The Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag


For eons, I have been lusting after the Balenciaga motorcycle bag in dark gray or dark blue , and now, thanks to Bag Snob (www.bagsnob.com) I have a hankering for the bag in rose and brown also. (I know-but a girl can dream can't she)? For you that don't know about the famed Balenciaga motorcycle bag it's sometimes called the Le Dix and it has been around since about 2001. The bag was designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere, a truly amazing designer. I love the bag because of it's soft distressed leather (it only gets better with age) and the rocker edgyness that I admit takes me back to my "groupie" days. Ahhhh, good times. (A special shoutout to Miss Pamela Des Barres, Queen of the groupies- girl,you still rock)! The price is a little out of my budget but I'm saving up for it. If you are a true fashionista, and have never read The Bag Snob - shame on you. Tina and Kelly do all the legwork to bring us the latest and greatest bags in an interesting and entertaining way. Go now, you won't regret it.
