Balenciaga City

The City — the original motorcycle bag, launched in 2001 — built Balenciaga's modern identity on slouchy Arena leather, whipstitched handles, thimble studs and tassel zips, with no logo in sight. It was recently revived as Le City, and our pre-owned range covers both: vintage Classic City bags in the original hardware eras and the current reissue, from nano and mini up to the regular size.

Good to know

  • The leather: Arena lambskin is meant to slouch and soften; corner wear and handle darkening are the honest check points and are graded into each rank.
  • Hardware eras: classic brass, Giant 12 and Giant 21 studs mark different production years — listings photograph the hardware up close.
  • Carry: whipstitch top handles plus a removable shoulder strap; the mirror on a leather cord is the era-correct accessory and listings note whether it is included.

Every piece is checked by our team in Japan and graded on our published condition rank scale (N, S, SA, A, AB, B), and retail orders include an Entrupy Certificate of Authenticity. Stock is one of one: when a piece sells, it is gone. Sold-out pages stay up so you can compare — and if the one you want has sold, message us and we will find it for you.
