Balenciaga Velo – Giant 12 Silver Hardware – Fuchsia Arena Lambskin 2012
Description
This rare Balenciaga Velo in vibrant fuchsia Arena lambskin leather with Giant 12 silver hardware is the perfect oversized take on the iconic Motorcycle line. The Velo, introduced in the early 2010s, features the same beloved details as the City — braided top handles, front zipper pocket, and signature long tassels — but with a roomier body and wide detachable shoulder strap for versatile wear.
Crafted in Italy from Balenciaga’s signature distressed Arena lambskin, this bag embodies the effortless slouch and “It-girl” attitude of the early 2010s, seen on countless celebrities and fashion icons.
