Even though Balenciaga has decided to release Giant Gold Hardware in very limited amounts, they have designed an interesting leather/hardware combination: classic gold hardware and "cross-shaped slit" perforated leather! Matches Fashion has gotten this in the Work style in Anthracite!
My take on this new variation? I'm not so sure about the larger perforations, but I would like to try this in a City style. I'd probably play it safe by getting the black with gold. I would also like to see them release this hardware with the traditional leather. The regular Perfo didn't seem to be that great of a hit, as certain colors were seen in major clearance stores.

I like it!! They can do no wrong!
ReplyDeleteHi J,
ReplyDeleteI saw your post about being under the weather and hope you are feeling better! By the way, what are the clearance stores that have Bal? I haven't actually seen a Bal on sale but would definitely be interested!
Thanks!

Hey LC!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks so much! I'm finally getting over this yucky cold now. :)
In my area (Massachusetts), I've seen a Moutarde Perforated City for $900 in Filene's Basement, and a Cyclade First for $880 at TJ Maxx.
Hmm... I can't recall what the original perforated leather looked like off the top of my head, but doesn't this newer version have a basket-weave feel to it? I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, probably have to see it in person first. But I do love the small gold hardware!
ReplyDeleteI have to say not a big fan of perforated leather but it would look great in the traditional leather I reckon.
