Description

Balenciaga's "Mini city bag" is, as its name suggests, a city bag, practical and easy to carry. It is worn either on the shoulder or across the body. This small, limited-edition orange zippered handbag is the perfect splash of color for a trendy look. This bag is made of fine orange leather, a strap also in leather (the size can be changed) connected to the bag by two golden rings, a small pocket on the outside, in addition to a zipped one on the inside, and a mirror, attached to it, made for the last little touches of make-up, when you're in town.
