It’s gold, it’s red, and it’s festive. In other words, it makes perfect sense that Balenciaga has released them as part of its tiny Holiday 2015 capsule collection, which as far as I can tell, consists of 2 long leather wallets and 2 bracelets in 2 colours as far as the SLGs and accessories go.

Available in Red and Rose des Sables (which is like a pale rosy cream), you’ll find 2 styles as far as the wallets go, the Classic Metallic Edge Continental Zip Around (shown above) and the Classic Metallic Edge Money, both trimmed with the shiniest of gold hardware that will make any Asian squeal with delight. Both colours perfect as far as Christmas and even the Chinese Lunar New Year that falls in February next year go, both wallets also come with enough card and cash slots to make anyone beam. The more money it can hold, the better, right?

Priced at GBP395 via Net-A-Porter, you’ll also find the matching leather bracelets online as well, the Classic Metallic Edge Bracelet and the Classic Metallic Edge Bracelet Triple Tour that are priced at GBP165 each. Perfect as gifts for loved ones (or as a worthy year-end treat for yourself), its auspicious colours also mean the elders at home will be more than happy with your purchases too.
