Balenciaga Functional bags have an intresting spot in the world of handbags. After the debut of the brand’s signature Motorcyle Bag design well over a decade ago, it instantly became a cult favorite because of its edgy, lightweight design and popularity with stylish celebs like Kate Moss. In the early- and mid-2000s, Balenciaga stoked demand by releasing the Functional bags in new candy colors every season, and these REDV chain-detail leather bucket bag Schwarz; quilted shell tote.
As we continue our periodic endeavor to explore the PurseForum, we delved into the Balenciaga subforum. In the Photos Wearing Your BBags thread, you can admire thousands (yes, THOUSANDS!) of Balenciaga Functional bags dating back to the first BBags ever released, and it’s also a place to get a feeling for the sizes of Balenciaga’s many shapes and styles, as modeled by members of our PurseForum. This thread is over 400 pages long, so to get you started, we’ve picked out some of the most gorgeous Balenciaga Functional bags it contains.
Check out below to see some of tPF’s most treasured Functional bags, both past and present, as well as the ways our members styled them (and an adorable pup or two thrown in for good measure).

Looks like some of these may be mislabeled- towns and firsts as cities; city as a work; work as a city; possibly velo as a mini city; one with giant 21 hardware labeled a mini city- (g21 and mini city don’t coexist)… and more. I know you guys know this – wondering what happened!
