Balenciaga

Balenciaga is a Spanish luxury fashion brand situated in Paris, France that was created in 1919 by Cristóbal Balenciaga in San Sebastian, Spain. Balenciaga manufactures ready-to-wear, footwear, handbags, and accessories, and it licenses its name and logo to Coty for fragrances. Kering, a French conglomerate, presently owns the brand. Balenciaga is best recognized for its shoes, which feature contemporary silhouettes and eye-catching designs. To create innovative, eye-catching pieces, the brand employs unique materials and prints.

Balenciaga shoes are made from materials such as lambskin leather and elastane. The lambskin leather provides a warm feel, while the elastane ensures adequate flexibility. Their shoes have hand-stitched accents as well as machine stitching for added strength and longevity. In addition, as a quality assurance measure, the Balenciaga emblem is debossed onto the tongue of each shoe. Lastly, to bring its designs to life, the business employs technologies such as 3D printed rubber and 3D knit cloth.
