Handbagista

Balenciaga is best known for starting the New Look fashion craze of tight suits and skirts, for the set-back collar that endowed its wearers with a swan-like, the sack dress, and the full-sized jacketwith dolman sleeves. The Spanish designer was always ahead of the fashion curve, outdoing even the most drastic runway designers with a flair for not only look good on a hanger, but what looked good on an actual breathing woman. Balenciaga bags are no different. Balenciaga Bags carry on the artist’s legacy of providing women with beauty.

It is said that Balenciaga was so valued and beloved by his customers that women would order multiples of each item they bought. That way, when their favorite sack dress was in the cleaners or otherwise inaccessible, they had a duplicate to wear. They appreciated so the designers ability to transform their otherwise average figures into something spectacular.

Such success did not come easy. Balenciaga was a tough perfectionist. He would never produce any garment or accessory until he was certain it had not one flaw. He devoted insatiable energy to ensuring that every item with his name on it fit perfectly into an outfit. Balenciaga was a genius of proportion and scale, balancing every piece of an outfit. Just take the pill-boxes and other outrageously large or small hats that he specialized in. There was no other way to complete the silhouettes of his dresses or suits.

Just take his Balenciaga bags, too. The Balenciaga Metallic Bags, for instance, are taking the runways and starlet scenes by storm in the twenty first century, just as his bags did decades ago. A Balenciaga Metallic Bag can balance out an otherwise staid outfit with instant glamour and outrageous color and sheen.

Fashion models, rock stars, and movie celebrities alike are flocking to the range of styles and colors of these Balenciaga bags. You can choose from silver, hot pink, silver, or emerald. Or pick from a small slouchy shape to a brazen and beefy shoulder bag. You’ll be in elite company, with the likes of Nicky Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, and Natalie Appleton all relying on Balenciaga bags to finish off their outfits.

Such color and pizzazz may seem odd coming from a designer known as a master of black. Balenciaga in his heyday was known for subtle blends of black and brown, earthen tones that he borrowed from his home country’s traditional dress. But Balenciaga bags are more simply an extension of his overall sense of balance. After all, Balenciaga also borrowed the frilly, embroidered look of traditional Spain, as well as the blinding whites and jeweled-endowed trimming.
