An iconic Y2K-era statement, this Balenciaga Classic City bag features the coveted Giant 12 (G12) rose gold hardware, crafted in supple white Arena lambskin leather. Designed during Balenciaga’s golden Nicolas Ghesquière era, the City bag became a defining symbol of early-2010s off-duty model style.

The structured-yet-slouchy silhouette, whipstitched handles, exposed stitching, and oversized studs make this one of the most recognizable and collectible Balenciaga designs. The white leather has aged beautifully, giving the bag a soft, naturally worn-in look that collectors love.

Effortlessly wearable by hand, shoulder, or crossbody, this is a timeless investment piece that never goes out of style.
