The City is the one that started everything. Introduced by Nicolas Ghesquière in 2001 and carried by every person who mattered in fashion for the decade that followed, Kate Moss, Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller. This one is in wisteria lilac with gunmetal hardware, one of the most beautiful and sought after colourways the City was ever produced in. The lambskin has developed exactly the kind of softness that only comes with time and cannot be bought new. Twenty years of Balenciaga collectors will tell you the same thing, an aged City in a rare colourway is more beautiful than a new one. This is the proof.

Condition

Very Good Vintage — gently loved, with character consistent with age.

What to know: light rubbing to the exterior leather consistent with careful use, the lambskin has softened beautifully with age. Interior lining clean throughout. Mirror and all original tassels intact.

Condition Guide

Every piece in the Inherited archive is graded honestly. Here's what each condition means:

Excellent — Exceptional. Minimal to no signs of wear. Structure, hardware and material all intact. As close to archive-perfect as vintage gets.

Very Good — Gently used. Light wear on straps, corners or interior only. Any imperfections are minor and clearly described. The sweet spot of vintage.

Good — Visibly loved. Character through fading, light scratches or small marks — all while remaining fully functional. Priced honestly to reflect condition.

Fair — Worn with life. Noticeable scuffs, tarnished hardware or surface marks. For the collector who appreciates a piece with a past, or wants a restoration project.
