there's a very functional internal zipped pocket, plus a separate cell phone pocket. the interior is lined in very retro plaid design! i think i have a pair of gap boxers that goes with it!
and as seen on mymanybags.blogspot.com:
and me trying on the bag at harrods:
as a self proclaimed balenciaga fan, i am shocked that i waited for this long to get my very first balenciaga bag. and i managed to outdo myself too, this being my sixth weekend travel bag, i don't even go on that many weekend trips anymore! this bag was from the men's spring summer 2008 collection. they happened to find 3 bags lying at the back of the store room, not sure what it was doing there but it had to go, especially since it's from spring 2008. so they put it out and 5 mins later i sauntered along and didn't let go since.
it is a tad too big for work, but being 6ft tall i think i can get away with it. and i will bring it to work to make it worthwhile! i can carry it over my shoulders in the summer when i am not wearing my coat.
the crazy thing is, it cost GBP839 originally, and i got it for... GBP199. i just have to take it home and decide what i want to do about it.
one can never have too many balenciaga(s) :)
