Available in silver and gold, the new Balenciaga bags are truly exclusive pieces. They are priced at €18,000 and only a very limited number are available for pre-order through the official website. They are fully functional as they feature a nappa lambskin lining, a magnet closure and a removable chain, while maintaining exactly the same features as the original option.

And speaking of exclusive items… This is how Chanel has elevated jeans with just a logo.
