New Balenciaga Bag - Le Cagole

[Amortentia]

So I was in Selfridges the other day minding my own business, when this bag caught my eye. I did a double take, and then had a mini meltdown. HELLO OLD SCHOOL BALENCIAGA!! This bag is like an eclectic mash-up of the Day, Hip and Town. I really miss their moto style handbags, and will consider adding this to my collection at some point. It comes in four sizes (apparently), pictured below is the small.

It would be fabulous if it was available in Gold or Rose Gold hardware.

Thoughts?

While it's good to see some elements of the original moto bags it's a little busy for me personally. I'd love to see some sort of larger hobo...

I think it’s cool. Was the leather soft or stiff?

The Grey and Silver versions were quite stiff. Black, Pink and White were soft.

I first saw this bag in a video by Cassie Thorpe:




She talks about it with her friend (on and off) from 2:55-4:36 and they also try it on. Some slightly harsh opinions on it. I think they were at Selfridges too.

I think it has that Barbie rock 'n' roll y2k vibe. I wouldn't like it on myself but could imagine someone else pulling it off!

Wow, is this a new design? Anyone know the style name ?

I saw this video afterwards too, and I laughed @ the Claire’s Accessories comparison. I think it’s rather edgy and timeless in Black. The other colours however..

Yes, it’s called Le Cagole

I found this definition and it fits. Cheeky Demna.

Whatever the truth may be, the 'Cagole' is all about being 'too much': too much make-up, too much bling, too much voice, too much perfume, too much chest hanging out, too much jewellery, too much improbable clothing, too much drama, too much gesticulating – in short, too much of everything… The 'Cagole' speaks loudly, she is vulgar, you can see her coming a mile off, she is provocative and she manages to turn an expensive, classy object into a pig's ear (e.g. the Vuitton bag, Dior glasses, Chanel and Louboutin shoes). In fact, the 'Cagole' is someone to be reckoned with – and we adore her!

I think I might like that. I'd have to see it in person, but I'm definitely intrigued.

I remember this from the Fall 2021 show photos @Monz1987 shared! I kinda love that it is over-the-top. Would it be an everyday bag for me? Maybe not, but I think it's very edgy and unlike many other bags out at the moment.

I'm definitely interested.

I saw this bag in person and just about fell over! Was returning a Neo Classic because the leather was a little too stiff, and I didn’t like the placement of the D-rings for the crossbody straps. This little beauty gave me a fresh breath of nostalgia and came home with me right away! I’ll post pics soon!

Definitely - can't wait to see pics @Violet Bleu

Interesting placement of the interior ID tag on the Small, almost incorporated into the leather piece that surrounds the zippered pocket...Something new for our authenticators to learn!
