Le City
Balenciaga price increase history →The moto bag — fashion’s definitive 2000s it-bag, reborn as Le City.
Nicolas Ghesquière’s motorcycle bag — the City, launched 2001 — defined an entire era: crinkled, broken-in lambskin, whipstitched handles, studs, tassels and a mirror in the pocket. It was carried by practically every 2000s icon and never really left the resale market.
After being discontinued, the design returned as “Le City” in 2024, faithful to the original pattern in sizes from Nano to Medium — while two decades of originals continue to trade actively on the used market.

Expert reviews
What owners sayThe Blackout mini goes with everything and is the perfect day-to-night size, but the classic studs read too edgy and grungy for me and the version names are confusing.
What experts sayA divisive love-it-or-hate-it bag: versatile in its minimalist Blackout form, but the studded hardware won't suit classic-and-glam tastes.
