Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this item.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This specific item is described with dual braided top handles, and the product information lists a mirror. As no strap is listed in the product details, you should expect this bag to be carried by hand or on the arm unless otherwise confirmed by customer service.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information for this item lists a mirror. If another item is not mentioned in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage bag? A: This bag is rated in good condition. The leather shows wear and scuffing around the buckle, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage Balenciaga City bags, gentle signs of wear are normal and part of the character of the piece.
Q: Does this bag have useful compartments? A: Yes. According to the product details, it features an exterior front zip pocket, one interior zip pocket, and a top zip closure. This makes it practical for organising smaller essentials while keeping the main compartment secure.
Q: Why is the Balenciaga City bag so popular? A: The City bag is one of Balenciaga’s most recognisable designs, loved for its relaxed shape, braided handles, zip details, and moto-inspired hardware. It became especially iconic in the early 2000s and remains a favourite for collectors and lovers of vintage designer bags.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: For regular care, wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, excess moisture, prolonged sunlight, and heat. When not in use, store it in a protective dust bag or another breathable covering, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Because this is a vintage leather bag, careful storage and gentle handling will help preserve its finish.
Q: Is the mirror original to the Balenciaga City design? A: Yes, the hanging mirror is one of the signature details often associated with the Balenciaga City line. On this item, the mirror is included and listed in the product information.
Q: How do you authenticate a Balenciaga City bag? A: At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity by specialists. For Balenciaga City bags, key checks typically include the leather, construction, hardware, studs, buckles, zipper details, and overall finishing. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
