Launched in July 2022, the Balenciaga Crush Bag was first seen on the Winter 22 runway. It is exceptionally pliable, made of supple leathers that are diagonally quilted, smooth, croc-embossed, or shiny, with textures and highlights emphasizing tactility. It comes with either a chain, in silver or gold, that loops through grommets and can be doubled, or a single leather strap attached at each side.

The Crush’s soft form gives it versatility and allows it the ability to collapse and expand with pressure. A deconstructed approach to the classic handbag; its curved and pointed edges iterate on an iconic Balenciaga silhouette, the Hourglass.

In 2023, the Balenciaga Crush line expands with the Sling version—a Crush bag with a leather handle instead of a chain—introduced during the Winter 23 collection presentation.

The Crush Sling’s form is finished with an adjustable strap made in a matching material: shiny Paper leather.
