The Balenciaga city tote is one of most coveted handbags by fashion house Balenciaga. The Balenciaga city tote is a medium sized satchel that offers both top handles and a removable shoulder strap. The colors that Baleciaga is showing for Fall are divine and downright scrumptious.

Balenciaga is showing Bois de Rose, Seigle, Blue Roi, Cypress, Castagna and Pivone for Fall. These beautiful colors pop and blend well into this Fall's overall color scheme for both the vintage trend and the minimalism trend. In addition to Balenciaga's seasonal colors, the city tote will be offered in Noir, Bronze, Anthracite and Sahara. The classic colors from Balenciaga's handbag line are in every BBag lovers collection and are a must for any Fashionista dipping into Balenciaga territory this Fall.

The City Tote by Balenciaga is offered in three different styles: regular hardware, giant silver hardware and giant covered hardware. The regular hardware city tote has small rivets at the joints of the handbag and offers long tassles in place of pulls for the zippers. Balenciaga's city tote with regular hardware is the most casual and slouchy of the city tote family. Balenciaga's city tote with giant silver hardware offers a dressier look with large, silver rivets at the joints. The zippers have small leather pulls and the handbag has an overall flashier look than the regular hardware style. Balenciaga's city tote with giant silver hardware, when worn by the top handles, fits well into this season's lady bag trend for Fashionistas who want a more casual alternative to the structured lady bag trend. Lastly, Balenciaga's giant covered hardware offers large rivets covered by leather and has perforation along the seams. This is the most feminine of the city tote styles and also works well with this Fall's lady bag trend when paired with full skirts and a body consicous sweater.

Balenciaga's City Tote has an inside zipper pocket as well as an outside zipper pocket. The bag can be worn casual and over the shoulder with weekend looks. Balenciaga offers versatility by making the shoulder strap removable. The city tote, when worn by the top handles, creates a more polished and dressy look. Bottom line: the Balenciaga City Tote is like two bags in one!
