Balenciaga Qixi collection debuts a limited Qixi 2026 line that stamps the house classic pieces with handwritten pink I ♥ U motifs and arrow feather graphics, the brand said Wednesday.
Balenciaga Qixi collection: what it includes
The Balenciaga Qixi collection includes T shirts, hoodies, short sleeve shirts, sport shorts, denim jackets, mini skirts, drawstring knit skirts, and cotton baseball caps in two colorways, worn black and pure white.
Each piece is stamped with a pink handwritten I ♥ U or I ♥ U 2, paired with an arrow feather motif that can point left or right so paired outfits create a mirrored effect. The range is designed to work as single pieces or as matched looks, giving wearers flexible ways to express a personal style.
Le City suede bag gets crystal graffiti treatment
A highlight of the Balenciaga Qixi collection is a limited Le City bag rendered in black suede with crystal appliques. The bag features crystal motifs including a five point star, bow ribbon, pierced heart with arrow, and a handwritten letter B, arranged like spontaneous graffiti while the Le City silhouette retains its signature contour and hardware.
Campaign and digital extras
Balenciaga said it filmed a new campaign that casts a real life couple, Lo Wai (羅偉) and Lei Ling (李靈), to model the collection in candid, story driven photographs. The couple paint the collection motifs on each other in scenes meant to underline themes of love and companionship.
The brand also launched animated stickers that turn the hand drawn motifs into candy shaped icons for social sharing. The move extends the Qixi theme beyond clothing so fans can use the images as playful digital expressions of affection.
The Balenciaga Qixi collection is available now at select Balenciaga boutiques worldwide and at balenciaga.com, the brand said, with the Le City bag positioned as one of the most recognizable pieces in the range.
The collection ties Balenciaga signature shapes to spontaneous hand drawn imagery to mark Qixi, the Chinese lovers festival that falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, giving the house classics a casual, playful layer for seasonal gifting and everyday wear.
