Balenciaga Handbags Collection. Paris Fashion Week.Spring-Summer 2011

Balenciaga


Balenciaga is the worldwide recognized fashion house founded by Cristobal Balenciaga, and now run by Nicolas Ghesquiere. The house’s founder was known for innovation; Ghesquiere promotes that tradition by compatibly pushing the envelope and not following any rules or standards. He combines the rich legacy of Balenciaga with futuristic elements. Regaining the former prominence of Balenciaga, Ghesquière was commended as one the most prestigious designers of his generation. Each season Ghesquiere continues to delight and surprise by exploring new territories while showing off his adept couture skills—and keeping true to the heritage of Balenciaga. Balenciaga sent their spring and summer 2011 collection down the runway in September during Paris Fashion Week.

Balenciaga has not introduced any new handbag styles for spring and summer 2011, rather, they have stayed loyal to the handbag styles Balenciaga fans have come to love and covet every season. Balenciaga will offer their handbag collection in Noir, Anthracite, Vieux Rose, Grenadine, Mimosa, Ardoise, Praline, Militaire and Nuage. The Militaire color is a military green which fits into fall’s military trend which has been carried into spring by designers in New York. Noir, Anthracite and Praline are classic and neutral colors which can easily fit into any of the color palettes designers have been showing for their ready to wear collections in New York, Milan, London and P

Balenciaga handbags feature is a detachable shoulder strap and can be worn as either a top handle tote or shoulder bag. Balenciaga handbags also feature interior and exterior zipper pockets and come complete with a matching mirror that can be attached to the handbag on either the zipper pulls or strap hardware. Balenciaga handbags are made from soft leather, which fits perfectly into spring’s soft leather trend; as well as maintaining “classic handbag status.”

So, Balenciaga handbags are the inevitable attraction for so many ladies. The Balenciaga handbags are stylish, up to date, and handle all the essentials they need with comfort and panache. Consequently, it’s a must-have of the spring season 2011.

Balenciaga Shoulder Bag

Balenciaga Shoulder Bag

Balenciaga is well known for creating avant-garde bags, their designs are always on the cutting edge of fashion and as far as quality, their extraordinary craftsmanship is unsurpassed. This chic new Balenciaga shoulder bag is so refreshing and different. I love the interesting combination of both black and tan leather. The straps are comprised of buckles, a creative twist on the usual use of hardware. Available online exclusively from matchesfashion.com for $2,400.

Balenciaga Matelasse Bag

Balenciaga Matelasse bag

Ladies, let me introduce you all to my holy grail. This is the bag I long for, dream about, and would be willing to do just about anything to get my hands on. In fact, there were a few precious moments earlier this year when I picked her up and gazed longingly at every perfect inch of her, but, alas, Neiman Marcus does not accept Visa, and I was forced to sulk the rest of my shopping trip (PJ, you know I squealed like a little girl when I spotted her in a lonely corner of the ladies clothing dept.!). Imagine how happy I was to discover this unattainable beauty waiting for me on-line.

The Balenciaga Matelasse Bag (in white with silver hardware) is a true handbag masterpiece. Made from the most amazing quilted leather imaginable (pardon my embellished remarks), the ‘Matelasse’ features silver-tone studs, dual rolled leather handles with whipstitching detail, front zip pocket with tassel pull, zip top closure with tassel pull, attached leather-framed mirror, and lined interior with zip pocket. Measurements for this small model are a perfect 12.5 x 9 x 5.5. There are plenty of quilted handbags on the market, but trust me ladies, this design blows them out of the water.

This high-coveted style from the popular Balenciaga Motorcycle line is available on-line for $1989 via Styledrops (please be advised that this price is almost $300 above retail as the site’s headquarters are located in Italy). You can also contact Balenciaga NY by calling 212-206-0872 for pricing and availability.

Celebrity Style: Balenciaga Giant Work Bag

When it rains, it pours! I’m wondering if Balenciaga NY is pushing the Giant Hardware bags on celebrities this week. Here we have Fergie, looking fabulous I might add, carrying a Balenciaga Giant Work Bag in Nero (black). Of all the new GH bags being toted around as of late, Fergie’s Work is my favorite. The gold hardware compliments the dark leather beautifully. The result is rocker chic with a sophisticated twist. I think the GH is finally winning me over. Available through Balenciaga NY (212-206-0872) with a price tag
just shy of $1800.

Celebrity Style: Balenciaga Giant City Bag

I know we’ve already seen pics of a celebrity toting a Balenciaga Giant Hardware Bag, and I’ve already mentioned it here. It doesn’t matter, ladies. You can never get enough Balenciaga (or is that just me)? Just take a look at the fabulous, outrageous, and supreme supermodel Janice Dickinson (can you tell I adore her)?

Janice is being her usual over-the-top self, so the gorgeous Balenciaga Giant City Bag in Vert Gazon (grass green) sitting next to her on the floor almost slipped my radar. Unlike Katie Holmes’ Day style I featured yesterday, Ms. Dickinson has chosen the exact same stunning color in the quintessential City style. If you don’t own a bbag, you should definitely start with a City. As with the Day style, this stunning bag also comes with regular hardware. Available via Balenciaga NY (212-206-0872).
