Handbag designers take note. This is not how you do patchwork. This is not how you treat expensive exotic materials. This Balmain Rock Leather and Crocodile Patchwork Shoulder Bag is, in short, a lesson in what not to do.
Perhaps I’m being a bit harsh, but this Balmain bag just makes no sense to me. Its materials are first class, but cut into irregular swatches and surrounded by sequins they just look cheap. Given this purse’s name I suppose Balmain was shooting for a rock and roll, devil may care attitude but I think it missed the mark.
It only looks cheap though, my friends. This Balmain bag comes in at more than $8000. That’s a lot of money to spend on any exotic accessory, but when the precious skins are chopped up as they are here it’s downright absurd.
If you’re searching for reasons to throw your money away on this you might look to the rich looking golden chain straps. You might salivate over the black satin lining, and appreciate all the space this bag affords. You might even gaze wistfully at the cute B zipper pull on the interior pocket.
You know I’m clutching at straws. You can find all those kind of perks on a more attractive and more affordable bag. Sorry Balmain, there’s nothing for us here.
