It took a bit of time for the giant hardware to grow on me, when it debuted a few seasons ago. Since then, I, and many other women around the globe, have converted into giant hardware lovers. There’s just something about the large metal pieces that resemble thimbles that add just the perfect amount of ooh and ahh to the Balenciaga motorcycle bags that we already know and love. And I’m guessing Nikki Hilton feels the same way. This isn’t ...
Balenciaga Handbags
OK, I know heiress Reena Hammer isn’t crazy famous yet, but her boyfriend is. Jonathan Rhys Meyer is on the hit series, The Tudors, and more than that, his girlfriend has great taste in handbags. While her look could use some severe work, we all know that a hot purse spices up any look, and it’s done a world of good for her. The Balenciaga brief bag is one of the not-quite-as-common Balenciaga handbag styles. While the standard hardware looks ...
Garden-variety florals are now a thing of the past, thanks to the latest crop of Balenciaga purses. Designer Nicolas Ghesquiere has essentially reinvented several of the fashion house’s most popular bags, breathing new life into designs usually more synonymous with motorcycle chic than prim and proper elegance. The Giant Weekender, for example, is now a breath of fresh air with its purple watercolor-printed cotton and dark green leather trim. It’s unusual and may even be a bit too fuddy-duddy ...
Gwyneth Paltrow’s apparently had a bad week with her scary hospital visit. Still, that didn’t stop her from putting on a brave face and stepping out with an incredibly chic Balenciaga Moon bag with black trim. (Hey, if a fierce Balenciaga purse can’t put you on the road to good health, what can? Kidding!) Gwyneth has always been the picture of fabulous, unfussy style, and this sophisticated, rich leather handbag is a perfect match - it’s trendy but classic-looking, ...
Here’s something to hold you “Sex and the City” fans over until the SITC movie hits the big screen: Sarah Jessica Parker rocking a very cool urban-chic look and one to-die-for Balenciaga Mini Matelasse Purse in quilted black leather. Some might see this look as a little messy, but I think our girl SJP looks fab - the turquoise Louboutins, leopard-print scarf, Balenciaga handbag, and bold blue top present a hip hodgepodge of city style. Can’t wait ...
While I appreciate that Balenciaga remains true to form no matter what the situation, I think it might be time to put a stop to this look. How many times can it possibly be reinvented? In the case of the Giant Sphere Handbag, it’s not so much a reinvention of style as it is of shape. Resembling a bowling bag, its rotund leather body is decorated with the customary gold studs that make Balenciaga’s bags so recognizable for miles. ...
Ooh, this is not a flattering photo of Lindsay Lohan. But while she tries to redeem her scruffy hat, baggy cardigan, and splotchy face with a fancy Balenciaga Motorcycle purse, I’m just not feeling the black and white stripes. The too-funky prison-chic stripes (something you’d think LiLo would want to, ahem, avoid right now) undermine the handbag’s sophisticated yet edgy appeal. She should trade it in for a solid version, like black or Christina Aguilera’s red Balenciaga. Photo ...
What’s black, white, and red all over? Miss Christina Aguilera, who’s quickly becoming the celebrity world’s leading hot mama to be (sorry, Nicole Richie). I love how Xtina’s ruby-red Balenciaga purse adds fierceness to her funky black and white ensemble. Now baggy sweats and frumpy mumus for this lady. If only Balenciaga made diaper bags, she’d be all set. Photos from PopSugar.com.

If you’re looking for a different take on a messenger bag, consider this offering from Balenciaga. The Courier may not be one of the most memorable purses in the world, but it’s adored by fans of the iconic brand for its versatility and unfailing ability to turn heads. This isn’t a messenger bag, but it can easily be worn across the body and fits everything with ease. For anyone who tends to lug around more than is necessary (that ...
I have yet to go on a big-spending wallet spree, but one of these days a cute wallet just might tempt me. This Balenciaga Flap Close Chain Wallet won’t be what lures me in, though. I appreciate that Balenciaga has its signature style: Who can escape the line’s penchant for studs, tassels and the like? When every single piece starts to look like the last, though, things get a little bit boring. Its color is killer (and it doesn’t ...
It’s really no secret that Balenciaga has this tried-and-true formula they tend to stick to. Hey, I’d do the same if the likes of Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera were my biggest fans. When the brand does stray a bit, though, it’s usually off in a completely different direction. That’s not the case with the new Balenciaga 2 Tone Suede Satchel, which seems to borrow elements from the classic motorcycle bag and pair them with ...
Similar to having ice cream for lunch and chocolate for every snack of the day, there’s something recklessly indulgent about a heinously expensive bag covered in Swarovski crystals. You know you don’t really need it - yet you want it anyway. That’s sort of the case with this new Balenciaga Crystal Swarovski Evening Bag. It’s over-the-top shiny (trust me: you need to see this in person to really experience it in all its blinding glory), positively doused in crystals ...
I love seeing something different from Balenciaga. The Metal Front Tote is a pretty adventurous endeavor for the brand known, at least lately, for its motorcycle bags and similar siblings. This roomy carryall features two large front pockets separated by a strip of metal plates running the length of the bag’s center. It’s an interesting take on the basic black tote - the simple silver hardware gives the purse an edge, and the unusual cut of the opening lends ...
Sometimes one great bag just isn’t enough (actually, one is never enough). But carrying two at the same time? Overkill. Charlize Theron has a decent excuse, though, since she’s trekking through the airport and both purses - a giant Balenciaga bag and a Dior Plisse Basket Tote - seem just about filled to capacity. There’s no rhyme or reason to this thrown-together ensemble, but she still manages to pull it off with typical Charlize flair. I love the ...
