It’s not news that Balenciaga knows how to design a great bag. Their classic studded pockets, zippers, buckles, and tassels are as tried and true as it gets (and as recognizable, too). But even though this bag’s design is similar to most of its Balenciaga brethren, it still stopped me in my tracks. Perhaps it’s the caramel color, the delicate straps that are just the perfect length, or the small pocket in that sea of soft leather. But I’m inclined to say that it’s just that indescribable Balenciaga magic that has me drooling over my keyboard.
