The Hourglass bag made its way into the world of Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2019. Its shape serves as a nod to the house's history, while shocking fashion fans and celebrities with its styles. It is inspired by the fantastic waistcoats Cristóbal Balenciaga made so long ago-the 1950 by the way. Those garments boasted clean lines and an effect on the silhouette of a woman, something that defines Balenciaga's signature style: sharp contours and angles, emphasizing the curves around the waist. The result is reimagined in the Hourglass bag by Demna, the brand’s creative director. The hourglass is stylish yet practical, the uniqueness in such an hourglass form is created by a structured frame and a specific curve in the middle to make it look sophisticated and stylish piece that stands out above the rest of the handbags. Since then, its trend has gained momentum due to variations in materials, colors, and embellishments to add freshness and desirability to the style.
