Well this is an unexpected design from Balenciaga. I am so accustomed to seeing their motorcycle bags that seeing a suede open tote with alphabet embellishments takes me completely off guard. There is black, white, and beige versions available of the Balenciaga Alphabet Tote. Buy via Barneys for $1,795.
Fill in the blank in the comments section below: The Balenciaga Alphabet Tote is ___________.
gaudy
so 80s
a bit twee!
Not for me
too expensive!
Upscale Dooney & Bourke
A disgrace to maestro balencigas Legacy !!!!!!
stunning in person
No comment.
their answer to increasing profit margins should people be foolish enough to buy them at said 1795$
the end of someone’s career. Honestly, I look at it closer on screen, and farther away on screen, and it’s almost hypnotically ugly…how did someone a) draw the design, b) go through with making a prototype, c) decide that the prototype was a good idea, and d) decide to sell it for that much money?
ridiculous!
So Elementary!!!
what I mean by “the end of someone’s career” is that I’m reminded of Elizabethtown (I love that movie, I’m sorry), and how the main character designs a shoe, and everyone goes along with it, and the shoe ends up being a huge failure that nearly puts the company into ruin…okay, so with this price tag they sure aren’t going to lose money, but perhaps someone high up in Balenciaga will go to Saks, reality will hit them in the face, and things will right themselves.
‘Makes me wonder who their target market is for this bag (??)
Not a good one.
entering the tacky realms of stephen sprouse louis vuitton YUCKSTERS X A MILLION
dispensable.
for the illiterate? I am normally a huge balenciaga fan, seriously love their motorcycle bags but wtf? These bags are uncalled for!
SHOCKING. Are they taking advantage of their widespread following to create this piece of junk?
a good diaper bag..
abominable
Overpriced!
FUGLY…are they crazy with that price tag?
Tacky and over price, Motorbike bag is still the best from all Balenciaga Bag.
not my cup of tea. I own a few balenciaga bags, they are my ‘go to’ bag, but this tote is such not impressive… and with that price tag? so disappointed…
… taking the 80s too literally and too expensive.
silly. Why make a suede utility tote, and why put letters all over it like a kindergardener’s school bag? This is completely un-Bal.
It’s “there ARE” black, white, and beige versionS…
I don’t see any uniqueness compare with the price. Definitely not my cup of tea.
not worth the money.
Desperate for the wrong kind of attention
tacky and overpriced!
a beach tote and a risky move to design in suede (the care of suede is high maintenance, and I certainly wouldn’t purchase a large beach tote bag in suede).
EWW!
If you’re looking for the cure for your Balenciaga obsession, Megs, that should do it! WJW
SMH!
want these bags at much lower price. check http://www.factoryonlineshop.com

… easy prey for cheap rip-offs at that price. Expect to see it on the sidewalks of Rome…
Easy to be copied
Hideous. Nuff said
love it 😉

very ugly and not worth the price.
Fugly BIG TIME! and I’m a graphic designer.
more like $700 and even that is pushing it, even for Balenciaga SMH
shockingly hideous
Wrong.
juvenile
so not Balenciaga!
dissapointment. seen it in Balshop yesterday and all new bags look cheap with boutique price. My classic ‘day’ is still the best & value for money!
for beach maybe, really not crazy about this look.
overdone and overpriced
too expensive, cheap and a crime made by Ghesquiere: this is how to destroy the reputation of the most appreciated bags brand!

a shame.
Completely not worth the money.
way dodgier, pricier and cheaper in look than my United Colors of Benetton bag I used in my school days 10 years ago…MAJOR FAIL!
…looking like a ransom note!
cute. I’m a teacher and would use it to carry my teacher “stuff”. However, I would never use it as an everyday bag and wouldn’t pay no more than $30-40 for it.
Pack it up for the summer and bring it back out in August.
I think its to expensive and maybe good for a teenager
Cute but overpriced!
so not balenciaga …
shiteous!
i would rather buy a giant city for that price!
Its uggly. Who would pay that much for a beach looking bag?!
A

unforgettable, but not in a good way.
Not something anyone should buy.

Not for me !!!
not worth the price tag, AT ALL. id rather get a new/used leather BBag for that much

a complete and total purse fail.
Really fun if it were a $30 canvas bag. A this price, it’s ridiculous.
But I do love the print.

Ugly!
DREADFUL ! !
…the same price as 86 LL Bean Totes, and a million times uglier.
WAAAAAAY TOO MUCH! BOTH WITH STYLE, AND PRICE! LOOKS LIKE A MAGAZINE CLIPPING COLLAGE THAT RECEIVED AN F- !!!
overpriced
this must be a joke.
so un-balenciaga like! trying to hard to catch a younger crowd ?
Few watch aficionados realize that the Japanese brand seiko watch has a history as old as many of its Swiss rivals. Founded in the 1880s, the company began manufacturing wrist seiko watches after World War I and quickly became an innovative leader, developing one of the world’s first seiko automatic and seiko chronograph. But perhaps Seiko’s greatest achievement came about in its race with the American brand Bulova to harness new technology, leading to the quartz watch, which revolutionized the industry and nearly drove the Swiss out of business.
More innovations followed, including the first computer wristwatch, in 1984, and the first nonbattery seiko kinetic watch. To this list we can now add another groundbreaker: the Seiko Spring Drive mechanical movement, which is accurate to one second per day, making it approximately three times more precise than the average mechanical watch. The Spring Drive also provides an enduring seventy-two hours of power reserve (most watches offer about forty) and winds 30 percent faster than a conventional movement.
According to seiko uk, twenty-eight years of work went into developing this movement, and only five of the company’s hundreds of watchmakers possess the requisite skills to assemble it. Regardless of its technological history, the seiko 5 is a skillfully designed watch, with graceful hands and interesting use of off-center dials.
