Fill in the blank: The Balenciaga Papier Cannage Imprime Totes are….

I’m a noted Balenciaga fangirl and would gladly carry either of the woven, multicolored Balenciaga Papier Cannage Imprime Totes, although the lighter of the two is my favorite. I have a feeling that this is going to be a controversial bag for some of our readers, though, which makes it all the more fun for a rousing game of Fill in the Blank. You guys know how this works by now – have at it in the comments.

Buy through Barneys for $2750 here and here.

Too much for paper! Where’s the smooshy leather?!

  It’s not paper! That’s just the name that they gave to this tote shape. I believe that this particular bag is woven leather and silk.
Amy

Is….not my style.
Sue

…lookin’ like those woven potholders I made as a kid!

Style isn’t that classy and elegant for that price.

  Agreed, roger that!

At first glance, not too bad. I would in no way, shape, or form pay that much for a tote though.

Not for me, it’s too busy, my eyes are tired just looking at it.

would be dope if it wasn’t for that zipper two stud thingy in front

why are they clinging to that like a life saver? works perfectly on their moto city bags but not everything,

Maggie

Way to expensive.
Kat

Again, like the McQueen clutch, I’m surprised that I like this. But I agree that it’s too expensive for what it is.

KaylaNiche

GORGEOUS! I love these. I just cannot understand why designers make their bags so expensive-ridiculous.
KellyX

No way. Overpriced n nowhere impressive
Amy A

There is nothing that says to me, yeah sure! for the price tag ,.. esp for Leather and silk absolutely not, maintenance to keep the bag in good condition would be difficult. Basically,… no no no.

looking like they were made from strips of magazine, and I love that! The darker is my favorite.
Lulugurl

Over priced, but I still want one!!!
Jacki

cute…. but way overpriced!
Mochababe73

colorful but not functional. The handles look inadequate for the bag and not spaced wide enough.
Definitely overpriced, but I guess the silk and workmanship account for the cost.
Staci

Cute! I actually love it!
Max

i get the hard work they tried to woven the bag but the materials arent worth that much fo 2700 i expect to be woven leather (BV maxi hobo is even cheaper) not this silky and hardly seen leather lol but if i have $$$$ to spend i would buy it though just to look at it and say Hellll It’s so ugly but nice woven lol
sohoaccessories

Looks like it is made of chewing gum wrappers..lol..not for me !
Vasudha

Cece

Decor Girl

Waaaaaayyy too much. This isn’t great design, but a great green craft project.
Ravienna

dalex

Unfortunate and overpriced.
Rebecca

Looks like those mosaic posters. I keep waiting for them to form images.
babe

Raphaela

greenpokadots

A crime, considering they could feed a family in Africa for about 6 years. How ridiculous.
