Starting on July 4th, 2024, Balenciaga’s bag campaign showcases the House’s signatures with a new spotlight on Le City. In photographs by Mario Sorrenti that feature brand ambassador Nicole Kidman and models Kate Moss, Amelia Gray and Kit Butler, the line is highlighted in multiple sizes, colors, and finishes.
First launched in 2001, the iconic Le City is known for its enigmatic maximalist yet practical approach. The new version is crafted with Arena leather and fitted with Palladium Vibrato hardware. Its defining features include reinforced corners with small metal buckles, thimble-like studs that form a distinctive design across the body of the bag, leather lace-strung zipper pulls, braided handles, and a surface that gains a unique patina over time.
