Balenciaga is a Spanish design house founded by Cristobal Balenciaga in 1914. Historically known for his fine couturier and eccentric “bubble skirts,” Balenciaga influenced designers like Coco Chanel and Christian Dior.Alexander Wang is the Creative Director for Balenciaga, and you can see his influence in these moto-chic bags. These bags have been seen on countless celebrities and fashionistas, including Sienna Miller and Emmanuelle Alt, the editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris.So turn up the music and rock some of these amazing handbags!
The Classic City bag is the one most commonly slung around the arms of celebrities in LA, New York, London, and worldwide. Made in “motorcycle style,” its long tassel zip pulls and metal hardware evoke scenes of backstage drama through the changing eras of rock n’ roll from the 1950s onward.This bag is “Kate Moss meets Bowie.” It’s leather-on-leather. Pair it with this season’s leather leggings and you’ll be mistaken for a model off duty who’s running to her boyfriend’s concert. Or you’ll be New York City’s next big thing. But that wouldn’t be so bad, would it?The City bag comes in many beautiful colors, all leather, including red and forest green.The Balenciaga Classic Mini City is a smaller version of the City bag, but it’s just as rock n’ roll. These rough leather bags are all about the urban rebel in you. The metal hardware accents add a little utility to the look, and there is a zippered outer pocket with long tassel pulls.The Classic Small City has been added in the later stage. So there are now three sizes for this iconic style.

Ah, the Classic First bag from Balenciaga. It’s the most iconic bag, and it’s inspired similar models like the City and Mini City. The shape is unique to Balenciaga, with that classic dip of soft leather below the studded handles, and the pinched sides. The zippered outer compartment design, with long tassel pulls and metal hardware is also replicated in the City and Mini City, but this is the original motorcycle bag. It’s sexy, rebellious, and can stand up to all trials!The Classic First is a handbag and a cross body, as it comes with an adjustable, removable shoulder strap. Perfect for swinging to your hip as you jump on the back of a motorcycle.

Balenciaga’s “Le Dix” collection, the designer has replaced the distressed leather of the Classic and Giant bags with a smooth, thick leather. The rigid and square shapes of the Le Dix line are hot this season, especially with a simple gold clasp almost in the Hermès style. The handle and mirrors are something to be marveled at! Such a simple and elegant style can be worn by anyone – even if they have a little Balenciaga rebel left in them!The “giant” bags are named for their large metal studs and include styles like the City, the First, the Weekender, and the Day bag. Le dix bags are named after the first flagship boutique on 10 Avenue George V in Paris, and are modeled after vintage ladies’ handbags.Balenciaga is going back to their roots with these amazing vintage treasures. Right now, the only bags that are available are Le Dix Zip Cartable, Le Dix Cartable M, and Le Dix Cartable S. All three bag styles can be personalized with an engraved message of your choice on the signature key-ring mirror. This option is only available for Le Dix bag styles. Each bag also comes with an adjustable and removable shoulder strap. There’s really no reason not to invest in this timeless classic!

Hi ,
I am a balenciaga lover , I have the Balenciaga Classic City bag and planning to add on the Balenciaga Classic Metalic City Edge (Small). Where will you recommend to buy ? London / Europe with a higher rate for VAT claim .
I got a bad experience in my recent trip VAT claim in London for my Chanel / Dior bags . They would not let me claim through my CC and required me to get cash instead . In the boutique, I filled up the CC refund option though .
Really hope to hear your opinion and guidance .
Thank you !
The issue whether you get cash or CC depends on the company you process your tax-refund. Cash might be even better than CC, maybe less money, but then again if something happens that you don’t get credited, there is no hassle anymore. We have the vat refund rate covered here: https://www.bragmybag.com/vat-refund-rate-in-europe/
