I don’t know what other people think about bags with writing all over them, but I somehow missed the bandwagon for this trend.
I’m not sure why designers have thought, “Yes, let’s put letters and cartoon-ish looking things on an expensive bag then try to sell them to people over the age of 12. Yes, that’s a great idea.”
I do not understand this phenomenon. Let’s say, for argument’s sake, I am going on a trip and I want a bag that’s crazy and different that shows I’m in the fun, travel, let my hair down and make out with a rando from Greece kind of mood (not based on actual events*). Given the circumstance, I would still not pick up this alphabet cluster of a bag and say, “Perfect, now the world will know I am here for sex, drugs and rock and roll. Also, I know my ABC’s.”
Don’t get me wrong, Balenciaga does a whole lot in the “yes” department. But unless you plan on gifting this to your annoying niece who keeps asking you “what comes after d,” I say slob all the way.
If you’d like to brush up on your letters, you can pick up the Balenciaga Daim Alphabet Tote at Barneys for $1,795.00
