HISTORY
Introduced in the early-to-mid 2000s under creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, the Balenciaga City redefined luxury handbags through softness, movement, and utilitarian detail. Departing from rigid, logo-driven designs of the era, the City became emblematic of a new, effortless approach to luxury. Frequently seen on models and creatives throughout the decade, the Small City retains the original design codes in a more compact, everyday format, preserving its cultural and archival relevance.
