Picture this: it’s 7pm in the 7th arrondissement in Paris, you’re bar-hopping with friends, on your seventh glass of red, your Le 7 bag slouched under your arm. Now you don’t have to picture it – Balenciaga’s Le 7 bag is hot-off-the-press and ready to land in your checkout basket.
First exhibited during Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut collection for the house – SS26 – the Le 7 has charmed the fash pack from the moment they laid eyes on it. Reminiscent of quintessentially Parisian architecture, this piece is equally as timeless as it is distinctively modern; reflective of its namesake French neighbourhood. Le 7’s compact, thoughtful construction includes a zippered mid-section, underscored by knotted leather zip pulls that function as pochettes to hold your rouge, powder, spare Euros or whatever else your heart (and bag) desires.
Flexible surrounding sections either expand or fold away to create three separate compartments – easily adapting to whatever your day calls for. Buckled side straps allow the bag to fold naturally as you carry it, serving a laid-back feel with just the right amount of polished elegance. To top it off, a turn-lock closure functions as a fresh, updated take on Balenciaga’s emblematic Rodeo hardware.
Le 7 was crafted to align with the versatile silhouettes that have become a now-celebrated part of Balenciaga’s DNA. Available in smooth calfskin lined with deep-shaped suede or moka suede and lined with ruby nappa lambskin, Balenciaga offers the bag in black, curry and biscuit colourways. So, what are you waiting for? Book that Eurostar, swipe Le 7 off the shelves and slot it freely under your arm. Lucky number seven is in the bag. Shop here.
