Long Live
MEN 'S FOLIO Singapore|August 2024
Time may erode a leather's glossy surface, or the star power of today's prominent who's who. But for the Balenciaga Le City line and its A-list proponents, time unearths character and respect - revealing why and how the studded house hero will always remain a favourite.

Balenciaga's Le City line has a slightly different claim to fame, finding success overnight and even more so with time.
