Streetwear Luxury: 4 Balenciaga and Bottega Pieces That Go With Everything

If you like your outfits to feel a little bit street, a little bit polished, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta are hard to beat. Below are four pieces from Exchange Store that tick the boxes for everyday wear, big nights out and everything in between, plus some ideas on how to style them.

1. Balenciaga Black Shopping Tote Logo Bag

This is the kind of bag you can carry all week without getting bored of it. Clean lines, bold logo, and a shape that works for both office days and weekend plans.

  • Why it works: Structured, minimal and easy to pair with almost any outfit.
  • Wear it with: Oversized blazer, straight-leg denim and sneakers.
  • Good to know: Top handles plus a crossbody strap makes it genuinely practical, not just pretty.

2. Balenciaga Hourglass Handbag in Small – Green

The Hourglass is one of those bags that does the talking for you. The curved base, the structured top handle and the green finish give it a statement feel without being loud for the sake of it.

  • Why it works: Sculptural shape that instantly dresses up simple outfits.
  • Wear it with: All-black look (knit, trousers, boots) so the green really stands out.
  • Details that matter: Top handle plus strap, so you can switch between handheld and crossbody depending on where you’re going.

If you like this direction, it’s worth looking through the rest of the Balenciaga collection for more structured, modern silhouettes.

3. Balenciaga Leather Bag – Gold-Tone Crossbody

This compact leather crossbody is one of those pieces you end up reaching for more than you expect. It’s small enough for nights out but still fits the basics, and the gold-tone finish gives it that “I made an effort” feel even when the rest of your outfit is relaxed.

  • Why it works: Simple boxy shape with just enough shine to feel special.
  • Wear it with: Wide-leg trousers, a white tee and heeled sandals, or over a slip dress for dinner.
  • Value angle: Pre-owned pricing means you’re getting designer hardware and finishing at a much more approachable number.

4. Bottega Veneta Padded Cassette in Kiwi

Bottega’s padded Cassette is basically modern “quiet luxury” with a bit of attitude. The maxi intreccio weave and the padded structure give it presence, while the kiwi green keeps it fun.

  • Why it works: It looks like a hero piece but still functions as an everyday crossbody.
  • Wear it with: Neutrals (cream, grey, black) to let the colour stand out, or clash it with prints if that’s more your style.
  • Craftsmanship: Soft nappa leather and Bottega’s signature weaving make it feel instantly premium.

You can find more low-key but luxe pieces in the Bottega Veneta collection, especially if you like clean lines and minimal logos.

How to Build Outfits Around These Pieces

  • Start with the bag: Treat the bag as the focus and keep the rest of your look simple. A strong shape or colour (Hourglass or Cassette) does most of the styling work for you.
  • Mix casual and tailored: Streetwear-leaning pieces like the Balenciaga tote look best against something a bit sharper – think tailored trousers or a structured blazer.
  • Repeat your tones: If your bag has gold hardware, echo it with jewellery or belt details so the whole outfit feels pulled together.

Why Pre-Owned Luxury Makes Sense

  • You’re getting access to iconic designs and past-season pieces that are hard to track down new.
  • Pricing is often significantly below full retail, without compromising on authenticity.
  • Buying pre-owned supports a more circular, less wasteful way of shopping luxury.

Exchange Store carefully authenticates each item, so you get the designer look and build quality with the reassurance that it’s the real thing.
