I mean, first off, I gotta say, I’m kinda obsessed with the idea. I saw something online – apparently Saks has a whole “Balenciaga Designer Custom” thing going on. Free shipping AND returns? Tempting, I ain’t gonna lie. But, like, what would *I* even *do*?
Then there’s this whole other vibe I’m getting from the internet. I saw someone mentioning “custom balenciaga selection for the very best in unique or custom, handmade pieces from our t-shirts shops.” T-shirt shops? Making Balenciaga bags? Hold up. Is that even legit? I’m kinda skeptical, but also… intrigued. Maybe it’s like that whole upcycling trend gone wild? I dunno.
And then, of course, the age-old question pops up: Where ARE these things actually made? Italy? China? Does it even matter when you’re talking about something custom? I guess it kinda does, right? You want to know what you’re paying for. Like, if it’s “custom handmade” from a t-shirt shop in China, well, that’s one thing. If it’s “Balenciaga Designer Custom” from Saks and made in Italy… well, that’s a *completely* different ballpark.
Speaking of different, I stumbled across this “vintage Balenciaga bag” thing from www.spicycookie.net. Custom *and* vintage? That sounds pretty darn cool, actually. I mean, imagine having a one-of-a-kind Balenciaga piece with some history behind it. That’s way more interesting than just buying the latest, greatest thing off the rack, ya know?
Honestly, I’m all over the place with this custom Balenciaga bag idea. On one hand, I’m picturing myself designing something totally outrageous and unique that nobody else has. On the other hand, I’m kinda worried about ending up with some weird, poorly-made thing that screams “I tried to be cool and failed miserably.”
