Balenciaga Classic City — Giant 12 Gold Hardware | Jaune Yellow | c. 2009 A rare and striking piece from Balenciaga’s most coveted archive era. This is the Classic City in Jaune — a bold, saturated yellow that appeared in extremely limited runs and rarely surfaces in this silhouette. Paired with the Giant 12 (G12) oversized gold hardware, the combination is exceptionally hard to find: most GHW Cities from this period came in neutrals, making a statement colour like this a genuine collector’s find. The bag carries the character you’d expect from a well-loved archive City — the leather has developed a beautiful broken-in softness, and the body shows the natural fading and patina that comes with age and use. There is visible discoloration on the handles, this is disclosed transparently and reflected in the pricing. The interior is clean with no significant staining, and all hardware and zips function correctly. • Style: Classic City • Hardware: Giant 12 (G12) Oversized Gold — chequerboard textured studs • Colour: Jaune (Yellow) • Year: c. 2009 • Serial: attached • Made in Italy • Condition: Good vintage — patina on leather body, handle discoloration noted • Includes: Detachable shoulder strap Rare colourway.
