After making their debut on the Spring/Summer 2026 runway, the Bolero bag and Le 7 bag are finally here.&nbsp;

As any good fashion fan knows, the Spring/Summer 2026 runway presentations garnered plenty of the usual excitement, but among the most monumental events that went down during Paris Fashion Week was Pierpaolo Piccioli's debut collection for Balenciaga. Ruled by sophisticated, contemporary silhouettes and Piccioli's signature penchant for designs laden with substance and emotion, the collection proved to be a monumental debut and marked the beginning of a defining new era for the label.&nbsp;
Throughout its illustrious history, the house has become synonymous with an array of striking styles, but one of the most integral elements of its oeuvre is the handbag offerings. For his debut line, Piccioli introduced two new pieces: the Bolero bag and the Le 7 bag.&nbsp;

The Bolero bag is Piccioli's first official handbag for the house. With its sleek, architectural silhouette, the Bolero bag proved to be a fan favorite the instant it appeared on the runway. The bag is named for the bolero jacket that Crist&oacute;bal Balenciaga introduced during his very first Paris couture presentation back in 1937, but features Piccioli's signature sculptural visual codes, making for a very fitting first accessory.&nbsp;
The Bolero bag is available in medium and mini sizes in a range of hues, including black, curry, rose quartz, and cream calfskin.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the Le 7 bag evokes the grace, culture, and elegance that have historically been synonymous with Paris' 7th Arrondissement, where the Spring/Summer 2026 show took place. The silhouette is timeless, and yet, offers subtle touches of modern practicality, as seen in the multi-compartment interior construction. Plus, thanks to a lock-turn closure featured on the front flap, a hint of shiny metallic detailing and sartorial spunk enter the mix.&nbsp;
The Le 7, a medium-sized shoulder bag, is available in black, curry, and biscuit-colored calfskin as well as a soft moka-toned suede.&nbsp;
Both the Le 7 bag and the Bolero bag are now available to shop <a href="https://www.balenciaga.com/en-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">online</a> and in select boutiques worldwide.&nbsp;
