#PFW: Balenciaga FW17 Bags Report

The Verdict: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Demna Gvasalia does it again! I mean, seriously, first it was those Chinese and Thai market bags, and now these super oversized bags, which Victoria Beckham could probably fit into! And don’t even get me started on the oversized white feathered one with black specks, which looks like some vile disease that has to be quarantined, stat!  I love Wang, but seriously this oversized thing that he has got going for Balenciaga, has got to stop! Apart from these gargantuan bags, the other day bags are office-friendly, and the small flap bag with the interlacing scarf and chainlink shoulder strap was rather Vuitton FW16. For me, the only redeeming ones were his evening clutches – I love both the bi-colour hard cased one, as well as the oval-shaped one which looks like he used the metal sheets that are commonly used for industrial flooring and service elevators. Love. That said, though, I don’t really see a thematic correlation between any of the bags because they’re all SO different.
