Very high on the favorites list of every fashionista are two very hip handbags inspired by Balenciaga - the Motorcycle Bag and the Motorcycle Duffel. Both very trendy bags create flattering silhouettes by combining just the right amount of slouch and structure, making them two of the most frequently photographed accessories. The list of public trendsetters recently spotted with it elegantly slung over their stylish shoulders reads like a who's who of Hollywood's most fashionable, including Cameron Diaz, Sienna Miller, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Anna Kournikova, Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Hillary Duff. Both bags are finished beautifully with tonal topstitching, aged bronze-toned lobster claw hooks, and dual leatherette straps with hardware accents.

I am not a fan of buying fake or knockoff bags, but if you MUST have it you can always go for a handbag inspired by the real Balenciaga.
