On the tenth day of Christmas, we present — the Balenciaga Le Cagole XS Sling.

The best part about getting festive is arguably the season’s invitation to let loose, revisit nostalgia, or invoke some childhood whimsy in traditions and practices. The Le Cagole XS Sling is similar. Fashioned from good ol’ blue denim — then inundated with rhinestones — the new Sling silhouette plays into the depths of one’s childhood fantasies.

In Frankenstein-ing the best of the noughties, Balenciaga expands the kith and kin of its ever-enduring, classic Le Cagole and its as-hot predecessor Motorcycle line. And as good genes do follow, trust that this jean-crafted iteration will age as gracefully as its ancestors have proven. The bag grows with its user, where the harshest of patination will reveal itself in glorious distressing, fraying and fading — when considered in the context of intentionality, punctuates the house’s skilful hand at artisanship.
