Balenciaga "Giant Hardware" 2007

This season, Balenciaga make some changes on the hardware by bravely introduce a giant gold hardware ont he new collection.
some changes also made with the style, and addition giant brief to complete this season's surprise.
Contradiction between this brand's fans arise. some love the brave move, but some more rejects the idea and asking to bring the regular hardware back.
For myself, i first shocked to see this but i also see the potential. What i see is that it's too striking and attract attention which contradictive to the reason i love these bags for, its humble and down to earth tone.
But after getting used to see it, and i changed my mind. In the right colour and the right style, these gold hardware can look stunningly beautiful and classy.
I guess in the end, it's going to be an either "you love it" or "you hate it" bag.
