The Balenciaga Motorcycle line -- soft, distressed lambskin, aged brass hardware, whipstitched handles -- redefined what a luxury bag could look like. The First is the smallest silhouette in the range: close to the body, light in hand, and unmistakably Balenciaga.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy the mid-2000s, the Motorcycle bags were everywhere -- carried by Kate Moss, Nicole Richie, and the entire front row of Paris. The rose colourway became one of the most coveted across the range: feminine in name, but worn with the same effortless edge as the leather itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Market Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGhesquiere-era Balenciaga (2001-2012) is increasingly treated as a collector category in its own right. The Motorcycle bags from this period are characterised by their particular lambskin texture and aged brass hardware -- details that distinguish them from later productions. The First remains one of the most wearable silhouettes from the line and trades actively on the secondary market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Balenciaga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247167328583,"sku":null,"price":848.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/4450\/2599\/files\/Photoroom_20260628_155939.jpg?v=1782674180","url":"https:\/\/ebvlondon.com\/products\/balenciaga-the-first-in-rose-1","provider":"ebvlondon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
