Recently, I have been busy with pursuing a kind of Motorcycle bags from Taobao online shopping. Among various kinds and colors, I’m a bit dazzled. Then when I was browsing the Balenciaga bags, something is after my own fancy. For most of us, the brand Balenciaga is so strange that we neither know nor even acquaint. Right, this brand is quite different from other big boys, such as Louis Vuitton, they have always designed the similar bags since they were first introduced. However, for many people who happen to like collecting the same bags in various colors, this brand totally meets their demand. Perhaps those people will be regarded as idiots. But to some extent in my personal views, I think it’s nice and cool. So gorgeous to see that any outfit can find the right colored bag to match.

I love this brand. And one of the most controversial things done by Balenciaga is introducing “giant” hardware which probably came in 2007. The former hardware was now offered in oversized, polished silver and gold versions. Some people wept. They think it’s too dazzling, and doesn’t go with the Balenciaga aesthetic. However, I insist everything must have some meaning of existing. For the classic hardware, it has a more rock-and-roll edge which can go anywhere, though, and can easily make the transition from day to night, especially in a black or near-black color. Classic is easier to wear on a super-casual basis, like going to the drugstore. It will last forever, and look timeless.

And the giant hardware provides more glamour and more fussiness. It can be lusciously pretty with the right color combination. Beware the gold hardware-it needs to be pampered, or the goldtone starts to wear off just a little. Giant hardware makes the transition from day to night more easily than classic, but looks a little over-the-top for really casual outings.

There is really room for both. I don’t think you can go wrong with a City bag in a dark color and either gold or silver giant hardware. Silver is lower maintenance. On the other hand, you can also wear the classic hardware anywhere, and it will never look dated. The classic will not look as formal as the giant hardware, however.

I used to prefer the giant silver hardware a little, but after seeing the series of Balenciaga bags, my favor has trended towards the giant gold hardware step by step. Anyway, I think it’s no need to figure out which kind of hardware is more popular and chic, just follow your own feeling. And that’s also the motion drive the designers to make more changes for satisfying the customers.

• Some Thoughts Started from the Dolce & Gabbana Chain Strap Flap Bag In the fashion world, normal seems to be nothing but out of date. So I am no haggler about some geek designs.
