Replica Balenciaga City Bag Review

If you ask me what is the most iconic fashion bag since the 2000s, I’d say the Balenciaga City Bag (AKA Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag) definitely had a place in it.

Today, I would like to do a review of my fake Balenciaga city bag (small).

When I was a teen, I was always trying to stay on top of all the latest fashion trends. 

I am not sure if you have ever seen this bag in person, but it used to be hung on the wrists of many fashion icons from Paris Hilton to Mary Kate Olsen.

Yes, that’s how “old” this bag is. Amazing, isn’t it? And I’ve been dreaming of carting a City around for the past 20 years.

I wanted to get this Balenciaga rep (replica) as the brand has now discontinued the original City and replaced it with a goofy looking pyramid shape.

Leather

The quality is excellent. This bag will easily survive years with me.

The leather of my fake Balenciaga looks and feels like real and nice leather. It smells just like high-quality leather would smell. 

The grain on the leather is like something straight out of a dream and I swear nothing captures its quality quite like actually seeing it in person. Photos don’t even do it justice.

Handle

Like its authentic, this Balenciaga bag dupe features braided handle details that add a stylish and sophisticated touch. It’s definitely my favorite design feature out of this whole bag. 

The braided handle is one of those signature details that really give the brand a unique look and make it so recognizable.

The handles also add a nice girly feel to an otherwise very tom-boyish bag in my opinion. 

The handles are about 9 inches from the top, which is the same measurement as the Replica Knockoff bag.

Zipper Hardware

A close-up of the zipper hardware. I’ve been stressing this FOREVER on my blog look out for how solid the hardware, zippers, and stitching are. 

That’s a surefire way to tell if a bag is made well. This is what often separates a good replica from a bad one.

The hardware of this rep Balenciaga City is very sturdy and high-quality, the stitchings are clean and neat while maintaining parallel to the edges, and the zippers move very smoothly.

Accuracy

As for its accuracy, I think this fake Balenciaga looks convincing (98% identical to the real deal) in each segment whatsoever. 

The dimensions of this Balenciaga City bag replica are correct, it is 11.7 inches wide, 8.2 inches high, and 3.9 inches deep.

The shape of the front zipper pocket is on par with the Replica Knockoff City Bag. The interior tag is identical to the real bag.

Also, it slouches just like the Replica Knockoff bag would.

Since Replica Knockoff Balenciaga bags constantly change over the years, it makes it difficult for others to authenticate a Balenciaga bag. 

That’s good news for Balenciaga replica buyers. Because that means they have a more solid excuse for their knockoff Balenciaga bags being different from the real thing.

Satisfaction

Overall, I am quite satisfied with this fake Balenciaga City Bag. Its leather, stitching, and hardware are on point, plus the craftsmanship is of serious quality.

I like the bag because it can be good for daytime or evening with many outfits, it is very versatile. I like having the handles and the strap.

I’ve always had a soft spot for bags with shoulder straps since they make it so easy to carry the bag and help add a nonchalant vibe to your overall look.

Besides, it has enough room for my essentials while feeling very comfortable carrying it crossbody.

That’s it for my Balenciaga replica review! Are you an old-school City fan?

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where did you get this fake Balenciaga city bag?

I got the bag from Kitty (kittyrepstar@gmail.com), which was recommended by one of my readers.

After buying from her (especially Balenciaga reps) a few times, I think this seller is pretty good, so I added her to my seller list.

2. Is this Balenciaga city bag dupe heavy?

Because it’s a leather bag with quite a bit of metal, I do think the bag is a bit heavy. But that’s how the Replica Knockoff ones are too. 

If it were too light, it‘s a sign of cheap materials and makes it easier for people to spot it as a knock off Balenciaga.

3. How’s the wear and tear of the Balenciaga replica?

I haven’t really used this bag enough to see any wear and tear, but after having it for months and using it here and there, I’ve got zero complaints. 

The leather is super soft and even gets nicer as time goes on. I’m not worried about the wear and tear, I know I can abuse the crap out of it (the City bags actually look better that way).
