Balenciaga Clous Bag

| 15 Comments

Quickly, tell me the first 3 things that come to mind upon seeing this Balenciaga bag. Here are mine: 1. Rocky's body armor complete with spare bullets. 2. Darth Vader's combat bag 3. Forget iPods, carrying around Bang & Olufson portable speakers is so much more hip hop.

I am either not cool enough to get this or it's another one of those "Star Wars inspired me so I made a bag" type of thing from Nicolas Ghesquiere (remember his obsession with Tron and the $65,000 pants that resulted from it?) Who wants to spend thousands of dollars to look like some science fiction reject? And If we do choose to spend that kind of money on a bag shouldn't it at least look like a bag? Does this appeal to anyone? Just wondering because if it does, you probably shouldn't continue reading our website as you might be offended by our taste.

  • Mmmmm, no. I don't like it either. It looks a bit like a household appliance - or maybe a cheese grater. Don't really know, but I definitely wouldn't carry it. I-S-D

  • er... let's whip out the cardboard and start breakin' right now. Jam o ramma to the beat. Looks like a boom box to me. Do you think those speakers are hi-fi?

  • ew.. when i first saw it it looked like some kind of weird skeleton insect thing, see the "spine"? disturbing!

  • I have to say I think it would look cute with dark denim, and some wedges? Although it is sort of a flash back from the days of MJ and his "I'm Bad" album. Sorry to disagree! I like it!

  • Hideous.

  • It's always nice to know that there is a bag that will work with what Darth Vader is wearing! I'm sure it's been difficult for him to find the right bag. xoxo, HK

  • love this to bits! its the ultimate in geek-grrrrl chic!!!

  • Robin, you are one demented person. This bag is EEEEEEWWWWWWW. who can afford this piece of trash (and who would buy it)?!

  • bullets, metal, Domanatrix

  • Hmmm - Ta for the compliment! This modern bag is art meets design and will look fab out and about town in the world's trendiest hot spots!!!

  • You never fail to make me laugh OUT LOUD with your comments. I like the Bang and Olufsen bit! Priceless!

    And yes, the bag is positively hideous ... :)

  • i dont really like how the leather shines and looks kind of fake and ..cheap but the bag IS HILARIOUS!!! i LOVE how it looks SO unlike all of the other bags out there, i mean, after a while they get kind of boring, would TOTALLY carry it! its so fun!

  • I absolutely LOVE this bag. You just need to see it worn properly.

  • Does this one also available with the desk top charger ? =))
