The bag that made Balenciaga a cult house. This is the First (style 103208), the most compact of the original Motorcycle silhouettes. It comes from the early Nicolas Ghesquière years, when the leather was thin, veined and slouchy, and each bag broke in differently. This example has the early interior engraved metal plaque (BALENCIAGA / N° 3602 / 103208 / PARIS). Later production dropped this detail, and collectors look for it specifically. It also has the original leather interior tag, stamped "103208 · 2130 48, Made in Italy." Hardware: classic antiqued studs, buckles and zip pulls. Features: whipstitched rolled handles, detachable shoulder strap with the signature shaped shoulder pad, front zip pocket, interior zip pocket, flat leather tassels. Lining: black canvas. Included: Original leather-framed mirror, detachable shoulder strap, and an Entrupy Certificate of Authenticity.
