Our take on the Balenciaga Le City Medium Tote Bag

The Le City Medium is Balenciaga's revival of the early-2000s City bag, built in Arena Storico lambskin with brass hardware and two hand-braided leather handles. It measures about 15.1 by 9.4 by 5.3 inches, so it holds a tablet, a small laptop and daily essentials while staying a shoulder bag. A removable, adjustable strap lets it go crossbody, and the zipped top with a knotted leather puller keeps contents covered. Against the original City, it keeps the slouch, whipstitched handles and studs but adds a cleaner, more structured shape; against the smaller Le City sizes it carries more, at the cost of weight and bulk. Owners of the City line praise the soft, broken-in lambskin and the hardware, and warn that the leather is delicate and the bag is heavy when loaded.
