Balenciaga Giant Part Time

Balenciaga Giant Part Time

When Balenciaga introduced giant hardware on their already hit handbags, the accessory world was split. I specifically remember many not being fond of the large chunky hardware. The thing is, I always loved it, it fit my style perfectly. One of many top handle purses from the house, the Balenciaga Giant Part Time implements soft vintage crafted lambskin to give the perfect supple slouch that Balenciaga has become known for. The funny thing is, I am in no way a Balenciaga expert. You know who is? A huge group of BBag lovers on Purse Forum! This group can know the difference between a BBag because of the leather (some seasons has softer leather that people yearn to hunt down), color, and hardware. I just look and know what it is that I like. The Giant Part Time in pink bubblegum is a perfect mix of feminine colors with gold plated oversized metal hardware. There is a removable shoulder strap which helps with ease of carrying. Dimensions are 16.5'' x 5.9'' x 9.1''. There are quite a few colors offered, but the girly side of me has always loved Balenciaga Pink Bubblegum. Buy through Balenciaga online for $1,645.

That color just makes me happy, how pretty that pink is!

I don't think I could pull off that pink, but the bag is gorgeous! I really like the chunky hardware.

I love this color, gorgeous bag.

I think I like it. I definitely love the pink color and the size and shape. I'm debating on whether or not I like the gold hardware.

Gorgeous bag. The gold hardware makes the pink pop.

I love the part-time.

I just got one in Black with GGH, I dont really know what year it is, but it has really nice leather, cant wait till it gets softer. I'll be posting modeling pics up soon under one of my posts on the Bal forum. Its a great bag, I was a bit sceptical about it at first, because of its height, but theres other things that make up for it. Very nice bag.

gorgeous perfection! I just love Balenciaga! I think the Pink and the Gold match well in a springtime girly sorta way! I love it! Althought I dont have a Part Time (yet) I've been pining over one, constantly going back and forth in my mind....a Part time? A Work? A Part TIme? A Work? In the end I feel the only answer is simple....I'll have to get both!

I like the color but not with the gold hardware.

tatertot · Jun 13th, 2008, 09:59 PM

I am in love with my new turquoise giant silver hardware part-time from the same season. It is the perfect size and is just the right mix of tough and sexy IMO.

emxowm · Jun 15th, 2008, 11:10 PM

The part-time is the perfect size! Love the color combo!
