Just bitched about the expensive butter in the supermarket or complained about the high price of petrol at the gas station – and Balenciaga comes around the corner with a bag whose price would even make Croesus fall out of his shoes. The cost of this bag made of golden high-gloss brass: a whopping 18,000 euros (for comparison: the Birkin bag from Hermès is available from 8000 euros).
Offered in gold and silver colors, the latest Balenciaga bag is made of brass. And even if it doesn’t look like it – it can actually be used, because it has all the functions of an ordinary handbag.
The bag lid can be opened with a hinge, the interior is lined with nappa and lambskin and a detachable chain strap allows it to be worn over the shoulder. The model is the iconic hourglass bag, which the Parisian luxury brand comes in different sizes as standard.
The new brass bag is the in-house XS size; With a length of 19 centimeters, a height of almost 14 centimeters and a width of almost nine centimetres, there should be room for a credit card, iPhone and keys. But nothing more. But maybe that’s a good thing, because the “Hourglass Metal Bag” already has an impressive weight of almost one kilogram.

By the way, comparable Balenciaga models made of leather cost around 1300 euros, if that suits your budget better. However, if you don’t know where to put your money, you could definitely consider buying this gem, as it certainly has the potential to become a collector’s item. But be careful, it’s best to handle it with velvet gloves, otherwise you’ll get scratches. And they could reduce the resale value of the good piece by a few thousand euros.
The Hourglass Metal XS bag is open balenciaga.com and available on request from the Berlin Balenciaga store on Kurfürstendamm.
