When it comes to counting the classic bags of Balenciaga, the Motorcycle City Bag designed by former creative director Nicholas Ghesquière is definitely one of the top choices! This handbag, with a 20-year history, is still the brand’s flagship bag, evolving into different versions over the years with changes in creative directors. Under current creative director Demna Gvasalia, he has used this classic handbag as a blueprint multiple times, creating the structured and sleek Neo Classic version, and most recently transforming it into the rounded edge design of the Le Cagole shoulder bag.
The name originates from the French slang “cagole,” meaning a fashionista who dresses excessively, with a playful touch; the entire series is available in 4 sizes to choose from, ranging from a single-shoulder handbag to a large capacity clutch, retaining the iconic details of the Motorcycle City Bag, adorned with flat rivets, buckles, knotted leather zippers, and adding a cute heart-shaped mirror, giving the super classic “It Bag” an extra playful feel.
The series uses bold and eye-catching colors, selected materials such as Arena lambskin, crocodile-embossed cowhide, and floral printed Arena lambskin.
