The usual City already has attitude; the crocodile embossing makes this one more specific, more dressed and much harder to replace. Balenciaga introduced the Motorcycle family in 2001, and the City became the shape collectors still read first: slouch, studs, long zipper pulls and a useful everyday body. In Bleu Marine croc-embossed calfskin, with strap and mirror present, this is the richer lane of the City story for a Cairo buyer who wants the shape without choosing the standard black bag.\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 Crocodile Embossed Classic City\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nicolas Ghesquiere-era Balenciaga codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra \/ Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017 Classic City line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 in \/ 38.1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5 in \/ 24.1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 in \/ 14 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 in \/ 8.9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder Strap Drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5 in \/ 21.6 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bleu Marine crocodile-embossed calfskin leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black fabric interior with zipper and patch pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic City studs, buckles, zipper pulls and mirror hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top zip closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity Marker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crocodile-embossed calfskin, front zipper pocket, stud layout, leather-framed mirror, shoulder strap hardware, zipper pulls, City proportions and Made in Italy construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent (SA Score 9 of 10).
