Vintage Balenciaga Bag

Description

Cristóbal Balenciaga Eizaguirre...

(January 21st, 1895 – 23 March 23rd 1972) was a Spanish fashion designer, and the founder of the Balenciaga fashion house in 1917.

The Spanish royal family and the aristocracy wore his designs, but the Spanish Civil War forced him to move from Spain to Paris, France.

He had a reputation as a couturier with uncompromising standards and was referred to as "the master of us all" by Christian Diorand as "the only couturier in the truest sense of the word" by Coco Chanel... who continued... "the others are simply fashion designers".

On the day of his death, in 1972, Women's Wear Daily ran the headline "The King is Dead".

Today, Balenciaga is one of the most respected high-end luxury fashion houses in the world.

Imported from Italy, this Balenciaga purse has a vintage luxury design and would make a great gift for anyone!

In signature fashion... this bag has a black leather exterior, silver-tone buckles and accents, a flap-top with a magnetic snap closing, one additional zipper pocket and a removable black leather shoulder strap.

The interior has a black canvas lining, with two main compartments, one additional open compartment, one additional zipper pocket and one attached mirror inside.

An excellent example of the luxury and elegance that Cristóbal Balenciaga gave us in the 1920s, 30s and 40s.

This Balenciaga bag makes a distinctive addition to any ensemble.
