(Product Details)
This Carry Shopper is a key piece from Demna Gvasalia’s BALENCIAGA Spring/Summer 2017 collection, embodying his core design philosophy of "reinterpreting the mundane and questioning the fashion hierarchy." The design intent is clearly executed through an act brimming with humor and irony: by sampling the form and striking yellow hue of one of the world's most ubiquitous utility items, specifically the iconic IKEA "Frakta" bag, and reconstructing it using the most luxurious materials. This move intentionally blurred the lines between a high-end fashion house and mass-produced goods, conveying the strong message from the runway at the time that challenged the very concept of "value" in fashion. For its material, the bag utilizes finely-tanned, high-quality calfskin leather—a texture vastly different from that of a standard shopper—delivering a soft, supple hand-feel and a firm, structural stiffness that preserves its engineered shape, thereby affirming BALENCIAGA's craftsmanship as being diametrically opposed to cheapness.
