Which Balenciaga Handbag is Right for You?

Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga, who at one point was dubbed “master of us all” by Christian Dior himself, began a tradition of innovative silhouettes and modern yet feminine designs that were ahead of its time. Today, all of that creative heritage is still represented through the luxury house’s handbags.

Check out our mini profiles of Balenciaga handbags and see which one is right for you.

City Bag

This little beauty, called the “City,” is the best of both worlds: it’s a soft leather bag with a design simple enough for refined tastes, yet has an edgy appeal because of the six studs on each side. It’s essentially the French house’s “it” bag, created by former Balenciaga creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere. With your black City bag, be a sleek city chick wearing a printed mini skirt, a gray shirt and mustard-hued biker jacket.

Zip Around Tote

This bag can best be described as unfolding origami. It’s named for the zippers that reveal gussets on each side when opened. The Zip Around is perfect for anyone who appreciates clothing and accessories with a distinctive shape, something the maison is known for. Steal the limelight as you head out with your Balenciaga tote, an oversized blouse tucked halfway into cropped leather pants and slingback pumps.  

Le Dix Cartable

This ladylike beauty is part of a collection named after Balenciaga’s flagship store at 10th Avenue George V in Paris. It has a more mature and vintage feel than its City counterpart, with nothing but a top handle and luggage tag adorning its calfskin surface. Take a style journey back in time with your Le Dix bag, a denim jumpsuit, red scarf wrapped around your hair and wayfarer shades.
