A true fashion phenomenon of 2023, Balenciaga’s Hourglass bag, designed by Demna and first seen at the fall-winter 2019/2020 show, is still known for its rounded geometric lines and imposing logo. He called it the Hourglass (sablier in French), in reference to its evocative shapes.

Inspired by the house’s classic codes, and in particular the architectural aesthetics of Cristóbal Balenciaga, this handbag has quickly become a fashion icon. Evidence of this is its presence in the hands of world celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Hailey Bieber and even Celine Dion, the hourglass bag or Hourglass everywhere.

For Fall 2023, Balenciaga has designed two new variations of that bag: in gold and silver.

Demna is known for its avant-garde and surprising creations, as these handbags are entirely made of brass. They are solid handbags, and surprisingly practical, especially thanks to the nappa leather lining and the handle that converts into a detachable chain. These two exclusive models weigh 956 grams each.
