here is the description of how celebs got their free Balenciaga bags.

The first point of note is that in its second life, Balenciaga is a ready-to-wear label only — under its inventor it produced just haute couture (the return of which Ghesquière does not rule out). One of his important moves early on was to create a bag: “The factories in Spain were making things with leather anyway, so why not a bag?”. That bag became the Lariat, which by now wholly deserves to be described as classic yet is still cool enough to spawn endless copies, and still resplendently responsible for waiting lists everywhere, despite the many desirable bags in the world now.

In the beginning, though, the Lariat did not hit the spot. “Nobody was quite sure about it. Even I was not quite sure about it. It was sitting on shelves in shops everywhere, not moving at all for two years.” Then Ghesquière had a flash: why not send it as a gift to precisely the kind of women he wanted to wear his designs? He made a list of 30 names, among whom were Kate Moss and the editor of French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld, and 30 bags were dispatched in time for the New York shows. Wear them they did, and by the time the Paris shows rolled around four weeks later the bag was a hit. And, of course, very soon there were none left on the shelves; Moss still happily totes hers around town.

God, I wish she would cut her hair short again. She looks a lot classier with short hair. Kate has a stunning face, the short hair highlighted that. I really don't like her hair now. She puts it in a ponytail half of the time anyway. Just cut it.

^^Her Balenciaga bags (both the small first and the Flat Brass Hobo) are so RARE now that they go for tons of money if a collector ever decides to part with one.

 

[bella vita]

joshsimona that's the exact same one I've always wanted too!

I haven't heard that before beauxgoris. Its quite disappointing because I was finally going to purchase either a classic quilted black Chanel or a medium sized black first lariat with the flat brass studs (I'm just not a fan of the giant studs). Basically I've been wanting the exact same one Nicole Richie is still always toting around, do you know if that one is just as rare now as both of Kate's bags? I was hoping I would just be able to order one from the Balenciaga store.

 

[joshsimona]

yes, i' m glad..i'm just not glad that we still don't have it

^^You can still get that one in any Balenciaga store. It's with regular hardware though - not flat brass. The flat brass bags that Kate has were only made in 2001 and 2002. Now the studs are raised, tho still brass.

N.R. has a black "city bag" with regular hardware. I think it sells for $1395. new now.

Im pretty sure it was a photoshoot for rolling stone magazine.

 

[nita-karoliina]

i love those david bowie pictures. i used to have one of them as my avatar

 

[*ana*]

i'm very far from being a fan of ellen von unwerth but i like that photoshoot too, not only because it's bowie and kate, which is enough to make it remarkable, but especially because of its cheesiness and kate's p*rn star-ish expressions. i love the shot in which she's naked holding him, the second one in b&w and, obviously, the "blow-up" one.
