balenciaga-alphabet-bag.jpgBalenciaga rarely get it wrong with their ultra chic accessories, but this latest design may be teetering on the fine line between "innovative" and "inappropriate"! It seems the label is picking up on the trend for letters and initials on bags (thinks Renee Zellweger's personalised Prada tote) but I'm not sure I like the execution of this one.

I think it's the collage-y look that is deterring me from liking this bag. I honestly don't think I've liked that look since I was in the sixth form, and used it to customise my rough book, and would prefer a cleaner style without the studenty newsprint effect behind the lettering. What do you think?


If you WANT it, it's $1,795 at Barneys.
