Balenciaga Classic First — Cream Lambskin, Aged Brass Hardware, Circa 2007–2008 An original Nicolas Ghesquière-era Classic First (ref. 103208) from the house's defining Motorcycle line. This is the bag that made Balenciaga a cult label: the smallest of the original Motorcycle silhouettes, in the thin, veined, slouchy Arena lambskin that later production never matched. This example is in a pale cream-stone shade with Classic aged brass studs, buckles and rings. It still has its signature whipstitched handles, tassel zip pulls and the original leather-framed mirror. Details • Model: Classic First, ref. 103208 • Leather: distressed Arena lambskin • Hardware: Classic aged brass • Closure: top zip; exterior front zip pocket • Interior: black canvas lining, one zip pocket, engraved Balenciaga Paris plaque • Carry: two rolled top handles (approx. 12.5 cm drop) or detachable flat shoulder strap • Dimensions: approx. 33 × 18 × 6 cm • Made in Italy • Includes: original mirror, shoulder strap Condition: Good, with honest vintage wear. Please see all photos. • Handles: darkening and light green/ink-toned marks on the handles and handle tabs, typical of aged pale lambskin • Corners: greyish rubbing on the base corners, but the leather is intact with no holes • Body: scattered light spotting and patina across the leather • Strap: small dark mark at one strap end near the hook • Mirror: glass intact, light marks on the leather surround • Hardware: even aged-brass patina throughout, as intended for this era • Structure: holds its shape well; zips run smoothly; lining clean Pre-2009 First bags in pale shades are getting harder to find with their mirror still included. This one has the original early-era leather and the character that only comes with age.
