Balenciaga's Spring 2011 handbags

Over its ten year history, the greater strength of the Balenciaga motorcycle bag is its ability to become something of the sartorial Rorschach test. Because of the design’s easy lines and skill to morph from shape to contour while still being unmistakably Balenciaga, a prospective customer can see in it whatever she would like to see, and Nicolas Ghesquiere & Co. have taken to releasing it in every color, material and silhouette possible. All the higher to gather, my dears.

Balenciaga’s Spring 2011 purses continue that tradition in leather both perforated and traditional, suede, straw, python, crocodile, velvet and canvas. Did I miss any? I might have. The gathering also ranges in color from passive, rich carmel to acid green snakeskin and hits just about every note in between.
Whether your personal style is prim, punk or such that you might be compelled to buy a really classy fanny pack (please don’t), there’s an option for everyone who has ever loved a motorcycle bag in such a massive line.
