Introducing Balenciaga Metallic Edge Bags
Categories:Other Brands
Balenciaga released its metal-edged bags a couple of seasons ago, and yesterday, I found myself taking a look at all of the versions on Balenciaga's website. When I came back to PurseBlog to see if we've shared these bags with you, and realized we haven't. So here I am; it's past time that we discussed this slightly updated version of the classic.
Balenciaga has never hit as big as it did with the Motorcycle bags, and I feel like it's fairly safe to say it never will again. The Motorcycle bags made such a massive impact on the handbag world, and it's not often that a design goes from cult favorite to It Bag to classic. There have been so many colors and versions over the years, and a lively resale market has sprung up for the most sought-after colors and leathers.
The metallic edge adds dimension and a little spunk to an already cool bag. There is both silver and gold edging available, and I love both equally for different reasons. I have a City bag right now, but I'm loving the Mini City and would love the additional style the metallic edge finishes adds. Balenciaga clearly knows a good thing when it has it, and adding this small update changes the bag and gives it a new edge.

A New Classic: Balenciaga Classic City Metallic Edge Bags
Categories:Other BrandsHere, take some tea and sit down. Comfy yet?
Now let’s talk about iconic things and bags…
We all know what Balenciaga did. The Le Dix Collection, Ha! I admit; it was a fresh thing and the collection was not bad, not too bad at all. But we just can’t deny where our heart belongs. It belongs in the deepest cave inside Balenciaga’s classic collection. Oh City bag, did you really think that Le Dix could replace you. Not yet, not yet.
Discontinued this and that (Let me refresh your memory; giant hardware 21 discontinued in 2011, I know it hurts, Ouch!), but finally Balenciaga added some new flavors to t heir classic city collection. Now presenting (the curtains start to open); the Balenciaga Metallic Edge Bags (standing ovation!). And they call it: ‘They New Classic’ and I am so liking it.
The Classic bbags have always been trending in fashion, they are simply… how should I call it: ‘beautiful and stylish’. A kind-of motorcycle style, tough and suitable for all women. The classic city bag is as popular as any timeless bag. But do you know what our weaknesses are for Balenciaga bags? It’s the colors, so many that we can’t choose; mango-orange, lemon-yellow, ocean-blue oh gosh, where do we start. But fortunately for us, no headache for the new Balenciaga Metallic Edge City bags, they only come in black and gold hardware. Yeah or Booh?
The Balenciaga Classic City Metallic Edge bag in medium is crafted from shiny grain goatskin, both impeccable quality and durable. The size is measured 9.4” x 14.8” x 5.5” with black cotton lining. And just like every classic city bag, the metallic edges are self-finish studs, including a leather tassel.
Not long ago, Balenciaga has introduced the mini version of the Classic ‘City’ Bag. It’s exactly the copy of, only it comes with a more comfortable shoulder strap. This size is measured at 6.2” x 9.0” x 3.5”, it’s also in black and shiny grain goatskin.
Let’s get to the prices; the medium size is priced at $2,050 USD, the mini classic city bag is priced at $1,485 USD / €1.045 EUR. So, now you’ve finished your tea, please tell me; ‘You Like?’
