Balenciaga Bazar Pouch
November 16, 2016No matter which sides you choose, the Bazar Shopper is a hit. Selling out on many websites and stores is a good indication of the popularity of this statement bag. However, for me, I cannot see myself braving the streets nor investing over SGD1.5K in a bag which may or may not survived this current season. Hence, I opted for the Bazar Pouch which still bears the same striking stripes while being more accessible in price. And I am glad I made that choice.
This is a striking clutch bag. Instantly recognisable and yet a joy to hold in your hands. Lightweight, roomy with just the right proportion. I can attest to the bag’s well balanced functionality and appeal. With the very positive response in terms of sales for Fall Winter 2016 pieces, the Bazar collection now comes in new colours for pre-spring 2017 (See above pic). This goes to show the design is here to stay... at least thru to next summer. So hurry, get them before they sell out again!
Pricing ★★★☆
Being ingenious to replicate the stripe pattern of a cheap laundry bag in a luxurious leather scores good points with me. I like design twists. And the craftsmanship and quality speak for themselves. Compared to similar bags in the same level of design and construction, Balenciaga is a steal. Cross fingers, they don’t raise their pricing because of the strong demand. (MatchesFashion.com sells out in the FW2016 colours and the new Pre-spring 2017 versions as well!)
