Balenciaga: Handbags with an Iconic Status
Everybody heard of Balenciaga bags. They are much in demand, they are carried by celebrities, and their designs are copied by other fashion houses. Every purse produced by the brand immediately becomes the “it” bag – its sales go through the roof and every fashion-conscious woman thinks that it’s a must-have.
The story of Balenciaga began in 1914 in Madrid, where young Cristobal Balenciaga founded his first boutique. Forced to move to Paris because of the Spanish Civil War, the Spanish couturier with his revolutionary designs enjoyed immediate success. However, despite the contribution of Cristobal Balenciaga to fashion, he is not the man responsible for the success of the handbags bearing his name. The designer who breathed a new life into the brand that was dormant after the death of its founder is Nicolas Ghesquiere. It was him who designed the sought-after Balenciaga bags that are easily recognizable by the shiny goat leather, chunky hardware and sleek lines.
The most famous handbag created by the company - the Balenciaga Motorcycle - is inspired by the motorcycle theme. Though the Balenciaga Motorcycle bag hit the shops in 2001, it remains one of the best-selling purses. In fact, it was included in the Top Ten Luxury Handbags made by the Style Group. This handbag with a removable strap, trailing laces and studs has been spotted on the arm of practically every celebrity with a sense of style - Sienna Miller, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lindsay Lohan, Dakota Fanning, Fergie and Cameron Diaz. Undoubtedly, the most devoted fan of the Balenciaga Motorcycle Lariat is Nicole Richie. She is rumored to have it in every color.
Of course, this is not the only popular bag of the brand. Such purses as the Balenciaga Pompon, the Balenciaga Lune, the Balenciaga Sunday and many others are also the dream-handbags of women all over the world. Unfortunately, that is what they remain for most people – just a dream, because not a lot of women will agree to spend twelve hundred dollars on a handbag. But what if the purses with the same design were sold for a price that was several times lower than that of Balenciaga bags? This may be difficult to believe, but such handbags exist.
Replica Balenciaga bags resemble the genuine ones down to the last detail. They are made from quality leather and will serve you just as well as the real Balenciaga bags. And, what is best of all, these fake Balenciaga handbags are so moderately priced that you can easily afford a few purses of different styles and colours.
