The Thrill of Balenciaga Handbags

If I could own just one expensive designer purse, I think I would want it to be a Balenciaga bag. Baleciaga handbags are the Rolls Royce of couture bags, chic classics that are coveted by all handbag lovers everywhere. The only question is, which Balenciaga bag would I want to have? Its hard to narrow it down.

Balenciaga makes an array of fabulous bags in a variety of styles and materials. Each bag design usually comes in an assortment of colors. The styles havent changed much over the years, which is kind of what makes Balenciaga handbags so much fun. Design changes are subtle, and only the most attentive devotee of the brand might even notice the little details that differentiate one years bag from anothers. If you really adore fine construction and careful design, not to mention high-quality, elegant leather then maybe Balenciaga handbags are for you. I know theyre my personal favorite.

So now comes the question of which style of bag to purchase. Remember, in this fantasy Im wealthy enough to afford to spend thousands of dollars on my new Balenciaga bag, but Im only wealthy enough to do it once! So I have to choose carefully among the many available options in Balenciaga handbags.

The obvious choice would be the classic Lariat bag, famously worn by pretty much every female celebrity on Earth, from Kate Moss to Nicole Richie. The Lariat bag is constructed from soft leather. It has great silver motorcycle-inspired hardware. Its just a gorgeous, elegant, stylish bag and large enough to hold a lot of stuff too. The black version would be versatile and yet refined. It would match any outfit. Then again, the Lariat also comes in other hues. A bright blue or red would be distinct, letting my own Lariat stand out from the crowd. Whichever color I choose, if I settle on the Lariat I am getting the absolute pinnacle of Balenciaga handbags.

On the other hand, maybe a clutch would be a more practical and aesthetically pleasing choice. Balenciaga makes some delightful clutches, like the giant envelope clutch, a stunner in brightly dyed shades of fine leather adorned with giant gold or silver hardware. The Lune clutch is also a graceful and chic option, in bi-colored leather. It has a more geometric quality to the design. These striking handbags automatically communicate the wearers high style and bag savvy.

Still, I could go even smaller, and favor art over function. If I did that, Id simply have to own the clutch Tube. This purse is more of a wristlet than a clutch, and I doubt it could hold much beyond maybe a lipstick and a credit card. But boy, is it a stunning thing to look at! Made from laser-treated crocodile skin, it glows with an otherworldly iridescence, like mother-of-pearl. Its decorated with blue-green polished agate. This bag is truly the work of art among Balenciaga handbags. Maybe if Im going to spend so much on a purse, I might as well throw functionality out the window and get something I can simply sit down and admire.
