The Papier A4 takes the plain work tote and gives it Balenciaga hardware, slouch and scale. Cristobal Balenciaga closed his couture house in 1968, and the revived house kept that tension between discipline and disruption in its accessories. Grey exotic Papier examples surface rarely, with exact grey lizard and python records appearing far less often than standard calfskin versions. For those who buy once and buy right, this tote 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 Papier A4 Grey Karung Tote\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra \/ Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010s, around the 2012 exotic Papier line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 15.75 in \/ 40 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 12 in \/ 30.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 6.3 in \/ 16 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 6.7 in \/ 17 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey karung\/lizard exotic leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black leather interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver-tone hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open top with front zip pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity Marker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balenciaga interior leather tag, Made in Italy stamp, Papier A4 proportions, front zip pocket, tassels, corner buckles and exotic scale pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good (SA Score 8.5 of 10).
