't like it, you should be able to recoup your money

**CindyLou** · 02-06-2010 11:46 PM

oh yea the resale value on the bbags are worth the splurge. I recouped everything I spent on the first and that made me very happy
