HISTORY
Introduced during the mid-2000s under creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, the Balenciaga City became one of the defining handbags of the era. Its soft, distressed leather and industrial hardware marked a decisive shift away from rigid, logo-driven luxury toward a more relaxed, lived-in aesthetic. The Giant City Mini preserves the original biker codes in a compact format, distinguished by oversized hardware and a scaled-down silhouette that reflects the growing popularity of mini bags in Balenciaga’s archival lineup.
