Yes, it’s back, and even more colourful than ever before. What am I talking about? Well, Balenciaga’s runway hit, the Bazar, of course. Ever since it was first spotted coming down the runway to much mockery and ridicule, the unexpected (much like the 2016 US presidential elections) has happened. Not only was it almost always sold out when it was first launched, Balenciaga is back with even more colour combinations for this tote for Cruise 2017.

Available in 3 different sizes, this one, the Bazar XL, is also the largest, coming in at almost 55 cm across by 48 cm in height, with this one striped Black/Bold Red/Petrol/White for a colour combination that would work well for both men and women. If this is too big, go for one size down, or even smaller for the one that comes with an additional leather sling that’s actually rather adorable.

Priced at GBP1595 and available via Net-A-Porter now (or check out Balenciaga boutiques locally at Hilton Shopping Gallery, Marina Bay Sands and Paragon), this full-leather tote is admittedly something you either love, or hate, but as far as Balenciaga’s Bazar is concerned, I’m with it.
