I was initially interested only because this looks nothing like the motorcycle bag, not that there is anything wrong with the motorcycle it’s just that Balenciaga has done nothing new in 10 years. When I go in to my neighborhood noodle shop and half the women there has that bag or a close approximation of it, I’m gonna be turned off. But after looking at it for a couple of days, I have come to really love it. Not just because this is new for Balenciaga and I’m excited to see something new, this bag does stand on its own merit. Those giant outer pockets are the bomb! OK, so the straps are not at all original but who cares, it totally works here. Thank you for the shoulder pads because I just don’t have it in me anymore to suffer for fashion. There is a total rocker vibe here that fits into a non-musical lifestyle. The exaggerated proportions, that’s what does it here. Love! At Barneys New York for $2495.
