Vintage Balenciaga Motorcycle Chain Shoulder Bag c. 2007–2012 Dark Grey
Chain links catch the city’s afternoon light, framing a body of dark grey distressed leather marked by silver-tone studs and a leather-tasselled zip pull. The silhouette is unmistakable: compact, softly paneled, the proportions cut close to the torso. An adjustable chain strap, fitted with a leather shoulder pad, allows for both shoulder and crossbody wear—adaptable, and suited to any wardrobe.
The bag’s surface is supple yet structured, showing only light creasing and faint surface wear at the corners. Inside, a black fabric lining conceals a single zipped pocket, while the main compartment closes with a smooth silver-tone zipper. The dust bag, printed in clean sans-serif, is included.
This is Balenciaga from Nicolas Ghesquière’s era—c. 2007–2012—when the Motorcycle line’s distressed leather and hardware became a signature of the house, seen on shoulders from Paris to New York. The chain strap is a later, non-original addition, but the spirit remains: a piece designed for movement, worn effortlessly by anyone.
