Balenciaga Day Bag
The Balenciaga Day bag is famous for being the choice of many celebrities around the globe. For example, Christina Aguilera was recently spotted using the Balenciaga Day bag, and shall I say, it looks splendid on her – witty jeans, together with an airy top-notch top and a cap match with her Day bag perfectly, and her outfit also describes the Balenciaga bag – a confident, almost bitchy looking bag. The shiny leather, together with a classical top make this bag a win-win – it’s both easy to fill with… stuff, and easy to open thanks to the leather straps attached to the zip.
The bag is one of the cheapest Balenciaga offers; it costs a little more than eight hundred at most. The bag is made from crafted lambskin and has all the usual B. bag has to offer – the usual aged brass hardware, top zip closure, hand stitched handles with ~9″, a front zip pocket, a leather framed hand mirror, fine textile lining which can be seen when you open the bag, and of course the Balenciaga tag, embossed in leather. The bag’s dimensions are 14.2″ x 14.2″ x 5.1″.
So much for the functionality; the design is just fab. The leather is shiny and awesome, but the stitches on the handles both feel and look great. As for the hardware, there’s not too much of it, but too much hardware has always been a problem of B.’s bags, at least some think so, so the lack of additional hardware is forgiven to B… just this once. The black bag is a little scary; the black variation of the Day Bag reminds us of the vintage black lady bags that were so popular in the end nineties. The charcoal gray and maldives suit the Day Bag the most, but if you want something extraordinary, you can take a look at the Storm/Mandarin variations of this shoulder bag. The bottom line: there are plenty of colors to choose from, and some of them are nice even on their own, no matter what you wear.
The only downside of the Day Bag is the lack of inner pockets. The round form flashes images of unsorted stuff in the bag, and embarrassing moments when we search for our wallets for five minutes. However, this could as well make you a more disciplined person who could take care of herself better, besides, this problem is present in almost every bag with a round shape.
