I love both but prefer the darker mustard. I agree I don’t understand why they put the strap lower, makes no sense and would drive me crazy. Have a great week 💕
Yeah I do too. I'm so in to the deep mustard color. In person the City is darker than it appears on the camera BUT i still prefer the shade of the velo. Yeah it drives me crazy too lol
The yellow shades are stunning! I too would prefer the deeper mustard shade for everyday. Ooh the slouch look i love and hate at the same time! Love Balenciaga's edgy vibes. Great comparison dear💕
Oh gosh your yellow (or mustard) City looks so nice!!! I do admit that the Velo wears better. I have both, and I gravitate towards the Velo, too. Gosh I wish I could trade my Gris Pyrite city with that mustard 😭
If you love it, there's nothing wrong with keeping a "museum bag" :P I have 2 bags which I *love* and never wanna sell but all I do is look at them! So don't sell if you love looking at it! Think of it as CPL - cost per look instead of cost per wear 😝 But if, in a few months, you feel like you really don't *need* it, you can still sell! xx
LOL a "museum bag" you crack me up. I guess i will have to think about it. I don't want to regret it BUUUUT I just can't see myself reaching for it now that I have the Velo..and if i want to use a City, i have the ultra violet. Gosh, i don't freakin know
City has always been my favorite, although both bags are gorgeous! I would say sell it so that you can get something else that you would love to look at and use as well🥰 also! Thank you for that tip to get rid of the smell.. I’m into vintage pieces but I don’t like the smell that comes with it! 🥴Great video and have a nice day!😍
Yeah sometimes vintage smells are so weird. The City didn't come with any smell other than leather. The Velo smelt like my moms perfume which is strong BUT the charcoal bags took it out COMPLETELY! I love that size. The only con would be the strap i think
Come through Yellow 🌼💛🌻👑🐯🐣🐥🐤🐝🌞**MUSTARD** I agree both are beautiful but if you like the N/S better than the E/W I totally get it. I understand. They are very similar. You don’t need two of such close same similar colors. Tfs babe 😘
I was torn between Velo and Town and went with the Town... I really like having a crossbody option but now I'm wondering if I should've gone with the Velo!
Was laying in bed this morning, watching this video and then your petite Neo video was recommended and I thought let me check the website and see if any of my items on my wishlist are available and guess what there it was in all it's glory I selected add to cart at 5:53 a.m. And I got it. It's all your fault! Enjoy all your videos gurl!
That yellow Velo looks amazing on you!!😍 I do prefer the deeper mustard shade on it! If you ever decide to sell the city let me know. I would love to have a balenciaga in yellow coz it's my absolute favorite color!💛💛💛
I was also super torn between the Velo and city. The city bag is much popular and velo is an underrated balenciaga style. I also prefer the velo more than the city. Lovely Bags!!!
Simply because of how similar the colors are, I would sell the City bag. I almost picked one up in a really gorgeous denim blue just because you make the bag look so good! But I took too long and when I went back , it was sold 😱
Yeah I know you are right but gosh i hate selling. At least I would still have the ultra violet city if I feel the need for a City bag. OOOO denim? Sounds pretty.
Don't keep it just because it's beautiful, girl :) It has to be functional too. Now here is a thought: are the colors close enough to where you can use the shorter City strap on Velo? Or, what does it look like, if you use the strap from your Violet City on a mustard City? Or the Velo?
I think the City looks best carrying in the crook of the arm while the Velo looks best carrying on shoulder. Personally I like the proportion of the City better, but if you like to carry the bag on your shoulder, I’d say go with the Velo.
para966 I think I prefer the shape and feel of the velo. Both are such amazing bags though and so beautiful. I might hold on to the city a little longer just to be sure
I just bought a Velo too! Does yours have Giant hardware? Do you think the charcoal would remove musty odor? I have a vintage Noe GM that could use it. 😊
Definitely Velo is the keeper! ❤️ For me, I couldn’t justify keeping a bag just for looks, it needs to be functional. Take photos for keepsake 😂 sell the City and use the money to buy something else 👍🏻
Both bags are gorgeous! I love the Velo but love the City too. Tough decision ... let me know if you decide to part with your City, I'd love to buy her. :) I've been trying to find one on Fashionphile and no luck.
They are both such amazingly beautiful bags!!! I think I am probably going to sell it. i just can't justify keeping both although they are both beautiful. If you are interested we can chat over on IG :)
I love the mangue City Bag. You hit the jackpot twice having 2 of those gorgeous Balenciagas in your possession. I too collect Balenciagas - they are my favorite bag and take up half my closet. I have been searching for this size and color Balenciaga for months. Tried all the fashion websites but they are either sold or not in good condition (too much scuffing or discoloration). While I can relate to keeping both bags even though they are similar in shape, color and feel (I do that with shoes and boots, if I love and buy them in black, I'll buy them in brown too) never feel any pressure to sell one or the other. But if you wake up one day and ask yourself what am I doing with practically two identical bags and I can use the money to buy ANOTHER Balenciaga dream bag, please consider reaching out to me because I will buy the City bag from you. I think it will look perfect with my new sneakers that are the same exact color of the bag(s) or just a plain neutral t-shirt and jeans in need of a pop color to bring it all together. I hope to hear from you. Your video was GREAT and your tats are to die for. Your artists does amazing work. Thank you so muchQ xoxo
Hey! Thank you so much!!!! I have been trying to sell the city. I was going to keep it but TBH for me, I just feel they are too close and if I go for the city I’d prob grab my ultraviolet and when I was mustard, go for my Velo. I know I’ll miss it, that’s for sure but I have so many bags it’s stupid 🤣😂 can’t believe I said that either haha If you wanna chat about it, DM me over on IG :)
@@LVCoffeeLVer Hi! Can you email me at ablumenthal@ssrga.com. After 6 pm is best. This way we can chat privately. I live in Poughkeepsie, NY. So whenever is best for you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!!! OMG - I am SO excited!!!!!
Hi again - please reach out to me if you are seriously considering the sale of the mangue City bag. I know it's a hard choice to make. It's like choosing which best friend to part with. Easier to just keep them both. But if you get brave and pull the plug, I promise to give it a good home and use it in your honor. I don't think anyone appreciates the Balenciaga style and quality more than you and I. Your lesser favorite of the two happens to be my fave (in color and style)! This could be a win-win situation for both of us. Please let me know and hope we chat again soon. Many thanks!!
@@LVCoffeeLVer Unfortunately, I don't have an INSTAGRAM account. Did you type: ablumenthal@ssrga.com? Or else try my personal email: abbygeneblu27@gmail.com.
Does the mustard color city bag that you own have the sterling silver metal tag on the inside. If it is SS it will have a tiny 925 a the corner of the tag.
Don't keep it just because it's beautiful!!! I know you absolutely love yellow/mustard....but that bag is too fussy with it tipping over! OMG that would make me insane!...Yes, It's pretty, but the Velo checks off ALL the boxes... Sell the City and buy yourself another new treasure!💜
Yeah, I know you are right. It really is fussy and those issues kind of drive me crazy. and if I get the need to use a city, i'd still have my ultra violet
The Velo is a winner. I had it on my list and almost bought it earlier this year but never pulled the trigger. Now it’s back on the list! TFS.
NatashaTashaTash it’s such a good one! I love the shape and size
I love both but prefer the darker mustard. I agree I don’t understand why they put the strap lower, makes no sense and would drive me crazy. Have a great week 💕

Oh gosh your yellow (or mustard) City looks so nice!!! I do admit that the Velo wears better. I have both, and I gravitate towards the Velo, too.
Gosh I wish I could trade my Gris Pyrite city with that mustard 😭
The city’s color is AMAZING. I did sell it though :)

@@LVCoffeeLVer I’m having the same dilemma and so I came here 🤣
Funny enough my dilemma is about a bloody mustard bag too! 😜

Yeah they really are too similar to keep both. I think i'll need to part with the City. GOsh i hate selling
The leather on the velo looks so smooshy💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
It is SOO smooshy
I was torn between Velo and Town and went with the Town... I really like having a crossbody option but now I'm wondering if I should've gone with the Velo!
Amy D but the town is so good too! Great size and cute

That yellow Velo looks amazing on you!!😍 I do prefer the deeper mustard shade on it! If you ever decide to sell the city let me know. I would love to have a balenciaga in yellow coz it's my absolute favorite color!💛💛💛
Rae DG hey! I love the deep one too but I also love the city color haha. They are such perfect mustards!!!!
I am considering it...just need to be sure
Now that’s a bag I would like to have!!!! I love the leather and I love love the slouch on it!!!!
They are such amazing bags! I love all of them. They feel so well made and are so soft and smooshy!
Yes I love that color & the balenciaga bags! If you decide to sell it I might be interested. I've had that bag in my sights for awhile now💖
Diane Nolan I might do it. Trying so hard to think. Dm me on IG and we can chat about it :)
I was also super torn between the Velo and city. The city bag is much popular and velo is an underrated balenciaga style. I also prefer the velo more than the city.
Lovely Bags!!!
I totally agree that the velo is so underrated. I think most don't know about it so win for us :D

Gosh but it's so hard LOL. I think the Velo is alot darker and you would be able to tell...maybe i need to try :)
@@LVCoffeeLVer Lol, I hear ya 😁 Well if you sell the mustard City, take a look at Balenciaga Day bag, that one is a true hobo style 😉👍
need4speedy I saw that one! I love how it looks too!! So many good Balenciaga bags
Can you share the official Balenciaga color name of your Velo bag? Thanks!
Hello :) it’s Jaune Moutarde
I think the City looks best carrying in the crook of the arm while the Velo looks best carrying on shoulder. Personally I like the proportion of the City better, but if you like to carry the bag on your shoulder, I’d say go with the Velo.
para966 I think I prefer the shape and feel of the velo. Both are such amazing bags though and so beautiful. I might hold on to the city a little longer just to be sure
I so loved your videos and currently I’m eyeing for a Balenciaga ☺️ may I ask where to buy good and genuine pre-loved? Thank you
Thank you!!! Fashionphile or Yoogis closet :)
I wud sell , love both, but now you have pointed out the city slouch, where the strap hinge sides are to low , my fav wud be the velo
Yeah, you are right. The Velo has more pluses where as the city has more cons
I just bought a Velo too! Does yours have Giant hardware? Do you think the charcoal would remove musty odor? I have a vintage Noe GM that could use it. 😊
Brica Griffith hey :) no mine is regular hardware.
Hummmm maybe...I think it could help for sure but I’m not 💯
Those are so pretty! That color! 🤤🤤
Cindy Skimmyhorn thank you! I looove mustards 🔆
Definitely Velo is the keeper! ❤️ For me, I couldn’t justify keeping a bag just for looks, it needs to be functional. Take photos for keepsake 😂 sell the City and use the money to buy something else 👍🏻
I agree. I know you are so right but it's so hard lol. When I obsess over colors it's hard to part with but I think i eventually will

I have the same issue with the City so I sold mine and got a Part Time, which is like the perfect strap length and slouchy look I like of the City
OOOO a part time. I hven't tried that one yet!

It does have a silver metal tag. My Ultra violet has the silver metal tag too
Debby I’m sorry I don’t understand your question

Yeah, I know you are right. It really is fussy and those issues kind of drive me crazy. and if I get the need to use a city, i'd still have my ultra violet
I think you should sell it. They are much too similar. Get a different bag!
Can you compare with your a Town bag? TFS
I'm still trying to decide. I think you might be right though.
I think I did a comparison of the Town VS City
I think the Velo looks better .
Yeah, I agree
