Balenciaga has been in the news lately for a great deal of reasons – first, the departure of innovative director Nicolas Ghesquiere, then rumors of his successor, as well as then the installation of Alexander Wang as the brand’s next leader. We’ve got some more bag-specific news, though, as well as you may want to checked out carefully if you’re believing about buying a Balenciaga bag with increased gold hardware – it’s about to trip off into the sunset. On the other hand, if you’ve been pining for the routine gold of yesteryear, you may be in luck.
On Neiman Marcus’ blog NMDaily, Sarah Bray composes that come spring 2013 bags, Balenciaga will cease to offer the increased gold hardware that’s ended up being so prominent in recent seasons. In its place, bright gold will come back for the foreseeable future. (In Balenciaga hardware terms, that usually means the next two years or so, however who understands with Wang’s advent?) Personally, I’m unfortunate to see the increased gold go – the bright gold of the past felt gaudy to me, as well as the subtle color of its increased counterpart always felt more appropriate on the Balenciaga aesthetic. No word on exactly how hardware sizes will be impacted – if you understand more, let us understand in the comments.
Want to stock up on increased gold before it disappears? Neiman Marcus has a big choice of leather colors as well as bag styles offered with the soon-to-be-gone hardware color, however our preferred is the fundamental black above.
