NEW YORK. — Both North West and Blue Ivy Carter continue to establish themselves as key Gen Alpha style stars on their own right, and it seems like their wardrobes have more in common than you might initially think. Cue: North West and Blue Ivy Carter’s new accidental twinning moment, which might make you want bag shopping ASAP.
Just a refresher: over the weekend, Blue Ivy made headlines for attending Super Bowl LX, rocking the it bag of 2026: a Balenciaga Neo Cagole City tote in light blue denim. Now, just a couple of days later, North West is showing off her own blue Balenciaga City bag on the TikTok account she shares with her mom, Kim Kardashian.

In a couple of videos posted to the account late on February 9, North West shows off her Balenciaga small City bag in a teal shade, which perfectly matches her now-trademark hair colour. Instead of denim like Blue Ivy’s, North West’s bag featured the classic leather finish, and she carried it from the top handles, forgoing the longer crossbody strap altogether.
In another video, North West showed the bag in context with her casual outfit, which featured her trusty platform clogs, plus extra baggy striped tracksuit pants and a graphic sweater, all also from Balenciaga.
The Balenciaga city bag, and similar styles, have been one of the trendiest bags as of late, and now with the Gen Alpha stamp of approval, it seems like its reign is far from over.
Secondhand and vintage markets have been booming for such silhouettes, which come in multiple sizes, colors, and finishes, further enhancing their versatility.
North West has been an avid Balenciaga fan for a while, and we’ve previously seen her toting a mini Le Cagole while out and about. If the moto-inspired style of the Balenciaga bags isn’t for you, the thing to take away from both North West’s and Blue Ivy’s outfits is that bright bags are in, and they are a great way to add a pop of color to an otherwise understated look! — TEENVOGUE
