A 2012 archive piece in cassis lambskin, where rose gold hardware meets Balenciaga’s most collectible silhouette.
Released during the height of Nicolas Ghesquière’s tenure, the Giant 12 City in cassis remains one of the most sought-after configurations in Balenciaga’s motorcycle lineage. The deep berry hue, paired with rose gold-tone hardware, was produced in limited runs and has since become a collector’s target.
Crafted from supple agneau (lambskin) leather, the bag features signature braided top handles, a detachable shoulder strap with shoulder pad, and a front zip pocket with leather-framed mirror. The top zip opens to a black textile interior with a single zip pocket.
Condition is excellent with minor surface wear consistent with age.
