Debuted in Balenciaga’s Fall 21 collection, the Le Cagole bag takes its name from French slang, representing an attitude of “dressing to the nines”.
The Le Cagole collection comes in multiple sizes – small, XS, and mini. It retains signature elements from Balenciaga’s classic Motorcycle Bag, including distressed rivets, leather zip tassels, and washed leather, with the small and XS sizes featuring an additional heart-shaped mirror charm that embodies maximalist aesthetics.

The standout feature of Le Cagole is its adoption of the trending Hobo bag shape, characterized by its curved crescent silhouette. The “Hobo” name originates from the bags carried by wanderers – their nomadic lifestyle required carrying belongings in slouchy, crescent-shaped bags that exude a relaxed, free-spirited vibe.
· Gold Leather ·
This mini Le Cagole is crafted from soft fine lambskin with delicate crackled texture that resembles natural creases from use, creating a vintage appeal.
The gold metallic sheen resembles gold leaf wrapping the bag, while its reflective quality mimics highlighter powder, creating a dreamy, radiant luxurious effect.
· Rhinestone Details ·
With the resurgence of Y2K aesthetics, bling-bling rhinestone elements have become essential in fashion, bags, and accessories.
Le Cagole’s gold cabochon rivets are densely set with sparkling rhinestones, and the metal belt buckles on both sides are also covered in rhinestones, creating a particularly lively and fancy effect against the gold background.
· Dual Straps ·
The bag comes with 2 straps – a 40cm detachable chain shoulder strap and a 103cm adjustable, detachable leather strap.
The dual straps offer versatile carrying options – underarm carry for a modern look, crossbody for casual versatility. You can also carry it by hand or use it as a clutch, adapting to different styling needs.
· What Fits Inside ·
Le Cagole features a convenient zip closure with 2 card slots in the black cotton canvas lining.
Despite its compact size, the lightweight bag can surprisingly fit essentials like a phone, perfume, lipstick, compact mirror, keys, and earbuds, with room to spare – its practical capacity exceeds expectations.
