- Is the Hourglass Top Handle big enough for everyday use?
- No. It is a small bag that fits a phone, cardholder and keys. It works for evenings and short outings, not as a daily carry-all.
- How does it differ from the Hourglass shoulder bag?
- This version has a single top handle and no shoulder strap, so it is carried in the hand. The shoulder versions leave your hands free.
- What is the leather like?
- It is calfskin with a shiny croc-embossed finish. It looks polished but shows scuffs and marks more than matte leather.
- Does it keep its shape?
- Yes. The structured body and curved base hold their form, which is why it stands upright on a table.
- What fits inside?
- A phone, a cardholder, keys and a small lipstick. Larger wallets and sunglasses cases will not fit comfortably.
- Is it a good first Balenciaga bag?
- It is a statement piece best for someone who already has a daily bag. As a single bag it is limited by its size and lack of a strap.
- Where is the Balenciaga White Shiny Croc-Embossed Calfskin Hourglass Top Handle cheapest?
- At Rue La La, for $1,410.00, as of our latest check.
