B is for big, bold, badass, Balenciaga. Meet the Monaco, the star in Balenciaga's Winter 23 collection. Soft, padded and oversized, she is a classic front-flap handbag with a chain strap threaded through the corners, and of course, stamped with the metal magnetised BB logo. The bag comes in midnight black or a milky white in crinkle or smooth leather, quilted or flat with gold or silver hardware. Choices, choices. With all its squishiness and space, the Monaco is very much a new-era Mary Poppins bag. As we say in 2023, the bigger the bag - the better. The Balenciaga Monaco is available now.
