The Balmain Sphynx bag: the new icon of the house, named to pay tribute to the Sphinge dress from Pierre Balmain's autumn-winter 1977 collection and the profile of the sphinx, a symbol of strength, protection and mystery. Its sculptural silhouette, between bucket and cinched shoulder bag, is drawn by a tubular belt that shapes the volume, borrowed from the draping expertise of the ready-to-wear. Nappa lambskin, suede, pony or embroidery on satin, engraved metal tube and gold buckle. Medium on the shoulder, mini by hand or crossbody. Made in Italy.
