Balenciaga Bolero Bowling and Le 7 Shoulder Bags

Balenciaga Bolero Bowling Bag Pierpaolo Piccioli’s first designed bag for Balenciaga—the Bolero—was introduced within the Summer 26 Collection, on the Paris runway alongside reenvisioned classics. The Balenciaga Bolero explores the House’s leathercraft heritage and interprets the archive’s architectural volumes, named for a seminal design by Cristóbal Balenciaga himself. The Balenciaga Bolero Bag comes in medium and mini sizes, in black, curry, rose quartz, or cream smooth calfskin lined with nappa lambskin and adorned with aged gold hardware. It is available in select Balenciaga stores worldwide and on  balenciaga.com. Balenciaga Le 7 Shoulder Bag Balenciaga’s Le 7 Bag made its debut on the runway, part of Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s first collection for the House. The show—The Heartbeat, Summer 26—took place in Paris’s seventh arrondissement, a district of cultural landmarks, mannered charm, and quintessentially Parisian architecture. Reflective of the versatile silhouettes that have become Balenciaga Couture codes, this bag is timeless, sophisticated, yet unconventional: a modern icon named for a historic French neighborhood. The medium-sized Balenciaga Le 7 Soft Shoulder Bag—in black, curry, or biscuit-colored smooth calfskin lined with suede in deep shapes, or in moka suede lined with ruby nappa lambskin—is available now in select Balenciaga stores worldwide and on  balenciaga.com .
