The Hip is a direct descendant of Nicolas Ghesquière's 2001 City and Motorcycle silhouettes, narrowed into a crossbody. Balenciaga was founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga in San Sebastián in 1919 and relocated to Paris in 1937, and the Metallic Edge capsule from Alexander Wang's tenure applied sharper gold-tone hardware to the established moto vocabulary. Pre-owned Balenciaga in Metallic Edge chèvre is the format that holds up best to daily rotation on the secondary market. For buyers browsing pre-owned Balenciaga bags Egypt, the listing puts material, condition, provenance, and authentication path in the first read. For those who buy once and buy right, this crossbody is that piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balenciaga\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metallic Edge Hip Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alexander Wang for Balenciaga\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra \/ Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metallic Edge capsule, post-2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 cm adjustable, crossbody carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black chèvre goatskin, supple and pebbled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-tone Metallic Edge trim, moto-line detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top zip fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity Marker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interior heat-stamped Balenciaga Paris with Made in Italy plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good (SA Score 8.5 of 10).
