Balenciaga Spring 2011 bags

Balenciaga got me confused lately.

i love their motorcycle bags and collected them since 2002 and waiting each season to see what they come up next. i am surprised to see the spring 2011 bags collection, i adore the croc papier tote and the motorcycle suede bags look lovely, i also begin to like the straw tote.

but if i have to say about the overall collection i'm disappointed. the "birkin-like" bags don't impress me at all, and also most of the non-motorcycle bags.

what do you think after seeing the collection?

Balenciaga 10th anniversary "Mini Mini First Keychain" what fits?

to some of you asking if this MMF keychain can fit things i took some photos of what they fit.

basically this MMF keychain size is approximately 4" at the widest x 2.5" at the tallest x 1" wide.

Balenciaga 10th anniversary "Mini Mini First Keychain"

i am not really interested in the Balenciaga 10th anniversary limited edition bag but this "mini mini first bag charm" is way too cute.

i always love anything mini mini and my heart literally beating when i saw a member on the purse forum posted hers, i instantly wanted one despise the overpriced tag :(



a source at Balenciaga Las Vegas said that the colours are: Black embossed lizard; Rouge Vif; Rose Layette; Fuxia; Aigue Marine (Papeete); Jaune; Baby Blue; Vert Fluo; and Turquoise.

Balenciaga "Move on" or "The Move"

this style totally reminds me of the discontinued Balenciaga Shoe Bag i had few years ago.

currently retails for us$649

Balenciaga "Strategy bag"

Another new style for this season, the "strategy"
It is a double handle bag which has a detachable long strap. The strap is long enough to be worn cross body. The style looks very different when it filled to top compared to when it is comparatively empty. When the bag is not filled to the top, the weight of the zip weights down the center and the sides also slouch down, creating a completely different look when the bag is carried by it handles.
The Strategy is essentially a smaller version of the "overnight"
currently retails for AU$2,150

Balenciaga "Trapeze bag"

The Trapeze is a new style for FW10

Slightly tight when carried on the double handles under the shoulder. The long strap is best carried on the shoulder (not longer enough to wear cross body). Instore now in Black, Anthracite and Blue Roi

Balenciaga "Town"

it's the "First" but in bigger better size.
i love my "First" and i love my "City" but there are times when i felt the "First" is perfect if it's only a tad bigger, and the "City" is perfect if it's only a tad smaller and here comes the answer.
Available in classic regular hardware or Giant Hardware (the size of the "giant" hardware was been scaled down foe this model)
