A hot spring trend is floral prints. Being able to implement the beauty and flourishing growth of spring in our wardrobes and accessories brightens our look and our day. Balenciaga, who is known for their slouchy handbags made with naturally distressed goat leather, has ventured into the floral realm for one of their Spring 2008 handbags. The Balenciaga Giant Seau Bag features the Fleur Fluo print which gives the handbag a unique and chic appeal. The large and bright floral pattern is eye catching and is set off with white leather, a perfect combination. I love the shape of this bag, like a bucket bag. This can slouch low and stay close to your body. Pair this with a simple sun dress, jeans, anything white, and you will look perfect for spring.
$1,325.

When most of us think of Balenciaga Bags, we think of the B-bag craze surrounding the leathers, colors, and celebrity following. Little do many know that Balenciaga does make exotic bags for our enjoyment. A member of our forum, Purse-Oooh, was lucky enough to snag a Balenciaga Crocodile Work Bag which sports a black crocodile body on the coveted Balenciaga Work’s style. Price is around $18,000, which is very steep but great for those that are die-hard Balenciaga fans.

After bringing you stunning pictures of the Balenciaga Crocodile Work Bag, I had to find out more information about Balenciaga crocodile bags. It seems Balenciaga does dabble in the art of exotics every now and again, and when they do the skins are stunning and the colors pop. From the Fall 07 collection, the Balenciaga Crocodile Weekender in yellow was released and it is quite the show stopper. The weekender is just as large as its name suggests, and this yellow crocodile version will be sure to capture every eye on your weekend getaways. If you are in the market for a crocodile B-bag, you can speak to the boutique as they are all custom made. Balenciaga is known for their wide array of beautiful colors, so imagine picking another bright bold color and placing it on a crocodile bag. The price will surely capture your attention, at $22,500.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s apparently had a bad week with her scary hospital visit. Still, that didn’t stop her from putting on a brave face and stepping out with an incredibly chic Balenciaga Moon bag with black trim. (Hey, if a fierce Balenciaga purse can’t put you on the road to good health, what can? Kidding!) Gwyneth has always been the picture of fabulous, unfussy style, and this sophisticated, rich leather handbag is a perfect match - it’s trendy but classic-looking, and totally luxe. You can send me to the ‘moon’ anytime.

Balenciaga lariat bag is the first ever IT bag. Nicole Richie is a fan of Balenciaga bags. She has more than 20 Balenciaga bags including weekender, medium classic, hobo, etc. Nicky Hilton also has around 20 of these bags.

The essence of these bags: the goat leather of Balenciaga bags is so buttery soft, paper thin and deeply-distressed.

Balenciaga also comes in some very bold and strong colour such as apple green, mustard yellow, bubblegum pink, margenta, sky blue, indigo blue, bright red, pewter, etc, colours you won’t expect from a handbag!

The size: 15″ x 10″ x 4″ with a 24″ detachable shoulder strap. Serial code: 115748. This bag is roomy for daily use, but it cannot fit a laptop or A4 files.

Rachel looks relaxed in these photos. When Rachel with Balenciaga how come it looks more like a practical mommy bag for shopping than a fashion icon?
