{"product_id":"balenciaga-31x55","title":"Vintage Balenciaga Silk Skirt Black Velvet Waistband","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first impression is the deep black silk that drapes with a gentle sheen, anchored by a plush velvet waistband that lends definition and quiet structure to the silhouette. Free from visible logos or hardware, this Balenciaga skirt exemplifies the maison’s approach to understated luxury, allowing the tactile interplay between silk and velvet to speak for itself. Likely from the post-Nicholas Ghesquière era, when the house embraced refined minimalism and sharp tailoring as a counterpoint to its earlier avant-garde statements. Founded in 1917 by Cristóbal Balenciaga, the house’s legacy is defined by architectural precision and the elevation of fabric above all else — a philosophy evident here in the purity of line and material. The skirt’s measured proportions (31 × 55 cm) suggest an approximate small-to-medium size, designed to sit at the natural waist and fall just below the knee, capturing the timeless fluidity associated with Balenciaga. The silk is fresh and lustrous, with the velvet waistband retaining its dense, matte finish; no pulls, stains or surface marks are visible on either material. No original accessories are included. The mannequin normally wears a size M.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel: Silk Skirt with Velvet Waistband\u003cbr\u003eEra: Post-Ghesquière, c.
