AHHHH, finally a new design from Balenciaga that will rival the Motorcycle and the City. This is an instant classic with new hardware and the tab closure - gone are the grommets and the zipper outer pocket. Seriously tired of those. You still get a bit of the signature buckle but it is all switched up and actually add function by being on the side to expand the girth (well, not super functional but at least makes more sense than the corner buckles that do nothing). The earthy clay color is also a change from the bright oranges or the dirt browns that they always have for Fall. I have no idea how much this bag is, but will probably not veer too far from the $1600-1800 range or maybe they will surprise us and be nice to our shrinking wallets by offering it for $1200! I'm channeling the powers that be at Balenciaga, "Trust me, if you sell this for $1200, it will sell out before it reaches any sale, so in the end it will all even out for you". That's my free 2 cents for them.
ooh. i might just get this
I liked it at first, but now I think it's just okay. But much better now that they are going to something "more" classic. I don't really like a lot of hardware for the sake of hardware. :)
I love this color!!! I may need to add this color to my collection.
i love the color...
will they do something bigger for the boys a la the weekender??
it looks really gorgeous!
Finally, something made by Balenciaga that the over 25 crowd can wear without looking age innapropriate! This color wont work for me, but I look forward to anything in the cool shades.
