balenciaga giant city
Balenciaga Giant City

They say when away the mice will play. That was quite true during my last trip; as I traveled around Spain, Vlad broke into my closet and attempted to photograph my entire bag collection. He got most pieces, but did not find them all :wink:. One thing quite a few of you noticed is my lack of a Balenciaga bag. Truth be told, I do not have one stashed anywhere, I simply do not have one. I do not have a BBag because I have spent years literally racking my brain trying to figure out which color on which style I want. Bubblegum has always looked delicious or what about the baby blue all the celebs carry. So many choices. On our next trip to NYC I plan on purchasing my first Balenciaga bag. Typically it is nearly impossible to find BBags online, but not anymore. Balenciaga has opened up their website to online shopping for the US only! This means more learning about their bags and being able to indulge online, which I am all for. And Balenciaga does not do anything small, as they have designed an exclusive online, the Balenciaga Giant City with Coquelicot Japonais print. I fell for the Balenciaga Giant Seau bag with the floral print when I first saw it, and now this exclusive has my heart. The colors are perfect for fall and winter! There is lambskin offsetting the printed textile and palladium plated metal hardware. Enjoy what Balenciaga has done, opening up online sales through their site! Buy this bag exclusively through Balenciaga online for $1595.

It's simply beautiful and I love the outline in the black leather.

Balenciaga available online? How totally dangerous!

I really love this bag. I think the colors in the print are just fab. Good choice Megs!

Thanks for sharing the good news too!

I love the same design in the brief! Finally they have an online shopping site. If only they shipped to Canada...

^ I agree I think the Giant Brief looks better with the pattern.

I dislike that floral bal less than some of the other ones. Give me the all leather.

Woo-Hoo~ That's so awesome that Bal is finally doing on-line sales!

I think these floral bags are very pretty, though it cuts down on the best part of the bag....the leather~!
