Balmain Bag

[leyla m.]

As most of you probably know Balmain, french design house has made a comeback and it is introducing accessories for SS/07.
Absolutely exclusive, it only has ONE bag designed for this collection... and i met the CEO, he said this is it!!

I have already ordered one for myself !
The leather is gorgeous and i love it being so super understated
Thought i would share as a preview before you spot it on the likes of Kate Moss et al.​

Thanks leyla - you're the best It looks great, my only concern - does it make a jangly noise when you walk from all the little metal bits hitting each other?

 

[leyla m.]

meg,
you're welcome.
it didnt make a noise in the showroom as far as i can remember..
honestly i can tell you now that you should get this bag.. it is THE bag!

 

[Meg]

hehehe - what is the price piont of it? Who are the retailers going to be in the UK? I assume Harrods and Harvey Nichols and selfridges?

 

[leyla m.]

Meg,

i am not sure..i know though that the retailers will be extremely limited and right now i doubt that those stores will carry it.. maybe a retail store who will carry the Balmain clothes as well?

 

[Caffeine]

wow Leyla, that's wonderful! I'll be searching for THE bag in the States!

 

[Meg]

but surely Harvey Nic's or Harrods would carry the clothes (Selfridges no, you are probably right). what is the shape like? Do you carry it on your shoulder? Your arm? I can't tell from the pics...

 

[leyla m.]

it is a messenger!
love love love it !

 

[Meg]

ah great, it looked like one but then i thought 'no it can't be' that makes it SO much better

 

[luckyme]

that's a very nice bag. is it black? I wonder who in the US would carry it, Barney's?

 

[Diorling]

A messenger as thier first comeback bag? Very daring.

Im liking it so far, Im sure Barneys will carry it, Simon Doonan is always looking for something new, and thankfully, this is much better than House of Holland and lord knows what else they're picking up for Spring.

I'm actually quite relieved that this bag is not appealing to me at all, more money in my pocket

thanks for sharing leyla!

oooooh! i like it a lot! it's very chic! reminds me of a cross between rocker/hippie chic, kina like road warriors...but could be worn anytime. great find! let us know prices and places to buy if you find them out!

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

Huh?...this thing? It looks like something you find at a hunter's shop or some native American craft store...

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

not much of a fan
it looks a bit like something you'd see in one of those old western movies...

a bag to cure my balenciaga addiction? i think so!

as a man im soo happy it's a messenger

reminds me of a givenchy messenger i wanted a while back, cant wait for more pics and info!

This looks great for school!! I've been looking for a black bag since forever.

I just wanted to ask if it was heavy by itself. I once carried my Mulberry Roxanne to school and that was a nightmare.

 

[leyla m.]

forget the *Roxanne. Ive got it too and it is way too heavy for anything.

This is super light leather

^Thanks for the quick reply. I'm offically in love with it! Thanks for sharing!

 

[leyla m.]

i am in love too
