2009 a/w balenciaga patchwork

Yup, I have to agree, it's not my cup of tea. If I wanted a patchwork bag, I would spend $100 on a Lucky Brand bag.

I think you are absolutely right. These colours are all gorgeous individually but not together on one bag. While the colours of the woven bags fit beautifully together these just does not. And then the zigzag stitching

It's such a shame, because if they'd used the same gorgeous summer colours, it would've looked pretty, summery and exquisite. I think that mandarine, blue layette, maldives, white, marine, with an injection of apple green would've been breathtaking I think it's a good idea, but badly executed.

If my mum ever buy this, and bring this home i'd slap her ... Hahahahahaha (kidding!)

I don't actually know why but I really "hate" this bag, it's funny because normally I LOVE everthing from balenciaga clothes, shoes, all bags and jewellery but this one just reminds me of cheap bags from the 80s,

I don't absolutely hate it, but it looks cheap IMO.

not my style. Like another post, maybe if they put various colors but from the same family might give it a totally different look.

Why does every handbag maker feel the need to do "patchwork"?

IMO, the only successful "patch" bags I've seen are Miu Miu Harlequin & patchwork bags...everyone else's are kind of Fugs.

It's not for me either. I don't like the pebbled type of leather they have used for the corners/handles and the base does look odd with the green. The most interesting thing I find is trying to figure out what the colours might be!

it's funny because in a similar thread they found the lucky patchwork bag that looks like this one:

it's too bad because i really like the style and i like the idea of having all the different colors in one bag. but the actual bag looks like something you would get at a fleamarket. in the 80s.

saw this irl and I just kinda went eh -- i did enjoy checking out the different bal colors

Reminds me of those tacky patchwork bags that are advertised in the back of cheap magazines to old ladies.

 

[muggles]

Exactly!^^

I think if I saw this IRL before reading this thread I would have said, "Look that poor girl is carrying a fake balenciaga..."

though it's still way better than the patchwork bag LV made, that was really the ugliest bag I ever saw. . . hope I don't hurt the feelings of anyone here. . .
