A relic of rebel refinement—where olive-grey attitude meets precision in perforation.
The Giant 12 Brogues City Bag is one of Balenciaga’s most elusive legacy finishes. Released in the early 2010s, the Brogues line fused punk heritage with tailored restraint, introducing perforated trim and matte domed hardware to the iconic City silhouette. This edition in Gris Tarmac, a rare green-tinged grey from the archive palette, stands among the most sought-after tonal releases from the era.
Constructed in Italy from distressed chevre (goat) leather, the bag features signature hand-braided handles, double zipper pulls, and antique gold Giant 12 studs. The serial 201526-2123 is cleanly embossed on the interior tag, authenticating its production.
The leather has softened naturally, and the handles show darkening from use—consistent with age and expected wear.
Structurally sound and rich with character, this is a collector-level City bag in a finish no longer in circulation.
“Gris Tarmac” editions surface rarely and sell fast—this one offers both provenance and presence.
