Balenciaga

Mini Hourglass Top Handle Bag

Founded by Spanish-born Cristóbal Balenciaga in 1917 and established in Paris in 1937, the House of Balenciaga helped define modern couture through its many innovations in form and technique.

Today, the brand continues to uphold that vision through boundary-pushing collections spanning women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, accessories, and objets d’art.

Balenciaga’s unprecedented engagement with the expanding digital realm, material innovation, and evolving social responsibilities keeps the House at the forefront of modernity.

In 2021, Balenciaga’s 50th couture collection—the House’s first since its founder retired in 1968—reintroduced a new standard of cutting-edge elegance.
