I am not sure what Balenciaga is doing, I mean, what they are doing with the classics. First they made a major shift from Chevre Leather to the Agnea Leather (from goatskin to lambskin). Then, in each season the leather thickness varies.

And now that Alexander Wang is in charge, these classic accessories have been crafted with different materials. Remember the Balenciaga Nylon Bag Collection from last week?

Yes, your eyes were not lying, you saw the Balenciaga Classic City Bag in Nylon. Maybe, just maybe it’s a good thing too. At least you can now carry your City Bag in the rain, as Nylon is rain resistance anyway (In hope for this version).

Now, let me shock you once more, the Balenciaga Classic Bags in Suede (are your eye brows lifting yet?) as never seen before. Meet the new Giant 12 Mini City Bag, the Classic Mini City Bag, in Papier A4 Tote, in Classic Part-time Tote, all in suede. It’s a brand-new experience, a complete new feel.

Now, let’s do a quick comparison. How much for the Classic City Bag in Leather and how much in suede?

Balenciaga Classic Mini City Bag in Lambskin: $1325 USD
Balenciaga Classic Mini City in Suede: $1395 USD

Not really a major difference.

How about the Classic Part-time in Leather and Suede?

Balenciaga Classic Part-time Bag in Lambskin: $1875 USD
Balenciaga Classic Part-time Bag in Suede: $1595 USD

Now that’s what I call, a steal =D.
