Balenciaga x Bang & Olufsen Speaker Bag

> These days, fashion brands are increasingly trying to encroach on the world of technology, and the Speaker Bag from Balenciaga and Denmark’s Bang & Olufsen is a prime example.

Made to resemble a super chic handbag from the famed Spanish fashion house, the portable speaker is meant to encapsulate the idea of ‘Haute Couture hi-fi.’ Each Speaker Bag is milled from a single block of aluminium, then pearl-blasted, anodised and hand-polished. And, unlike any handbag we’re aware of, you can pump out tunes for up to 18 hours before charging.

And the ‘bag’ part of the product name is not just for show either, as there’s a door in the rear of the device that opens up to a small storage compartment wrapped in Italian leather.

Pick up one of just 20 editions available from the Balenciaga Couture store in Paris and we’re sure you’ll be the talk of the town.
