Balenciaga Weekender Bag

If you ever thought that you’re missing a bag for weekend use, you can give the Balenciaga Weekender Bag a try. It has some similarities with the immensely popular Giant City, however, the Weekender is considered to be more casual and refined, more feminine bag than the Giant City. It’s considered to be a popular choice among celebrities, such as Nicole Richie and Kate Moss and most of all – the Weekender will make you feel like a star too.

The Weekender is made from crafted lambskin for a vintage feel, brass hardware, handmade handles with a 4.3 inch drop, textile lining and an interior zip pocket with the awe-inspiring Balenciaga plaque – all that weighing just about 1kg/2.5lbs. This is certainly a modern city bag that has ‘attitude’ written all over it. The hardware on the Weekender is a little different than on the other bags, the hardware is smaller than on most of the B. creations. It is kind of refreshing and certainly serves a purpose – this bag is more of a girly, feminine bag, as it’s also somewhat big – 21” x 9” x 15”. Although you probably won’t need a laptop in a weekend, the bag will take in that – and much more – because of the sizable dimensions of the bag.

The vibrant colors of this collection add a certain rock’n'roll feeling to the Weekender which already screams independence and freedom. For it is an everyday bag (unless you really get it for weekends only), you have to take care of it; especially if you’re new to handling handbags. This includes protecting it with a conditioner and cleaning it once in a while – but a bag lady certainly doesn’t need to be reminded to do all that! The title implies the purpose of this bag – made for weekend getaways. The removable hand mirror suits anything really nice, especially if you are in a hurry to add that final touch of makeup.

It retails for a little less than seventeen hundred, but the price accounts for the quality, the fact that you can use the Weekender for a few years at most, and the fact that it would be almost impossible for someone to ‘outsnob’ you, hence this fabulous bag isn’t really the type that someone can look down on. The only downside is the price, but it’s a designer bag – what else can you expect from it? Besides, if money isn’t a concern for you, you can get yourself a custom made crocodile skin Weekender, which retails for, tadaa, $22,500.
