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 Mini City Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 29 × 19 × 8.5 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, passport, and a few small beauty items. It feels roomy for a compact day bag, but it is not designed for bulky items or a laptop.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This piece has dual top handles and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximately 58 cm drop, so it can usually be worn on the shoulder or crossbody depending on your height and preferred fit.
Q: Why is the Balenciaga City bag such an iconic style? A: The City bag is one of Balenciaga’s most recognisable designs, known for its soft moto-inspired look, braided handles, long zip pulls, and studded hardware. The house reintroduced the line as Le City on 11 April 2024, which underlines the design’s lasting popularity.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap and tags. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the Product information for this item.
Q: Does this bag include the signature Balenciaga mirror? A: Many City bags are known for a mirror detail, but it is not listed in the Product information for this specific piece. Unless otherwise stated, you should assume only the items named on this page are included.
Q: What materials and details does this bag have? A: This bag is crafted in white leather with gold-tone hardware, dual handles, a detachable shoulder strap, black fabric lining, and a zip closure. It is made in Italy.
Q: How should I care for white leather? A: Light leather benefits from gentle handling. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after use, store it in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from dark denim and heavily dyed fabrics to help reduce colour transfer, and avoid harsh cleaners or prolonged direct sunlight.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use, the inside has a small mark, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does the bag have a serial number or authenticity code? A: No serial number is listed in the product information for this item. On Balenciaga bags, details such as interior tags, hardware, leather quality, and overall construction are used during authentication, and A Retro Tale carefully vets every item before sale.
