A Mini Papier handbag from Balenciaga crafted in a grained leather, combining shades of pink and white creating an abstract camo-like print. The bag features a softly structured rectangular silhouette with an open top, expandable side gussets and a gently rounded base. Dual rolled handles are complimented with adjustable buckle tabs, while silver hardware and the houses iconic central zip pocket with elongated tassel pull references Balenciagas iconic Motorcycle range. Finished with metal ring detailing at the lower corners, a detachable long strap and a detachable leather-framed mirror.
Introduced during Nicolas Ghesquiere’s tenure in the early 2010s, the Papier offered a more architectural interpretation of Balenciaga’s established handbag codes. Moving away from the slouchy silhouettes of the iconic Motorcycle collection, the design embraced clean lines and geometric construction while still retaining the houses signature design features.
