Buying Guide

Choisir son sac Balenciaga en trois temps

  1. 1. Define the use

    Daily format (30-35 cm), dinner format (20-25 cm) or travel format: actual use dictates the size before any aesthetic criteria.

  2. 2. Decide on the material

    Supple grains for intensive use, rigid leathers for a crisp structure, exotics for a collector's piece. The material influences the price more than the year.

  3. 3. Verify before buying

    Each bag Balenciaga we list is appraised in Paris (Entrupy assisted analysis followed by manual review), delivered with a certificate, an invoice and 10 to 14 days of insured shipping.
