The Balmain handbags have arrived and I'm not sold on them. The first thing that is of note is that every bag is in the messenger style design. I cannot stand messenger bags. Not only are they a boring square shape they are crossbody bags (hideous on busty women) they are terribly inconvenient. You have to lift a flap and hold open while you rummage through the thing to find what you need. While I'm sure the bags workmanship is stellar, the prices are way to high for standard materials like suede and leather, with or without the stud details. The Leo embellished shoulder bag above retails for $2,920. The quilted leather bag is the least expensive of the group at $1,915, not exactly cheap. The white leather bag with tassels is $2,315 and the multi colored stud bag is a ridiculous $3,925. Now I knew the Balmain bags would expensive, but almost 4 grand for a bag that not an exotic or an Hermes Bikini...c'mon. Even Chanel isn't so presumptuous.
