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.

Reception of the Anthem line is positive on looks and hardware, with buyers calling it elegant and well made. Complaints center on the smooth leather marking easily and the magnetic closure feeling less secure than a zip.
