Archival red leather, softened and steeped in subversion.
A signature of Nicolas Ghesquière’s early-2000s Balenciaga direction, the Classic City remains the definitive anti-it bag of the post-Y2K runway. Loved for its irregular hide, brass studs, and motorcycle energy, it retains peak relevance across decades.
Crafted in Italy from distressed goatskin with signature tassel pulls, thinned top handles, and aged hardware. Serial 115748 3444 with Lampo zipper confirms authenticity.
Mirror and shoulder strap missing – reflected in valuation.
Released under Ghesquière’s creative lead, this piece has seen the street, not just the archive.
