Balenciaga’s 2025 Fall/Winter collection has also been released, alongside its fashion sneakers. The Balenciaga Rodeo bag is very popular, and Shebag’s workshop has produced many of them. At the same time, Shebag has also prepared some new models for this Fall/Winter season, such as the Carrie bag, all of which can be found by searching under 25FW.

Shebag has been producing Balenciaga bags for 14 years and has deep expertise in both leather and craftsmanship.

Leather Selection and Treatment

• Balenciaga’s most iconic material is lambskin, especially the soft lambskin used in the classic “Motorcycle Bag/Balenciaga City Bag” series.
• This leather undergoes special tanning and repeated kneading, creating a unique vintage look and flexibility. It feels lightweight and supple in hand, with a stylish “worn-in” effect.
• In recent years, Balenciaga has also used calfskin, grained leather, smooth leather, nylon, and sustainable materials, but the core emphasis remains on a light, soft, and relaxed leather feel.

Cutting and Structural Design

• Balenciaga’s bag shapes often emphasize a relaxed, unstructured form, unlike Hermès or Chanel, which stress structured silhouettes.
• For example, the Motorcycle Bag is deliberately designed with a naturally slouched, casually wrinkled look, presenting a street-style feel.
• Some newer designs, such as the Hourglass series, use precise cutting and stiff leathers to create smooth curves and a sculptural form.

Stitching and Handcrafted Details

• A hallmark of Balenciaga craftsmanship is slightly casual hand stitching, intentionally not pursuing machine-like perfection, to complement the vintage aesthetic.
• On the Motorcycle Bag, reinforcement rivets, zippers, and strap stitching all exhibit a rougher style, echoing the leather’s “distressed treatment.”
• However, for high-end bespoke models (exotic skins, limited editions), the stitching maintains extreme precision and uniformity.

Hardware and Embellishments

• The Motorcycle Bag’s hardware is iconic: rivets, zipper pulls, and buckles, usually treated with vintage oxidation for a matte finish.
• Unlike Chanel’s shiny hardware, Balenciaga emphasizes a worn, aged effect, in line with its street aesthetic.
• Newer designs like the Hourglass and Crush bags adopt large metal logo embellishments, with solid, bold hardware for a more modern feel.
