Some New Style Redesigns for S/S 2012

So not only we do we a huge change with the G12 Hardware (Mini Giant Hardware), some styles have gotten a revamp for S/S 12.  Thought it would be fun to take a peek of before and afters!

The Classic Ballet Flat has been Bal fans'
 main source of comfy shoes for the last couple of years.

Before:
Available here in Grenadine
 After:
Available here in Glycine.  
With fewer studs, thicker sole and a pointier toe.
Before:
The Balenciaga Covered Ballerina Flat had a thin sole..
After:
Balenciaga got smart by adding a thicker sole, a pointier toe 
and removing a lot of the studs since they got damaged easily.


Balenciaga did a beautiful job with designing a 
gorgeous wedge espadrille sandal for S/S 2011.

Before:
Left available here & Right available here 
After:
In Gris Poivre available here

In Vert Poker available here

One the most fave messenger styles that Balenciaga came out with was the Folk:

Before:
Still available in black here

After:

It is now called the Neo Folk and it comes in both Classic Hardware here and G12 Hardware here!


Before:
The Classic Day has become a fave hobo style bag:
After:
Meet its new big sister.. a larger sized Day with a few minor tweaks!
Available at Alduca D'aosta

  1. Oh I love the new wedges....but not much else :( Does this mean they won't have the day anymore? I don't like it's new version.

  2. The classic day is still available! I guess they introduced a larger version! :)

  3. Fantastic post, great comparisons! I love how Balenciaga redesigned their flats -- they basically fixed everything that prevented me from buying them before. :) Have you tried them on in person yet?
