The Balenciaga Work is the most favorite bag I have owned so far and it is indeed hard to top it given its quality, leather and attitude, let alone its unique color as once it sells out, there is no way you would be able to find the same color in another season (except for Nero color, maybe). Also, the texture of the leather feels distinct from season to season, which explains why Balenciaga bags are collectibles. The point is; if you do come across a color and leather you like of a Balenciaga bag, you should just go ahead an get it, which I did and I am a very very happy customer.

For the pre-spring/summer 2010, the color choices are already out since November last year and the bags are now out in selected stores around the world (including in the Hilton Singapore outlet since early this month). The colors available are Black, Truffle (dark brown), Anthracite (dark grey), Pommier (dirty green), Cyclade (soft dirty blue), Sang (blood red), Sorbet (soft pink), Sahara (dirty beige), Tomate (orangy red) and Outremer (shocking blue). Some of the colors are already available in Barneys. Balenciaga Work bag is priced at USD1,595 at Barneys.
