Starting May 1, 2010, a price increase will be effective on selected popular Balenciaga styles. To be honest, I do not think it should happen because didn't they just have one a little while ago? I would only agree to this is if they switch back to Chevre leather, and they haven't.
Aloha Rag was kind enough to give us all a heads up on this announcement.
