{"product_id":"balenciaga-42x32x13-5","title":"Vintage Balenciaga Structured Leather Briefcase Late 1990s Dark Green","description":"\u003cp\u003eA silver-tone BB monogram lock clasp anchors the front of this structured dark green leather briefcase, its smooth panels capturing the restrained precision of late-1990s Parisian design. The silhouette is sharply contoured, with a single rigid top handle and subtly rounded corners, projecting a measured authority in profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior is crafted from smooth, dark green leather, complemented by polished silver-tone hardware and an architectural lock closure engraved with the BB monogram. The bag is intended for handheld carry only, with no provision for a shoulder strap or crossbody configuration. Inside, a beige fabric lining reveals a carefully organized interior: one zipped pocket and two slip pockets, all edged in matching leather. The original Balenciaga cards, printed in spaced sans-serif capitals, are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis briefcase likely dates to the transitional period between Balenciaga’s licensing era and the early Ghesquière years, circa late 1990s–early 2000s. The absence of an interior leather label and the use of sans-serif BB hardware, together with the archive cards, place this piece in the years just before the house’s directional revival. The formality and minimalism of the design evoke Balenciaga’s reputation for architectural clarity, here distilled into a utilitarian object of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is very good, with light surface wear visible on the exterior panels and hardware; corners and structure remain crisp, interior fabric clean. The mannequin normally wears a size M.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Late 1990s–Early 2000s\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good — light surface wear on exterior panels and hardware\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Smooth dark green leather with beige fabric lining\u003cbr\u003eColour: Dark green leather exterior; silver-tone BB monogram lock clasp and hardware; beige fabric interior\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: W 42 × H 32 × D 13.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eMade in: France\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Balenciaga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54034954518856,"sku":"P18029S","price":325.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5866\/8616\/files\/IMG-8229_acaafcce-81f8-4eaf-aeab-243b3ffe895e.jpg?v=1789073460","url":"https:\/\/seconddonk.com\/products\/balenciaga-42x32x13-5","provider":"Second Donk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
