Q: What typically fits inside this Balenciaga Patent First Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 33 x 19 x 6 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few small cosmetics. It may also fit a slim paperback or very small tablet depending on its exact size, but it is not designed for larger items or most laptops.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece has dual rolled handles as well as a single detachable shoulder strap. The handle drop is approximately 13 cm and the strap drop is approximately 20 cm, so it works well as a hand-held or short shoulder bag.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: For most people, this style is better suited to hand carry or shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear. The strap drop is relatively short, so the fit will usually sit higher on the body.
Q: Is the Balenciaga First a practical everyday size? A: It is a compact everyday bag with a lighter, more day-to-evening feel than larger Balenciaga Motorcycle styles such as the City. It comfortably holds the basics, but if you carry a lot throughout the day you may find it more suitable for essentials-only use.
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: Can it be worn crossbody? A: For most people, this style is better suited to hand carry or shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear. The strap drop is relatively short, so the fit will usually sit higher on the body.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item comes with a dust bag, a detachable shoulder strap and a mirror. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information.
Q: Is the Balenciaga First a practical everyday size? A: It is a compact everyday bag with a lighter, more day-to-evening feel than larger Balenciaga Motorcycle styles such as the City. It comfortably holds the basics, but if you carry a lot throughout the day you may find it more suitable for essentials-only use.
Q: How is this bag organised inside? A: It has a black textile lining, one internal zip pocket and a zip closure across the top. This gives you secure storage for essentials while keeping the silhouette slim and streamlined.
Q: What condition is this particular bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior shows visible yellow stains, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As a vintage item, these signs of wear are consistent with careful previous use.
Q: How should I care for white patent leather? A: Patent leather should be handled gently to help preserve its glossy finish. Wipe it with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and store it in its dust bag away from direct sunlight and heat. Because white patent leather can show marks and colour transfer more easily, it is best to avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or heavily dyed fabrics.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product data, this bag was made in Italy.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Balenciaga bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned items are carefully reviewed for authenticity by specialists. For Balenciaga styles, this typically includes checking the materials, construction, hardware, stamps and interior details appropriate to the model and era.
