The Verdict: For Balenciaga’s Cruise 2013 collection, only ONE bag was seen coming down the runway presentation. Rather similar in terms of the sportier feel with the push clasp portfolio-esque bags from Balenciaga’s Fall/Winter 2012-13 collection, but more versatile and much smaller in terms of size. The bag can either be worn as a clutch or on the shoulder and comes either in exotic skins, solid colours, or with a racing stripe down the mid-section of the bag.

Personally, I’d use it as a clutch because, on the shoulder, it tends to look, well, rather plain, and a tad too common.
