Balenciaga Winter 23 Collection: Crush Lilies Printed Shoulder Bag
The Winter 23 collection introduces this Crush Lilies printed large shoulder bag, featuring Balenciaga’s signature hourglass silhouette and B-letter metal clasp. Crafted from textured paper-effect calfskin, the delicate lily print creates a beautiful contrast with the bag’s bold proportions.
Design Inspiration
The Crush Sling bag debuted in Balenciaga’s Winter 23 runway show as the newest member of the Crush family. Its standout feature is the replacement of chunky chain straps with adjustable leather handles, making it lighter and more versatile for shoulder or hand carry.

From the inaugural Hourglass bag in Winter 19 to subsequent Downtown and Crush iterations, design elements like the arched base, curved flap, and B-letter clasp have become Balenciaga’s signature aesthetic codes.

Paper-Effect Leather
This oversized shoulder bag measures 39.8×24.8×14.9cm, making a bold statement while maintaining Balenciaga’s rebellious streetwear aesthetic.
The paper-effect calfskin exterior with soft nappa lambskin lining ensures comfort despite the bag’s size. The intentionally wrinkled leather develops a unique patina over time, enhancing its vintage appeal.
Lily Print
The bag features delicate white and yellow lily watercolor prints against a pale green background, extending to the base and strap. The floral motif adds romantic elegance that contrasts beautifully with the bag’s strong silhouette.
