Our take on the Balmain Medium Anthem Bag Smooth Leather

The Anthem is Balmain's structured top-handle bag in smooth leather, closed with a magnetic flap and finished with gold-tone hardware. Its clean, boxy shape and bold hardware read as evening-ready, but the medium size holds a phone, wallet and small essentials for daytime too. Compared with slouchier designer totes, it offers less capacity and no shoulder strap, so it suits shoppers who want a sharp, formal carry rather than an everyday workhorse. Owners of Balmain leather goods generally praise the build and hardware finish, though smooth leather shows scratches and the magnetic lock is less secure than a zip.

Questions and answers

Is the Anthem bag good for everyday use?
For light days, yes. It holds a phone, wallet and small essentials, but the stiff structure and lack of a strap make it less practical for commuting or carrying a lot.
Does it have a shoulder strap?
No. The medium Anthem is a top-handle bag only, so it is carried in the hand or on the forearm.
How secure is the magnetic closure?
It snaps shut easily but has no zip. It keeps the flap closed in normal use, though it is not ideal for crowded spaces or travel.
Will the smooth leather scratch?
Yes, smooth leather marks more readily than grained leather. Expect light scuffs with daily use; store it in its dust bag.
What fits inside the medium size?
A large phone, a cardholder or small wallet, keys and a lipstick. It will not fit a tablet or a full-size wallet plus a water bottle.
How does it compare with Balmain's other bags?
The Anthem is more structured and formal than Balmain's softer, slouchier styles. Choose it for a sharp evening look rather than maximum capacity.
Where is the Balmain Medium Anthem Bag Smooth Leather cheapest?
At Nordstrom, for $2,495.00, as of our latest check.
