In addition to a range of unconventional tote bags that are inspired by reusable shopping bags, a line of Balenciaga luggage has been revealed as well.
Due to the colorful free-form designs that decorate the duffel bags, backpacks, purses, wallets and more, the Balenciaga luggage series was dubbed the 'Graffiti Collection.' On many of the styles, the label's name is sprawled across the bags in a casual fashion, in addition to doodles that represent its logo, and others that seem to lightly mock the seriousness of the fashion industry.
The entire Graffiti Collection can be found on Balenciaga's online store, as well as a selection of high-end retailers. The prices of the pieces range from $695 to $2,350 USD.
