Balenciaga, recognized for its avant-garde designs and distinctive craftsmanship, ranging from synthetic mud-encrusted footwear to haute couture runway attire, has recently shown its most unconventional products — two iterations of the Hourglass XS in “Metal.”

The Hourglass Metal XS bags, offered in Silver and Gold, are made from 100% brass, weigh around 956 grams (2.1 pounds), and are completely functional with a Nappa lambskin inner.

Valued at £16,950 GBP or approximately $21,500 USD, this bag may easily be regarded as a collector art piece rather than an item for wear. The bag possesses identical dimensions and functionality to any other Hourglass XS, featuring the same detachable chain and magnetic closing.

Nonetheless, if you appreciate the metallic finish of the bag and wish to wear it, you may choose the Hourglass XS “Mirror Effect in Silver,” which is priced at a mere £1,650 GBP or $2,100 USD.

If you are determined to acquire the Metal bags, you may visit Balenciaga's official website to pre-order the Hourglass Metal XS in silver or purchase the brass bag in gold immediately.
