Balenciaga Work Bag – Dusty Sky Blue (Circa 2007–2008)
Description
A true archive piece from the golden era of balenciaga, this oversized Work bag dates to the late 2000s Nicolas Ghesquière era, when Balenciaga defined off-duty It-Girl style.
Crafted in soft Agneau lambskin leather, this bag features the iconic slouchy silhouette, whip-stitched top handles, antiqued brass hardware, and signature front zip pocket that made the Work bag a staple of the Y2K and paparazzi-era fashion scene.
The color is a rare, beautifully aged Dusty Sky Blue / Faded Cerulean, a tone that develops naturally over time with authentic vintage Balenciaga leather. This soft, washed finish is highly sought after by collectors and cannot be replicated on newer reissues.

Why We Love It
This is peak Balenciaga — oversized, effortless, and unapologetically cool. The late-2000s Work bag is a cornerstone of vintage luxury, and this rare sky-blue shade makes it an especially special find.
Perfect styled casually or contrasted with a sleek look, this piece embodies the era before reissues — true archive, not revival.
