Okay, so I’ve been wanting a Balenciaga Giant City bag for, like, forever. I finally decided to go for it, and let me tell you, the whole process was a journey!

First, I spent hours, and I mean hours, online just looking at pictures. You know, getting a feel for the different colors, the hardware, and just generally drooling over them. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos too, of people unboxing theirs and styling them. That really helped me narrow down what I wanted.
Decision Time
The hardest part was definitely choosing the color. Black is classic, obviously, but then I saw this gorgeous dark grey, and I was torn! I ended up going with the grey because it felt a little more unique, and I figured it would go with pretty much everything in my closet.
The Hunt Begins
- I started by checking out the official Balenciaga website. Just to get a baseline for price and see what was currently available.
- Then, I hit up all the usual department store websites.
- I remember spending a whole evening going comparing the details!
The Big Moment
After all that searching, I finally found “the one”. I took a deep breath and clicked that “Add to Cart” button. It felt so good! I opted for the standard shipping, and then the waiting game began.
When it finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I carefully unpacked it, and oh my goodness, it was even more beautiful in person. The leather was so soft, and the color was perfect. I immediately transferred all my stuff from my old bag and started using it right away.
Honestly, it’s been my go-to bag ever since. I love how much it holds, and it just adds this cool, effortless vibe to any outfit. Best. Decision. Ever!
