Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Balenciaga First Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 32 x 17 x 5 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, lip products and a few small personal items. It can also take slim extras like a small notebook, but it is not designed for bulkier items such as a laptop or large water bottle.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece has dual top handles as well as a detachable shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder. With a strap drop of about 20 cm, it is generally better suited to shoulder carry rather than true crossbody wear on most adults.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap and a matching mirror. If another item is not listed in the product information on this page, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How does the First compare with the Balenciaga City bag? A: The First is a more compact take on Balenciaga’s classic Motorcycle style. It offers the same signature slouchy look in a smaller, lighter format that suits day-to-evening use. The City is roomier and usually better if you carry more throughout the day.
Q: Is the Balenciaga First practical for everyday use? A: Yes, if you usually carry the essentials rather than heavier extras. Owners often find the First comfortable and surprisingly roomy for its size, but it is better for a lighter everyday edit than for work items or larger pouches.
Q: What is the mirror for? A: The hanging mirror is a signature detail on many Balenciaga Motorcycle bags. Some owners keep it attached for the full vintage look, whilst others store it inside the bag to help protect it and stop it catching on the zip.
Q: How should I care for vintage Balenciaga leather? A: Use a soft dry cloth for regular dusting and keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, heat and water. If deeper cleaning is needed, test any leather cleaner or conditioner on a discreet area first, as vintage distressed leather can react differently depending on age and finish. When not in use, store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What should I know about the condition of this specific bag? A: This piece is listed in very good condition with light traces of use to the exterior, stains inside and shiny hardware with light scratches. As with most vintage Balenciaga bags, minor variations in shape, softness and finish are part of the bag’s character and age.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: A Retro Tale states that its bags are checked and verified by in-house experts with long experience in vintage and luxury bags, and the company also uses a third-party authentication tool. If you would like extra reassurance, you can contact the team for more product information before purchase.
