Balenciaga embraces brights for Spring 2011

Balenciaga Multicolor Tote

Since Balenciaga doesn’t often show handbags on its Paris runway, getting a look at what Nicolas Ghesquiere has cooked up for an approaching season can be a little tricky. From the few pictures I’ve seen, Balenciaga Spring 2011 will feature brightly colored straw motorcycle bags similar to those from Spring 2010, but the addition of this colorblocked shopper is a bit more unexpected.

Spring 2011 prices have yet to be released, so if you’re a Balenciaga lover, what price would you want to see in order to be interested in this bag?

Ooo no no no it’s like Warhol crashed with the fresh prince of bel air not loving it .

I quite like it, actually! 😀

Anything over $400 (which I’m sure it will be!) would be too much to pay, though, IMO.

if it turns out to be over 400$ then I’m sticking to Longchamp

Wow tops $300 for that thing. I would buy a pair shoes or a pair of Chanel earrings for that price.

Is this a post-Halloween joke? Balenciaga in Lacoste costume?

gacats

Yukkers. This is a fail.

no it looks like a long champ bag that’s been marked to death with a highlighters. Would not buy ever!

somethingbags

wrong move for balenciaga. they should just stick with their classic leather silhouettes. this is just trying to join in the shopper/tote bandwagon.

Aarponen

AWFUL!

Phelsuma

Seriously?! No way!!!

Cute, but I can’t help thinking that it should be located in our local Lacoste store. Also, it’s impractical to carry a bag that large in your hand. It really needs a longer strap.
I would say that although it looks like a Coach, it will probably be priced higher. Since a canvas Coach comes in at around $200, give or take, this one will more than likely be in the $500 range.

Not so bad, i’ll pay $ 200

babe

Not for me.

Jelita78

aiyaaa caramba..
looks like an accident just happened at the bal bag factory..
absolutely a flop in choice of colours.. (ipad)

Julia

i’ve always liked it when tote straps don’t rise vertically from the base of the bag to the handle, but at an angle, so if this came in other colors, it would probably end up on my wishlist! (ipad)

Elizabeth

fun colours, but not for the price. (ipad)

Jen

I like the idea of bright but these colors… Eh… (ipad)

helen

Okay. (ipad)

Sherry

🙂 (ipad)

Sherry

Sherry

but not together (ipad)

Sherry

maybe next time (ipad)

Bal bags are supposed to be premier designed. whoever designed the spring collection should be terminated for ruining their reputation with cheap looking bags. Pls stick to classic leather designs!I’ll rather get a Kipling or le sport sac for something similar with better price!
