Balenciaga Giant City
We all know that it’s the dream of every woman to own a nice, shining Balenciaga Giant City. This hip bag demands a thorough inspection which will try to answer whether or not the publicity of it comes from hard work in the marketing, from an extravagant design, or just because it’s a good bag. In this article, we’ll try to sort out the things that are and aren’t good about this (endlessly reproduced) Balenciaga bag.
This bag is made from lambskin, softly crafted for a vintage look; palladium plated metal hardware; hand stitched handles with a 4.3″ drop; a removable shoulder strap; a leather framed hand mirror; textile lining; it’s 15″ x 3.5′ x 10″ and weighs only about 1kg or 2.5lbs. For all that, Balenciaga ask you about fifteen hundred. The best price/quality ripoff costs $52 or about 30 times cheaper. We’ve got ourselves a question – is the bag really 30 times better than the ripoff? And it’s tough to answer.
If you want to feel like a celebrity, this bag is for you. The famous Italian giant’s – Balenciaga’s – bags have been used by celebrities for decades (Kylie Minogue; Nicole Kidman, etc.) and seem to never lose their charm. While this particular bag has a somewhat techy background (all the fancy metal buttons and the zippers), it’s certainly a good pick, that is, if choosing a model from the vast supply of Giant City bag variations is possible at all.
If you’re looking for a modern, nice and branded handbag, this one’s for you. The functionality and the design of it is nothing, compared to other people’s reaction to you. Although some of the looks you’ll have on you will be envious, most of them will give you a weird sense of someone else respecting you just for making good choices when buying things. Superficial, but effective, nevertheless.
Let’s get to the point already. The criteria from which to make your choice is obvious just by looking at the price of the Balenciaga Giant City. If you’ve got your eyes on the bag but don’t earn over 50 grand a year, I sincerely doubt that you need the bag. If you’re leading a good life and want an exclusive, stylish bag that you know isn’t fake (and is clearly worth the price you pay for it!), you can purchase the City model. If not, you’re better off with a cheaper bag or a replica.
