The New Normal: Balenciaga's everyday bag for the everyday woman

Of all the bags from Balenciaga, the latest is one that's not inspired by "stranger" things like a giant shopper, duvet covers or Ikea's Frakta. The Ville is inspired by and designed for the everyday woman who wants an everyday bag.

The Ville comes in three sizes - XXS, S and M. The former two have an additional detachable cross-body strap. Calf leather in S, $3,300. 

Resembling a DIY project, Balenciaga's logo is hand-painted like marquage on every Ville. Calf leather in S, $3,300. 

The Ville also comes with interior zip & patch pockets and a back patch pocket. The strap for the S-size measures at 54cm and 60cm for the XXS. Calf leather in S, $3,300. 

Each Ville bag comes in a grained calf leather that's generally scratch resistant that if dusty, can be wiped down with a soft cloth. Calf leather in S, $3,300.
