You can always count on Balenciaga to turn the everyday into a statement. Case in point, its latest Select Tote bags that transform practicality into show-stopping style. Introduced as part of the fall 2026 collection, it reworks a familiar silhouette in the brand’s boldest graphic language.
Crafted in Italy from coated canvas with leather trims and double handles, the carryall handles daily life with ease. Roomy interiors hold a laptop, notebook and all the essentials, and it also comes with a detachable zipper pouch for valuables. The cotton canvas lining prints the house’s historic address: ‘Balenciaga Paris, 10 AV George V, 75008’.
What really sets the Select Tote apart, however, is its artwork. Balenciaga’s handwritten-style monogram spans the entire exterior, further layered with bold runway graphics from fall 2026. Think historical maison addresses, floating illustrations and psychedelic fonts, turning each bag into a functional canvas. Finally, a blind-debossed Balenciaga logo and semi-shiny palladium hardware complete the finish.
Besides the totes, the wider Select capsule further reimagines small leather goods through the same lens. Items include wallets, a cardholder and a passport holder, all carrying the same bold graphic treatment.
The tote bag comes in two practical sizes. The medium measures 34 cm wide by 26 cm high, with a 16 cm depth. Choose from either the signature Balenciaga address artwork in white or a vibrant red vintage surfer print. Both come with tan leather handles, and retail at SGD2345 and SGD2410 respectively.
For an oversized carry measuring 42 cm by 33 cm by 20 cm, the large Select Tote comes in at SGD2575. Designs include the yellow and blue building artwork inspired by looks 53 and 81 from Balenciaga’s fall 2026 collection. Meanwhile, look 13’s striking orange door motif offers a bolder counterpoint. Whichever version you pick, this is one everyday bag that refuses to be ordinary.
