Balenciaga is a designer handbag company that makes some of the most desired handbags in the world
. The founder of the company was a man by the name of Cristobal Balenciaga who opened his first store in Spain around 1914. Most of his designs were wore by Spanish Royalty and he always made sure that his styles were unique.
Being in the handbag business is competitive because there are so many popular designer brands. A brand like Balenciaga was extremely popular a few years ago when many celebrities started to wear there Motorcycle bag. The bag itself came in several sizes and started around $700 for the smallest one.
Balenciaga as with most fashion design houses makes a variety of item inducing clothing and handbags. Like all fashion items one day you have a popular hot item and the next day your looking for that next item that will be popular. Balenciaga has been lucky to have a long run as a premier designer who uses some of the finest leather in the world. There products are not cheap but wearing one of there handbags comes with status.
Gucci now owns Balenciaga and most of there designs are inspired by them. The company, like most has had its ups and downs but they have seen great growth with there handbag division. It is not easy to keep up with the ever changing handbag trends.
Being in a high price category and competing with great companies as Louis Vuitton and Prada makes it especially challenging. In a tough economy many of these designer handbags have a hard time making a profit as well.
If you are in the market for a high end designer handbag and wants something that is different then make sure that you check into Balenciaga's new designs. You can shop in your local Neiman Marcus to see the colors and get an idea of what one of these handbags feels like.
Remember they don't charge you anything for looking so make sure you make a stop by the handbag department on your next trip to see what you have been missing.
