Spring-Summer 2010 Womens Balenciaga
This post is actually way overdue, considering that most of the pre-Spring colours are already out in the market. Then again, better late than never, right? So what are this season’s colours? From the top we’ve got Sorbet, followed by Cyclade and other colours including Castagna, Papeete, Outremer, Sahara and Sang which you can either view at Balenciaga’s online site, or at HGBags which is quite fully stocked now with most of the colours.
Along with the pre-Spring colours, there will be 3 more coming in March 2010 and they are Olive, Canard (a really dark blue) and Moutard (dark yellow like mustard). Personally I’m eyeing a Balenciaga Weekender in Olive myself which will also make it my third. I started with Automme in S/S09, it has been downhill ever since. For F/W09 I got Tempete and after that I told myself I’d get one every season. Trust me when I say this, but these leather beauties can be very, very addictive.
Some new styles have also been introduced, including the Balenciaga Sunday, a roomy tote that comes in 2 different sizes. Then there is the Balenciaga Papier (shown above), a flat tote with very thin handles that I’m not extremely keen on. You can check them out at HGBags which ships internationally as well. In fact, enter promo code ‘PINK’ now at checkout to enjoy free worldwide shipping for a limited time only.
Anyone out there bought anything from the pre-Spring collection yet?

I wonder BB, do you think the Mens day will come in Olive or Canard?
It most probably will… which one are you eyeing?
does HGBags sells authentic bags? coz their prices are much cheaper yes?
Yes, HGBags is legit, so no worries there. Me, along with many of my readers all buy from Erica/HGBags.
Which is your favourite colour BB? Moutard sounds really good!
Dear BB, Can you make a introduction with all Balenciaga Bag?? Until now, I still can’t understand what is the different with Weekender, Part time, Giant work…I can’t see through their difference..
Yea, I second this request, please? Altho I do get to learn alot from Purse Forum, but it still takes a bit of research. So if you can do a summary, it would be fantastic BB dearest. TIA!
BB actually did a FAQ post about Balenciaga before, its here: http://bagaholicboy.com/2009/04/bagaholicboy-profiles-13-balenciaga/
i have the bag in pink (not sure the name) but i love it very much!
oooo i just got the Cyclade in europe! loveeee it!
sorbet looks very good!!
BB, hows it in real life??
Sorbet is a really vibrant pink! Not scream-in-yr-face-hotpink or a baby pink, somewhere in the middle…
If you ever had Raspberry Sorbet, that’s as close as it gets in terms of the colour…
I got 3 bags from SS10 collection: outremer, sorbet and anthracite. All have gorgeous leather. Love them all!
and also does hgbags come with dustbag for the bag? thx once again bb!!
Yes, all items come with dust bags at HGBags unless otherwise stated. SLGs usually come with boxes as well…
Hi! How much does Erica charge for shipping to the Manila? And what about the taxes?Thanks!
Best you check directly with Erica on that.
Dear BB
I’m thinking of buying my first Bal – but can’t decide between a classic black or raisin. Its more for work purposes, so I thought these 2 are safe colours.
I am quite petite too, and not sure if the Giant Covered Work or City is better for me, any advice?
Hey Coreen, if it is purely for work (and work is rather ‘serious’) than stick to Black. If not Raisin is fine, so are those in shades of brown and grey. The B Work is rather big, you can even fit a small laptop into it. Again it depends on what you’ll be primarily using the bag for. Also check on the B Part-Time which comes in somewhere between the 2 in terms of size.
thanks BB, will ponder over it. i would still prefer the covered versions as there are some nice trimmings on them.
hi BB, i am thinking between these 2 bags
1) Vert D’eau brief
2) praline city SGH
which do u tink its a better choice in the long run?
thanks!
Most definitely SGH City in Praline! Go for it!
thanks for ur reply!! do u know how i can go about protecting bbags since praline is such a delicate color n im so afraid of stains and color tfrs!
heard loads about appleguard and LMB but im not sure which pdts to get. Was thinking of getting the LMH for the handles.
I use Apple Brand Leather Care on my Balenciaga pieces, just coat it with a layer of the ‘cream’ and buff it off once every 2 months. That’s it really.
hi there. just would like to ask how much is a balenciaga city with regular hardware in singapore dollar. Im from manila and il be in sing this coming march. thanks in advance.ur blog rocks!
Urban section of the Straits Times recently ran a series of articles on what they consider to be iconic bags. Was quite disappointed with their choices, and was wondering if you could share your list of must-haves
I am working on it right now! Stay tuned!
Hi BB!! i would like to know how much does a Balenciaga Giant Part time there? I’m planing to purchase one when i get there next month…
If I am not wrong, it should retail for around SGD2900 or so…
Dear BB, I would just like to enquire if its really true that Bal is stopping their production for GGH.
I am really hoping to get a black city with GGH sometime in future but m so afraid that they wld stop production for it alrey.
thanks
They are not pushing out all the S/S10 bags in GGH (Gold Giant Hardware) that’s true, since SGH (Silver) and RGGH (Rose Gold) are more popular now but I know they are still producing Black and Anthracite with GGH.
oh that’s great news! I called bal hilton about a month back and the sales lady told me that they would not bring in anymore black GGH! I hope she’s wrong. m gg to call tmr n try again.
Well, it could be true that Singapore will not be bringing more in due to stock allocations, so I would advise you to look for it beyond our shores…
BB, have you seen the Balenciaga Town in Canard? What are your thoughts on the bag? Need some insight before I purchase it. Thanks!
BB … is it cheaper to get the balencia city in Paris or to get my fren working in Club 21 to buy for me with the staff disc?
Hi BB, i have a friend going to Milan next month and i’m thinking of getting a Balenciaga bag. Is it cheaper to get it from Milan or from HGBags?
Hello BB, i’ve been craving for a Balenciaga Giant Part Time for the longest time. Finally I think i might be able to get one as anniversary pressie from the boyfriend!
Which colour from the latest collection would you recommend if i’m looking for a timeless piece (and hopefully not many people will sport carrying)? I’m torn between the Canard and the Palm Tree. Hear from you soon!
Canard is nice but having seen it so many times I’m not exactly loving it as much as Palm Tree (Olive) for sure.
I also like Outremer… that shade of blue is stunning too!
Take a look here as well, quite a few S/S10 Balenciaga bags that belong to my readers, just as a reference.

Hi BB! I’ve been looking for a city/PT in tempete for quite a while now but couldn’t find one. What color do you think is closest to tempete?
Also, i’m thinking of buying an outremer or ciel or cyclade instead if ever i’ll give up on finding a tempete. Which do you like best? Thanks!
Hi BB, can you recommend legit online stores that possibly carry Balenciaga Sunday? Barneys has sold out and HG doesnt carry it anymore, my bad cos i’ve just found out your blog recently, very nice work btw.
If you’re in Singapore do try checking out the Balenciaga boutique at Hilton Shopping Gallery?
I’ll be in singapore next month, will def check it out. Thanks.
hey BB, would a Bal Work be too big for me? considering i’m only about 1.54m tall.. this is gonna be the 1st branded bag i buy for myself, and i want it to be something that will last and that i won’t regret buying..
i’m toying with the idea of a balenciaga or celine luggage.. but the luggage seems too old for me?
