Balenciaga’s Le City Bag Campaign Unites Fashion and Fame

In the wake of its 53rd couture collection, Balenciaga has returned with a starry campaign for its flagship Le City bag. Shot by Mario Sorrenti, the sartorial delivery captures the signature accessory of brand ambassador Nicole Kidman and friends of the House, including Kate Moss, Amelia Gray, and Kit Butler.

The storied bag was first launched in 2001, and it has since undergone a slew of renovations to reach its icon status.  Made in Italy, the latest version is made with Arena leather and fitted with Palladium Vibrato hardware, including small metal buckles and rounded stubs that appear across the bag’s facade.

Zooming in further, leather zipper pulls are strung like lace, and handles feature braided finishes. Over time, the bag ages with a unique patina, produced as a byproduct of natural oxidation.

Rounding out the design specs, the hero piece boasts a removable shoulder strap, an inner zipped pocket, and cotton canvas lining. In its current iteration, the bag is finished in light beige, dark beige, light pink, dark green, blue and more hues.

Balenciaga’s Le City bag is available to shop on the brand’s webstore. The accessory comes in mini, small and medium sizes, with prices ranging from $1,890 USD to $2,900 USD.  campaign in the gallery above.
