The Hourglass bag is a bag launched by Balenciaga in the autumn and winter of 2019. It draws inspiration from the brand's iconic Basque-Waist waist coat , transforming the graceful figure of women into the body lines of the bag.

The unique and recognizable Hourglass has been highly sought after by the fashion industry since its launch, and has continued to evolve in each subsequent season - with rebellious graffiti , fluffy simulated fur , and Track sneaker elements , etc. The sizes vary, including pocket-sized, slender, soft oversized, etc., and each one is very individual.







A silver metal B Logo pull ring is hung under the flap , which serves as the bag's magnetic buckle. The initials "B" of the logo mark the brand's identity in a low-key manner, which is simple and powerful.

Balenciaga's Fall 2021 collection is based on a video game called "Afterworld: The Age of Tomorrow . " The handbags are in line with the apocalyptic aesthetic of the game, emphasizing the durability of wear and the concept of sustainable re-use.
Hourglass is based on the concept of "deconstruction and reconstruction" . Black calfskin is cut into strips, and different textures such as grain, glossy, and crocodile patterns are embossed on the surface . Finally, it is pieced together to look like a cyberpunk-style mechanical armor.





Opening the flap, we can see the complete hourglass shape. The black leather with different textures reminds us of a powerful snake or a racing track. The perforated design in the details adds a touch of sporty style.




· How do I carry this bag? ·
A wide black leather shoulder strap runs across the top of the bag, which can be adjusted in length via a belt buckle, and the "Balenciaga" logo is embossed or engraved on the details.



The bag is suitable for hand-carrying or shoulder-carrying. The avant-garde shape adds a touch of street cool to you, and it can be worn by both boys and girls.


What can this bag hold?
The interior is also presented in cool black, with zippered flat pockets and open pockets to meet storage and classification needs. The three-dimensional trapezoidal structure of the Hourglass can hold some thick items. We put a notebook, pen, mobile phone, keys and card holder in it. Not only that, because the bag is stiff and tough, it is no problem to put sunglasses directly in it, and it can store the street equipment of cool girls.
