Cristóbal Balenciaga retired in 1968. By then he’d worked in Paris for 30 years after moving there in 1937. Balenciaga opened his first boutique in Spain in 1919.

In 1986, Jacques Bogart SA acquired the rights to Balenciaga, and Kering purchased the brand in 2001. On 1stDibs, find vintage Balenciaga clothing and accessories from top sellers around the world.
