Charlotte! said:I think this bag is very pretty...I don't know anything about Balenciaga & can't see them in person...
Can this be carried over the shouler? Is it still being made? I love big bags, what are the approx. measurements?
Thanks!
The Weekender can be carried on the shoulder PROVIDED you don't have a bulky coat/sweater, etc. on! However, it's really meant to be carried on the lower arm (or by hand). It is the biggest (with the exception of the new 2006 Courier style) of the Balenciaga bags at:
15"(height) x 21"(width) x 9"(depth)
There is NO strap (if you see a picture with one that it is most assuredly a FAKE!).
There is also a Men's Weekender which has a longer handle (16"), but no Mirror.
These bags are still being made ...
BTW: The new Courier is even bigger than the Weekender, and the fact that it has a shoulder strap - in my opinion, even better for traveling. When talking with the Balenciaga-NYC folks last week, they informed me that Balenciaga is coming out with an even BIGGER Courier come fall!
