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 measurements of approximately 33 × 18 × 5 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a mobile phone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses, and a few beauty items. It is a compact style rather than a large day bag, so bulkier items will be a tight fit.
Q: Is the Balenciaga First considered a small size? A: Yes. The First is generally regarded as one of the smaller classic Balenciaga Motorcycle styles. It offers a lighter, more compact silhouette than roomier styles such as the City, while still holding the essentials comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece has dual handles and a detachable shoulder strap. With a strap drop of approximately 20 cm, it is best for hand carry or short shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear for most people.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: This piece comes with a detachable shoulder strap and mirror, as listed in the product information on this page.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a zip closure, black textile lining, and one internal pocket, making it easy to keep smaller essentials separated inside.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior has a minor mark on the leather, the interior shows a light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for vintage Balenciaga leather? A: Store the bag away from direct light, dust, and moisture, avoid overfilling it, and gently wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth after use. Vintage Balenciaga leather is known for softening and developing a more relaxed shape over time, so careful storage will help preserve its finish and structure.
Q: Is this an everyday bag? A: It can work very well as an everyday bag if you prefer to carry only the essentials. Many Balenciaga collectors like the First for its lightweight feel and easy-to-carry shape, but if you need space for larger items, a bigger style may be more practical.
Q: How is a Balenciaga First bag authenticated? A: Authentic examples are usually checked through details such as the interior stamp or production tag, hardware, mirror, leather, and overall construction. At A Retro Tale, every item is professionally authenticated before listing. If you would like more specific product information about this piece, we recommend requesting it before purchase.
