15 Balenciaga Bags For A Cool Street Style Look
You can always rely on the Spanish luxury fashion house, Balenciaga, to create stunning and unique designs – so we’ve compiled a list of the best Balenciaga bags to help you decide which one is best for you.
Cristobal Balenciaga founded his namesake brand in 1919 and quickly became very successful thanks to his sculptural designs that were totally different from other fashion collections at the time.
Current creative director, Demna Gvasalia, continues the house of Balenciaga’s innovative designs – as shown in their incredible collections of designer handbags. We’ve brought together all the best Balenciaga bags so you can pick your favorite!
15 Best Balenciaga bags
1. Hourglass bag

The Hourglass range is a new addition to the Balenciaga handbag collection and it is completely fabulous! This structured small Hourglass handbag has a unique curved shape, with pointed corners, which looks incredibly luxurious in this sleek black calfskin leather.
Aged gold hardware adds a glistening element on the top handle and the B logo hardware – making it instantly recognizable as Balenciaga.
There is both a top handle and adjustable shoulder strap, which can be removed, for ultimate versatility. In addition to this, the bag also comes with croc-effect finish for those who are looking to add texture to their handbag collection.
2. Hourglass Bag With Rhinestones
Get this on Balenciaga
If there’s a bag from Balenciaga that we love more than the Hourglass bag, it has to be the beautiful crystal-embellished Hourglass bag. First spotted on Kim K, the bag has now become so popular that it’s constantly sold out on the Balenciaga website.
Much like the original Hourglass bag, this version comes with a detachable crossbody strap and a top handle for added versatility. The B-logo, the top handle, and the bag itself are all covered in gleaming rhinestones to give the bag an ultra-glam appearance.
Available in both pink and grey, the only downside of this beautiful piece is that it fetches a far higher price than the regular Hourglass bag – $6,000, to be exact, which is double the price of a regular Hourglass bag.
3. Neo Classic City Bag

The Balenciaga Neo Classic city tote is one of the best-selling Balenciaga bags – the relaxed yet edgy aesthetic made it wildly popular!
First introduced by Nicolas Ghesquière in 2001 in a more laid-back, relaxed look, the Neo Classic Balenciaga city tote has got an upgrade in 2020. It is characterized by a more structured body compared to the original, along with the buckled tabs and studs around the handles and brand logo – giving it that motorcycle edge.
There are rounded top handles and an adjustable detachable shoulder strap for endless styling options! Get your hands on this handbag for just $2,750.
