I think I may have found my fall indulgence. I was shopping at Balenciaga the other day and stumbled upon this brand new travel bag that had just arrived in stores. It caught my eye because not only do I love Balenciaga’s metal grommets, but I have a particular affinity for rectangular-shaped luggage (can’t explain it, I’m weird). This bag reminds me of a modern take on old-school, classic luggage from decades past: it’s utilitarian to a T, offers the versatility of both a long strap as well as double handheld handles and is finished in the most gorgeous combination of brown leather and tan suede. It’s clearly roomy enough to fit a long weekend’s worth of clothing and accessories (and then some), and I appreciate the soft-sided nature of the bag–although I secretly prefer a more structured aesthetic for day bags.
$2,595, available at Balenciaga NYC 212-206-0872
Well this is certainly a better alternative to the rectangular all leather travel bags from LV shown on their runway. Sorry LV, I will not pay 4k+ for one your SMALL travel bags.
