The story

Why we picked it
I was drawn to this piece specifically for the pony hair - a material Balenciaga used selectively, and one that gives the City bag a dimension that plain leather simply cannot replicate. The brown animal print reads as both bold and wearable, which is a difficult balance to strike. Pony hair City bags in strong condition are genuinely rare to source, and this one warranted a place in the catalogue on that basis alone.

This Balenciaga City bag brings together two signatures of the house: its relaxed silhouette and a bold brown animal print rendered in pony hair. The texture alone sets it apart from the standard leather version, giving each piece a natural variation that makes it one of a kind. It is a design built for movement, equally at home layered into a daytime look or dressed up for evening.

The bag is constructed in soft pony hair with the brand's signature brass hardware and studded detailing along the base. Its two-way design allows it to be carried by the top handle or worn crossbody using the adjustable strap, with a roomy interior suited to daily essentials. The proportions strike a balance between structured and slouchy, a hallmark of the original City bag silhouette.

Pony hair pieces from this era are increasingly hard to source in strong condition, making this a natural pick for collectors as well as anyone looking to add texture to a neutral wardrobe.
