The Material Boy #37



Balenciaga Yellow Nylon Backpack with White Leather Trim

Seems spring summer 2008 is a season for the return of backpacks. Leading the trend are Raf Simons and of course my favourite Balenciaga. I will not say this is the bag for me, cos I am way past the 'school days student' look and I dun like carrying a bag on both shoulders. Makes me feel like a 'Ninja Turtle'. Anyways, if backpack is your game, then Balenciaga is the name. Brilliant yellow colour to add a dash of attention grabbing x-factor to your outfit ensemble!

Retail price: ¥176,400. Where to buy: Balenciaga Boutiques

I wonder if this bag is going to reach our shores. Still quite undecided myself too.Have to see it for myself first-hand in order to decide between a backpack and a carryall. Need one for the gym. My age is telling me to lay off the backpack but who can resist the balenciaga appeal? And it's yellow. Very perky. ;-)

I am afraid the backpack is not one of the items the buyer has selected for the store. I saw a very nice backpack at DKNY today. A military green with brown leather trimings and details and multi pockets. The tag says it is meant for ladies, but I tried it, works better for guys! at SGD $499, I think it is a good deal. One drawback is the shoulder strap. A bit thin, so I am afraid it is not meant for a lot of weight. But a laptop and gym gear should still be good.

I will get it if suddenly I have some extra spare cash. Will be perfect for going to Indonesia this May.Like Indiana Jones.:-P

Hi jay,

enquire from John, the club 21 mens buyer if he can help to get the backpack in for you if you are interested:-) But they placed their orders like 8 months ago so I dunno if that will e possible.

yeah, such a pity eh? Would make a good sale purchase. hahaha
