Balenciaga Motocross City Giant Covered Brogues Bag
Made for a chic day in the city, this vintage Balenciaga City in pink distressed leather adds a bold pop to casual or polished looks. With leather-covered giant hardware and its iconic silhouette, it holds everyday essentials from coffee runs to dinner plans. Carry by the top handles or wear on the shoulder for effortless, edgy style.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the dimensions and what will it hold day to day? A: This Large City measures approximately 37 × 25 × 14 cm with a 15 cm handle drop and around a 45 cm strap drop. It comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, make-up pouch, sunglasses, a small water bottle, charger, keys and an A4 document sleeve. Most 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve also fit; please compare your device to the Measurements listed on this page.
Q: Is the strap long enough to wear crossbody? A: The City was originally designed for handheld or shoulder carry. With the strap drop listed at about 45 cm, many wear it on the shoulder and some can achieve a high crossbody depending on height and build. If you prefer a lower crossbody drop, a longer replacement strap is a common solution among City owners.
Q: What does “Giant Covered Brogues” mean on this model? A: “Giant” refers to the oversized stud hardware; “Covered” means the studs are wrapped in matching leather; and “Brogues” describes the decorative perforated trim inspired by classic brogue shoes. This combination gives a softer, tonal look compared with exposed metal studs while keeping the iconic moto details.
Q: What leather is this made from and how does it feel? A: Most City bags from this era are crafted in distressed lambskin (often called agneau), known for its supple, slouchy feel and beautiful drape. Earlier seasons also used goatskin; surface texture and softness can vary slightly by year and finish.
Q: How should I care for the distressed lambskin and colour? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking, oils, alcohol-based products and prolonged sunlight, which can dry or fade the leather. Light colours may pick up dye from dark denim; store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape and minimise creasing.
Q: Is this Giant Covered Brogues style still produced today? A: The Giant Covered Brogues City was made for specific past seasons and is no longer produced, which is why it’s sought after on the pre-owned market. Balenciaga currently offers updated City iterations under the “Le City” line, but the brogued, leather-covered hardware version is considered a discontinued design.
Q: What is included with this piece? A: As listed in the product information, this bag includes a detachable shoulder strap and mirror. Any other items (such as dust bag or cards) would be listed there; if not listed, they are not included.
Q: How heavy is it compared with other City versions? A: The City is known for being relatively lightweight for its size due to its soft leather and fabric lining. Giant Covered hardware adds a touch more weight than classic small-stud versions, but the bag remains comfortable for daily carry.
Q: Are the leather-covered studs durable? A: The leather wrapping gives a refined, tonal look but can show scuffing on high-contact points over time. To preserve them, avoid rubbing against rough surfaces and store the bag so hardware isn’t pressed tightly against other items.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, interior labels and season/style codes, comparing them with known authentic references. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photographs or details on request.
