Hmm, there’s a Balenciaga handbag (not a clutch or a tiny shoulder bag!) that’s UNDER $1000?! Colour me surprised! Pretty much all of the Balenciaga handbags, from the City to the Arena, are well over $1000 so finding one that’s a smidge under $1K and cute too boot is nothing short of a handbag miracle.

The Balenciaga Arena Saddle Classic is your classic flap front shoulder bag. It measures a not too big, not too small 8″ x 11″ x 5″ and comes in this rich, perfect for Fall, Mandarin orange shade. Don’t like orange? It’s also available in Bleu Layette and Praline (light tan).

The Arena Saddle Classic is made out of wrinkled lambskin. Lambskin is incredibly soft, supple and one of the best leathers for handbags. The bag is accented with aged brass hardware and a comfortable shoulder strap that’s adjustable, too! The interior is fully lined and has a zip pocket for your small essentials. This shoulder bag will easily transition from day to night. Not bad for Balenciaga, right? This cute bag is available at Barneys for $995.
