Tori Spelling carries a surprisingly awesome Balenciaga
Posted In Tori Spelling on August 19th, 2009
Is that…can it be…a Balenciaga Flat-Brass First Bag? I think it has to be. It certainly looks like it from here.
And who is that carrying it? Is that…can it be…Tori Spelling? Since when does she carry such rare, sought-after, insider-y sorts of bags? How did she get cool enough to have one of these? Who told her about it?
For all of those that aren’t Balenciaga followers, this bag looks like it’s a rare gem – a first First, if you will. In the first season or two of the production of the brand’s iconic Motorcycle bags, they made this type with flattened studs instead of the raised ones that we see today, and the bag’s structure was a bit different. These bags go for well over retail on eBay and are a must-have for any Balenciaga collector. The brand’s popularity exploded after their introduction and changes in the bags’ looks were made repeatedly, but these are still perhaps the most sought-after bags from a brand that produces a collector’s item practically every season. I am seething with jealousy.

The bag is awesome, but she’s grossly skinny.

I think Tori looks darling…just cute cute cute and very boho! The bag looks fantastic with her as it is smaller and doesn’t overwhelm her petite frame.

i am not a big Balenciaga fan, so i would not know the difference, all i can say is that bag doesnt really go with outfit… And her outfit is not too great either, those shoes are weird.

I need that bag! It’s gorgeous :). I agree that it doesn’t match Tori Spelling’s outfit though -_-; ::tsk tsk tori:: but it definitely a nice size and not overwhelming considering the fact that she is sooo thin. 0_0

I like Tori Spelling and think she has good style, so I don’t think it’s weird that she’s carrying this bag. Everyone has commented about Tori’s outfit and said that it doesn’t match the bag…granted, I’m not really digging her outfit that much either, but I think the bag looks fine with it. Does your purse seriously have to match your outfit perfectly anyways?? I know I don’t do that…maybe if I was a millionare. I love, love Balenciaga and this bag is definitely gorgeous!

If that is, in fact, a flat brass First, it’s in pristine condition. I’d knock her out to get my hands on it. JK, Tori. I love you;-)

She’s not looking so great here. Nice bag, but I’m not a huge fan of small purses either.

Such a cute Bbag!! What a great size for the petite sized crowd :) I wish I had enough $$$ to afford a Balenciaga, but even if I did, I am not sure I can justify the price tag!

I like the motorcycle look, but not that it’s so long and skinny.

I can see why this bag is so popular, it’s such a unique shape. I really like that it is long and skinny.
