Balenciaga

Balenciaga is an extremely well known fashion house found by Cristobal Balenciaga. He was a Spanish fashion designer born in the Basque Country in Spain. He had a reputation of having compromising standards and was referred to as "the master of us all" by Christian Dior. 


Today Balenciaga has changed hands a few times and is now owned by the Gucci Group. They are mostly famous for their motorcycle style bags, which is truthfully some of my favorite bags ever created. And if I had $1500+ to spend on a bag I would definitely be heading to www.balenciaga.com to review my choices. Most of their bags of made of top quality lambskin, and metal hardware, with the classic top handles. You can easily tell a balenciaga bag from any other because the front of the bag always looks mostly the same, with a front zipper, and two distinct metal studs. If you've never looked at Balenciaga before I would look now, especially if you are interested in purchasing a top quality, classic bag that will last you forever. Am I planning on spending that much on one of their bags? Probably not, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the view. Here are a few of my favorite colors and styles.
