Shoulder Bags Debuting Distressed Trend

Just when we thought the distressed fashion won’t go ahead of jeans, sweatshirts, and shoes, Balmain swooped in quietly and shocked us all. Accessories are the next target for the destroyed fashion. Yes, you read that right and the first luxury brand to gather attention in this sphere is Balmain. A French luxury fashion house that was founded by Pierre Balmain in 1945 with its latest Graffiti print calfskin B-Buzz is making quite a statement. We know how Balmain has had a motive of revolutionizing French style and was indeed doing a great job until this launch.

Following the footsteps of Balenciaga, Balmain introduced the new Graffiti print calfskin B-Buzz to the world. To get into some specifications about the bag, it is a calfskin shoulder bag with adjustable a detachable strap, big enough to carry anywhere. We in the past have stressed enough how spotted and destroyed fashion isn’t a trend, but quite literally offensive to many.

The branding with Balmain-engraved lobster clasps, B quarter-turn clasp, and metal Balmain monogram with burnished gold accents is top notch and articulates curiosity. We aren’t going to deny the fact that you’ll surely get noticed carrying this around, but when it comes to fashion; we are indecisive. Just like before, the strategy of becoming the talk of the town by producing one such item that gets the name in flashes always works. Kudos to Balmain for that.

The brand claims to have engraved graffiti print on the bag. However, we wish it was something artistic that should have been painted on this handbag because from where we see it looks used and tarnished. To bring to the public’s attention, there’s also a hashtag used on the back side, #therealluxury, sorry to break it to you but this isn’t grandeur. Also, we haven’t seen any A-listers carrying this new baby, so if you ever notice; do hit us up!

Since we know all our readers and especially Balmain fans, you guys are still going to go ahead and get your hands on this one, but before you do; here’s something you should know. The quality when it comes to Balmain bags isn’t sworn upon, the bag secures all your essentials but when it comes to carrying the bag with its handles, Balmain can’t be counted upon. Within 6-10 months you’ll start seeing the top handle falling off, which is awful. However, we believe the right care is in the hands of the owner, so keep it protected.
