Ideal for on-the-go days, the Balenciaga Small Superbusy Sling offers hands-free ease for city errands, gallery visits or weekend travel. In black Arena lambskin with silver-tone hardware, it complements off-duty looks and sleek streetwear alike.
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 are the key features of the Small Superbusy Sling Bag? A: Crafted in Balenciaga’s Arena lambskin with aged silver-tone hardware, it features a double-zip main compartment, a single adjustable sling strap, cotton canvas lining, and multiple exterior pockets designed for quick access to essentials. Made in Italy.
Q: How much does it hold day to day? A: It comfortably carries daily essentials such as a large smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, hand sanitiser, and sunglasses in a soft pouch. Several exterior pockets help organise smaller items. For exact capacity, please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: How can I wear it and is the strap adjustable? A: The single sling strap is adjustable for a close, body-hugging carry. Wear it across the chest, across the back, or on the shoulder. Check the strap drop listed under Measurements to gauge your preferred fit.
Q: What pockets does it have and what are they for? A: The design includes two zipped pockets on the front, a small case sized for AirPods Pro, a built-in card holder, side pockets (one flap, one zip), pockets on the strap for quick-grab items, and a zipped pocket at the back. These keep travel cards, earbuds, and keys neatly separated.
Q: Is the closure secure? A: Yes. The bag uses a double-ended zipped closure for the main compartment, and most exterior compartments are zipped or snapped, helping keep belongings secure while on the move.
Q: What is Arena lambskin and how should I care for it? A: Arena lambskin is a supple leather with a naturally crinkled, lived-in finish. To care for it, wipe gently with a soft, dry, light-coloured cloth, keep it away from liquids and oils, avoid prolonged exposure to light and heat, and minimise friction against contrasting colours to reduce colour transfer.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or e‑reader? A: This small sling is optimised for phones and compact essentials rather than full-size tablets. A slim e‑reader or mini tablet may fit depending on its case, but we recommend checking the Measurements to be sure.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: How should I store it when not in use? A: Store it loosely stuffed to support its shape, inside the dust bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep hardware away from impact and avoid contact with harsh chemicals.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logo stamps and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide further details on request.
