I am a big big fan of Balenciaga motorcycle bags, be it Work, City or Twiggy or most of its incarnations but I do not like patchworks in general so the City Patchwork bags never did it for me. The other problem is that the patchwork is even more expensive mostly then the other more beautiful bags so I don’t know who will buy them. Yet Balenciaga always offers a a few patchwork bags in their collections. The blue tones City Patchwork for the Spring/Summer 2010 though, is for the first time, the patchwork that does not hurt my eyes. Will I ever buy it? NO! But it is more bearable than most I have seen. It costs GBP1,475, almost 600Pounds more than the standard City.
