I hate it so much. And that heart-shaped mirror. The moto bag also just so does not fit the look of Balenciaga's clothes anymore. It's soooooo dated in a VERY BAD, TRAGIC way. But what does it even mean to "like" fashion anymore? I've lost the will to care. Is this just a product of age (and an ill-spent first career in the industry)?
You know I was in Saks in Manhattan the other day and I walked through the whole store. The first floor is just BAGS BAGS BAGS, so many bags, a thousand maybe two thousand? And all I could think is, "will a human being purchase at least one of each of these bags." It all feels so wasteful and I also wonder if I'm old or just appropriately influenced by all the climate change books I've read.
Yes, it looks like a bag from the Juniors Department in the neon, I like it better on Dua Lipa in the black. Out in the wilds of Suburbia, where I'm in retail, it's all about Saint Laurent, even more reasonable than Balenciaga. I'm not sure if it's celeb adjacent, and it's a bit more conservative, but that's suburbia!
The black absolutely offends me less. SL popularity makes sense! I never even think of their bags but they’ve got logos and hit that low price point (low for luxury bags, to be clear, not low in general).

It really is like a middle school version of the moto bag/city bag!
Yes! Middle school is not an era I care to revisit, personally.
