Balenciaga Cherche Top Handle Tote - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

VivaLaJuicy · July 18th, 2008, 02:14 AM

European couture name Balenciaga, is known for its lavish goods. A majority of its accessories sports gorgeous treated chevre leather in a variety of textures and colors. The designer names’ most popular line hands down has got to be the motorcycle line, and in more detail, the gorgeous motorcycle handbags. As many of you bagista’s have probably seen by now, the black handbag pictured above is not part of the brands most common line. In case you haven’t ran into this style, may I introduce to you the Cherche Top Handle Tote by Balenciaga. As I look towards my 2007 black motorcycle city (which lays on a stack of Harpers Bazaar magazines found on my bedroom floor), I hardly find any resemblances at all. The only similar feature found on both styles would have to be that leather-bound mirror, which I find so incredibly useful. Different features found on the Cherche Top Handle include, pebbled leather versus distressed motorcycle leather, and most importantly, a structured silhouette versus a supple body. If you gals love Balenciaga and dare to try something a bit different, the Cherche Top Handle could possibly be a great suggestion. Plus, right now its marked down 20% off its original retail price!

It looks like a briefcase to me. I'm not a fan.

I love Balenciaga and dream of the day I can afford one, but this one ain't for me. I think it's mostly because Bal colors are soooo amazing, so this one seems morbid to me!

Why are the handles plastic?

It looks like something I could find at Aldo for 1/5th of the price.
I love Aldo, but its just not spectacular enough for the price.

The handles are metal with leather. No plastic.

I think it is great for work.

I agree - nice work bag. But if I'm buying bal, I think I'm getting a moto bag. I don't know why, I just have a mental block about buying non-moto bals! LOL!
