Leather Carry All Bel Air Medium bag.

In the 1930s, due to the Spanish Civil War, Balenciaga moved his business to Paris, where he inaugurated the maison in 1937. His collections quickly gained the favor of the European aristocracy and international high society. Thanks to his technical mastery, he was described by many as the "couturier of couturiers," a recognition shared by major fashion figures such as Christian Dior and Coco Chanel.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Cristóbal Balenciaga introduced some of the most innovative silhouettes in fashion history. Among his most famous creations are the cocoon coat, the sack dress, the tunic, and the voluminous lines that revolutionized the traditional conception of the female body. His style is distinguished by the balance between apparent simplicity, technical perfection, and architectural volumes.

In 1968, at the height of his career, Cristóbal Balenciaga decided to close the maison and retire from the fashion world. After his passing in 1972, the brand remained inactive for several years before being relaunched in the 1980s.

A new phase of success arrived in the late 1990s with Nicolas Ghesquière, who renewed the brand's image while keeping its creative heritage alive. Subsequently, creative directors such as Alexander Wang and Demna have reinterpreted the maison's legacy through a contemporary vision that blends luxury, experimentation, and urban culture.
