Balenciaga Papier Mini Grey Leather Bag

Originally released in 2001 during then-creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s tenure, the City was previously known as the Motorcycle City Bag and became one of the fashion house’s most coveted designs.

Ironically, the handbag’s appeal lay exactly in its logo-less, relaxed and unstructured silhouette, and there was hardly a Noughties It girl that wasn’t carrying one everywhere. Moss wore hers religiously, as did the Olsen twins and Nicole Richie

This is the mini Papier bag style. A tote take on the Classic City.

Crafted from a light grey pebbled Veau (calfskin) leather with silver hardware.

Made in Italy. Overall good pre-owned condition with some marks to the leather in places.

• Height: 17cm
• Width: 22cm
• Depth: 9.5cm
• Top handle drop: 9cm
• Shoulder strap drop: 46-51cm

Overall a beautiful bag and a real collectors item.
