All Win, All the Time: Balenciaga Covered Giant City

I don't buy handbags very often (maybe twice a year), but when I do, I aim to make a statement. And despite the fact that I experienced positively dreadful customer service at Balenciaga last year, the Covered Giant City has been calling to me for some time.

So, this week, I caved. And while I debated snagging the Anthracite (who doesn't need a perfect gray bag?), I ultimately chose a bolder color (as I am always prone to do!) in Raisin.  As you can see above, Raisin is a true purple (the word means "Grape" in French) and I can't wait to pair it with all sorts of fall hues this season.

Have you snagged a new fall bag? Tell me about it in the comments!

p.s. I should note that the service I experienced at Balenciaga this year was fantastic - they even messengered this beauty to my office free of charge. Special thanks to Daphne!
