Balenciaga Motocycle Twiggy
An unmistakable icon of Nicolas Ghesquière-era Balenciaga, this vintage Motorcycle Twiggy Bag is rendered in Vert Gazon, the vivid grass-green colorway released in 2007. Bold, highly collectible, and increasingly difficult to find, Vert Gazon perfectly captures the saturated colors and effortlessly cool styling that defined Balenciaga’s early-2000s handbag era.
Crafted from beautifully distressed goatskin leather, the Twiggy features an elongated, softly structured silhouette finished with classic aged hardware, whipstitched top handles, leather tassels, and signature raised stud detailing. Its detachable shoulder strap allows it to be carried by hand or worn comfortably over the shoulder.
The top zipper opens to a fabric-lined interior with space for daily essentials, while the exterior zip pocket keeps smaller items within easy reach. A matching leather-framed mirror completes the original Motorcycle design.
Introduced as a slimmer, east-west interpretation of Balenciaga’s cult Motorcycle bag, the Twiggy offers the same relaxed leather, rebellious hardware, and downtown appeal in a distinctive elongated shape. The Motorcycle family originated under Nicolas Ghesquière in 2001 and became one of the defining handbag designs of the decade.
