Another place that Balenciaga was ahead of the handbag curve? Prints. They’re commonplace now, but when the Balenciaga Floral City Bag came out in 2008, it seemed untenably bold. The bags didn’t sell all that well back then, but that’s the curse of being able to see the future like Ghesquiere apparently can. He was ready for it before we caught up.

    Is the Day bag comfortable on your shoulder? I’ve often thought about getting one but whenever I try it on in stores the strap seems like it might dig in a little because the leather can be stiff….

      I have a Day in lavande with GSH as well and it is TDF. It doesn’t hurt my shoulder and I have quite a bit in it. It does feel stiff but it’s not a problem. Awesome bag.

    I go back and forth on whether I want a Day bag but this picture may have decided for me. The color is to die for!

    Why are their bags not as directional or cool as their clothes??! Anyone?? I wouldn’t be caught dead carrying one of these!
