Condition 
Consignment, used, vintage pre-loved condition; not like new. The calf hair shows tonal variation, flattening and areas of visible wear or thinning. The cognac leather trim has developed a pronounced patina with creasing, scratches, rubbing and darkening, particularly along the handles, corners and structural panels. The silver-tone hardware shows scratches and finish variation. The bag has softened into the relaxed slouch associated with vintage Balenciaga Motorcycle bags. The mirror and leather frame show surface wear. Please inspect all photographs, as they form part of the condition description.

A rare textural interpretation of Balenciaga’s cult Motorcycle bag, this oversized Work silhouette combines warm camel calf hair with richly distressed cognac leather. Its spacious, softly structured body is finished with whipstitched top handles, buckled corner details, long leather zipper tassels, an exterior zip pocket and the house’s signature removable mirror.
Created during Nicolas Ghesquière’s celebrated Balenciaga era, the Work was designed as the roomier, top-handle counterpart to the City. Its generous proportions can accommodate daily essentials and many laptops while developing the languid, undone slouch coveted by vintage Balenciaga collectors.



The ultimate Y2K collector’s carryall. This rare Balenciaga Work bag amplifies Nicolas Ghesquière’s iconic Motorcycle design through oversized proportions, softly worn camel calf hair and beautifully patinated cognac leather. Spacious, tactile and unapologetically slouchy, it captures the rebellious glamour that made vintage Balenciaga the uniform of fashion’s original off-duty It girls.
