Balenciaga Fall/Winter 19 Show & Spring/Summer 20 Lookbook
B. Metal Logo
The Touch bag debuted at the 2019 Fall/Winter show , continuing Balenciaga's signature sculptural silhouette. The bag is named "Touch" to indicate that it feels really comfortable, thanks to the quilting process, which fills the nappa leather with soft padding and then sews a diamond pattern through the seams, making the bag look full and plump. After taking over as creative director in 2016, Demna Gvasalia created high-profile items for the brand, such as the Frakta tote bag in the shape of an IKEA shopping bag. In the latest two seasons, the handbag design has become more restrained, and the use of the logo has been continuously simplified.

The front of the bag is decorated with a small B. Metal studs indicate the brand's initials, and the dot in the lower right corner distinguishes it from other brands starting with B, adding a little sense of humor.
Cast in antique brass, the outlined lettering makes the metal look more aged, and the full name BALENCIAGA is discreetly engraved on the side.
The inside is opened and closed with a magnetic buckle , and the anti-slip sheet makes the lock firm and not easy to slip off.
· Diamond quilting·
The bag is made of Nappa calfskin , which has a smooth surface and excellent flexibility, and feels very comfortable. The bag body is made of quilting technology , which fills the inside with soft material and creates a diamond pattern with stitching , making it look full and plump.
The trapezoidal outline that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom gives the bag a better sense of balance. The soft lines reveal a lazy temperament, and the inflatable fluffy texture not only emphasizes the shape of the bag, but also makes it look lighter visually.
· How do I carry this bag? ·
The simple messenger bag has no extra decorations. The bag body gradually narrows from bottom to top, and the shoulder strap is directly inserted through the top ring and fixed. The old brass ring echoes the B. logo. The shoulder strap can be adjusted in length, and it can be carried on one shoulder or crossbody , or the strap can be put into the bag and held directly at the side as a handbag .
What can this bag hold?
There is a zippered outer pocket on the back, which can be used to store mobile phones and other personal belongings, which is convenient and safe. The interior is designed with a large compartment . The calfskin itself has good ductility. The snaps on the side can also be opened to expand the bag body space. The design is very considerate. The zippered inner pocket on the back is used to store bank cards, keys and other valuables.
We put a wallet, notebook, pen, mobile phone, makeup mirror, perfume, lip gloss, etc. in the bag, so it is stress-free for daily use. The light body and slightly aura appearance make it very suitable for commuting.
