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 size is this Balenciaga Motocross Classic City Bag? A: This is the Medium version and measures approximately 38 x 24 x 15 cm. It is a practical everyday size that offers more room than the smaller City styles while still keeping the signature soft, relaxed silhouette.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With its medium proportions, it should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a phone, purse, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetic pouch and a small tablet or paperback. A small laptop may fit depending on its thickness and the zip opening, so we recommend checking your device against the Measurements listed on this page.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes. This item includes a detachable shoulder strap in addition to the dual whipstitched top handles, so it can be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This style is usually best suited to hand or shoulder carry. Crossbody fit can vary depending on your height and preferred fit, but with a strap drop of approximately 25 cm it will generally sit more like a shoulder bag than a long crossbody bag.
Q: What material and lining does this bag have? A: According to the product information, this bag is crafted in grey leather with brass hardware. The interior is lined in black fabric and includes one internal pocket, with a zip closure at the top.
Q: Is the Classic City meant to look soft and slouchy over time? A: Yes. One of the signature features of the City line is its supple, relaxed construction, which tends to soften and develop character with wear. Gentle slouching, creasing and a lived-in look are often considered part of the appeal of vintage Balenciaga City bags.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This piece is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows visible scuffing and wear on the edges, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate impression of its current condition.
Q: How should I care for vintage Balenciaga leather? A: We recommend gentle handling. Wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaning products, and keep the bag away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat and excess moisture. Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use to help maintain its shape, and take extra care around the corners and hardware.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes a detachable shoulder strap. If anything else is included, it will be shown in the product information for this listing.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is carefully inspected by in-house experts. Authentication is based on a detailed review of the leather, construction, hardware, stamps and other design details associated with the Balenciaga City line.
