When I picture Emily Cooper's closet in Emily In Paris, I don't see the Balenciaga City Bag on her shelves. In my mind, the walk-in wardrobe is filled with gingham Kate Spade totes or fringed Silvia Tcherassi bags, both from Season 4. But on August 18, Lily Collins proved the aspiring marketing executive's aesthetic is always evolving, even into Balenciaga's moody catalog.
While filming Season 5 of the Netflix series, Collins was photographed on set in Venice with an anti-Emily carry-all in tow. She toted the Balenciaga City Bag in the most spacious of three models, complete with wrinkled lambskin leather, matte black hardware, and leather fringe atop each zipper. Though the OG duffel circa 2001 is still available on secondhand sites, Collins carried the relaunched 2024 Le City bag, listed at $3,400.
