Balenciaga Brilliant Pouchette Bague | Geometric Black Lizard Leather Clutch

Posted on: May 18

Nothing's as slick and stylish as patent-shine lizard leather. Balenciaga has managed to make it even chicer with shiny silver studded plate hardware on the front of their Brilliant Pouchette Bague.

Horizontal seams and a thin vertical strap flap add to the geometric look of the bag, which is modern and fresh.

Even the interior is leather, and features an open pocket and two compartments. I'm not sure how much they'll hold with the 1.5 inch depth of the clutch, but this piece really isn't about practicality, is it?

Adding to the impracticality is the price tag: $2,675. You're obviously paying for a piece of Nicholas Ghesquiere's vision for Balenciaga, not the 6 x 6.5 inch clutch. And for those who can afford this bag, I'm sure that's just fine.
