Hey Fashionistas & Fashionistos! There are only a couple more days until the Balmain x H&M collection launches on Thursday, November 5th at 8:00am! Set your clock, camp out online at a store and do whatever it takes to get in on this shopping event. I am sure it will break the internet!
I am super excited about this collaboration and had a hard time deciding on what items I would like to covet! The long-awaited collection is comprised of 109 pieces in total for men and women which includes apparel, outerwear, footwear and accessories. With prices range from $17.99 to $649.00, there is bound to be something to fit everyone’s budget. Some of you maybe gasping at price tag of some of these items, but trust me compared to their luxury line this is a steal! A top in the Balmain line can range from $800 and up. We are getting a little taste of heaven with this H&M pairing for a fraction of the cost.
Depending on your taste level something’s may be a little over the top for you, but don’t fret there a few subtle designs. Be ready for long lines and very strict rules for purchasing and returning items. Make sure you are in love with your purchase because you are only allowed 3 days for a full refund on your return. Be sure to contact your store beforehand to see if the collection is being carried there, as they are only being sold at specific locations. The flagship store is located in Herald Square and will carry the full assortment.
These once in a lifetime collaborations with high end designers is a one and done deal. You and a limited few will own these designs that you will not see again, so buy with confidence! I have included a few of my favorites from the brand for you to peruse through.
