Authentic Balmain Leather & Genuine Hair-on Calf (Pony Hair) Backpack – Rare Archive Piece – Collector’s Item
An exceptionally rare Balmain backpack crafted from genuine leather and genuine hair-on calf (commonly known as pony hair). This is a highly sought-after archive piece that is rarely available on the market, making it an excellent addition for collectors and luxury fashion enthusiasts.
Condition: 7/10 (Pre-Owned)
Please examine all photos and video carefully, as they are an important part of the description.
Condition details:
- Overall signs of regular use throughout.
- Leather shows scuffs and wear, particularly on the bottom and on the back panel that rests against the back.
- Exterior front pocket lining has come loose.
- Bottom lining has also partially detached.
- Interior fabric around the zipper area has visible dirt/discoloration.
- One zipper is slightly stiff due to oxidation but remains functional.
- Leather zipper pull cords have faded from use.
- Most of the original metal end caps on the zipper pull cords are missing; only one zipper still retains its original metal hardware.
- One seam where the hair-on calf panel meets the leather has partially separated. This is not a hole or tear, but a section of stitching that has come apart and may be repaired if desired.
- All original Balmain labels and tags are present.
Despite the cosmetic wear, this remains an exceptionally rare Balmain archive backpack made from premium leather and genuine hair-on calf. These backpacks are very difficult to find, especially with all original branding intact, making it a desirable collector’s piece as well as a unique everyday luxury bag.
