Balenciaga Classic Day Bag in Pourpre

Balenciaga bags are like a bad (or good) habit I just can't seem to kick. Over the years, I've collected many of them. Every season holds the promise of newer, more fabulous colors to entice me. This fall is no different with the addition of this gorgeous hue called pourpre. I respectfully disagree with it being named 'purple'. I'd call it more of a 'scarlett' red, but that's just me. The fact is, this and pretty much any other color Nicholas Ghesquière and his design team offer aficionados year after year are stunning to behold. As you can tell from this pic of my current collection, I am more than familiar with the colorful side of Balenciaga. You should be as well. I'm eyeing the Day Bag, by far the most roomy and relaxed of all the classic B-bag silhouettes, in pourpre. If this color isn't for you, don't worry. I'm sure you'll find a color and shape you'll love.

Michael, this one's for you ;-)
