Adorably chic, Balenciaga’s Le City Mini decidedly makes zero compromises on style despite its petite proportions. A versatile everyday handbag, it’s a staple in a line-up that continues to capture the hearts of fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
The compact style is available in Black, Optic White and Petal Pink in Arena Storico lambskin. This choice of crinkled leather is synonymous with Balenciaga’s dominance of early 2000s fashion. It carries a grunge-like appeal while staying resistant to potential scratches that might arise from daily use.
Measuring 24 cm wide and 16 cm high, its delicate size requires a mindful approach when packing for a day or evening out. Everything goes within the interior compartment, which holds essentials like SLGs and beauty touch-ups. Then zip the Le City Mini shut via its signature knotted leather pull.
The standard Le City Mini retails at SGD2750, except for a special edition in black Arena Storico lambskin at SGD4150. That’s because it comes with an assortment of playful charms, including the Eiffel Tower, crystal hearts and Balenciaga logo-engraved keys.
