Balenciaga Drops Metal Hourglass XS Bags
Fully functional bags available in gold and silver brass.
Balenciaga, known for its obscure designs and unique craftsmanship, from synthetic mud-covered trainers to couture runway garments has just launched its latest out-of-the-ordinary offerings — two examples of its Hourglass XS in “Metal.”
Available in both Silver and Gold the brand shares that the Hourglass Metal XS bags are constructed using 100% brass, weigh roughly 956 grams or 2.1 pounds and are fully functional as they feature a Nappa lambskin lining.
Priced at £16,950 GBP or nearly $21,500 USD, it’s easy to see how this bag might also be displayed as a collectible art item and never actually worn. That being said, the bag shares the same dimensions and functionality as any other Hourglass XS and comes with the same removable chain and magnet closure.
However, if you simply enjoy the metallic finish of the bag and want to wear it, you might opt for the Hourglass XS “Mirror Effect in Silver,” a bag that costs only a fraction of the price at £1,650 GPB or $2,100 USD.
If your heart is set on the Metal bags though, you can visit Balenciaga’s official site to pre-order the Hourglass Metal XS in silver or order the gold colorway of the brass bag now.
