Leather Classic City bag.

Balenciaga leather Classic City bag. Cristóbal Balenciaga was considered one of the greatest couturiers of the 20th century. Coco Chanel called him "the master of us all," while Christian Dior called him "the master of haute couture." His fashion was characterized by clean lines, structured volumes and a constant search for the balance between form and function. In the 1950s and '60s, he revolutionized the female silhouette with creations such as the sack dress, the tunic, and the bubble suit.

Balenciaga closed its maison in 1968 and he passed away in 1972. After years of inactivity, the brand was relaunched in the 1990s. True contemporary success arrived with Nicolas Ghesquière, creative director from 1997 to 2012, who brought Balenciaga back to the center of global fashion, merging the brand's heritage with a futuristic and conceptual style.

In 2015, the creative direction passed to Demna Gvasalia, who transformed Balenciaga into one of the most influential brands in the contemporary fashion system. With a streetwear, deconstructed, and often provocative aesthetic, Demna has reinterpreted the maison's identity, maintaining a focus on innovative shapes, irony, and social critique.

Today, Balenciaga is part of the Kering group and is among the most discussed and relevant brands, thanks to collections that challenge fashion conventions, strategic collaborations, and a strong cultural impact.
