Balenciaga Crescent
I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing this actual style in person yet, it’s exclusively available at MyTheresa and just not sold here in Seattle. (Barney’s and Nordstrom’s carry a great selection, just not this bag in particular). Although I’m sure it’s as fantastic as every other creation from the Balenciaga workshop.
The details that first caught my attention were the unique to Balenciaga crescent design and swoop around whipstitch detailing technique along the arc. And I don’t know about you guys, maybe it’s just my tummy doing the talking here, but I just can’t help think the design looks quite similar to a pastry. Yum!
The bag is only available in this pink version with all the traditional Balenciaga hardware that we Balenciga addicts have come to love. Even though it’s not pictured above, the bag comes with a very thin detachable leather strap. I really don’t like how it looks with the strap, but hey it’s removable so that’s a huge plus. I’m sure if this was in my closet I would wear it somedays with and somedays without but would enjoy it more as a handheld.

At first I didn’t like it. I was really curious how it opened, like does the zipper go along that curve? But you answered all my questions and the pictures helped alot. Just I don’t like pink. I’m going to hope and wait for another color like black or gray.
I really like the color, but the design is so different to me. I like of course all the little signature Balenciaga detailing, but the slope and whipstitch is too much of a fad for me.
Oh yea, that was my first thought as well. A delicious Balenciaga pastry!
Aww shucks, it sold out!
I have this in mint green! I bought it so long ago and haven’t really gotten a chance yet to wear it.. the weather has been so yucky lately. This one is really cute though, who wouldn’t like pink?
Oh cute!
I want this but in the fall Anthracite GRAY!
I love the color, the crescent design and whipstitch detail! I wonder what other colors we can expect to see…
