The first taste of Alexander Wang’s creation for Balenciaga was the Le Dix Collection – a series of feminine chic accessories, streamlined and butterly smooth. I really like the ‘Le Dix Bags’ but my heart and loyalty, is still with the motorcycle bags; the Classic City, Classic Town, Classic Part time. Once you go for motorcycles, you simply don’t return.
But let’s chit chat about the Spring Summer 2014 Collection; from all the new bag releases I’ve seen, it’s the Balenciaga Ray Doctor Bag that have captured my attention, mainly because it’s looks so simple yet sophisticated and modern with a touch of elegant. The signature Balenciaga Paris is crafted on the silver plate and it’s made to hold only by hand. Unfortunately I didn’t saw any shoulder strap, it would be more convenient if they embellished it, but I think it would have totally ruined the design.
It has a shape to hold decent essentials, an iPad would certainly fit, but not your summer jacket. What I find interesting is that a lot of brands have already released the Spring Summer 2014 Collection, but Balenciaga is holding the Ray Doctor Bag back. There’s zero information on their website and I wondered whether it was released or not, but you can find the black version in their boutique.
I was also informed that the black and Rose Boudoir (as seen on the pics) will be made available online, but this can take a several weeks. Therefore we publish it early on, in case you spend your personal monthly allowance somewhere else. It’s currently priced at $2,650 USD.
Let us know what you think.
