I got my baby. She is beyond beautiful. Managed to snag the small for $2000 aud. So pleased. And it feels so luxe...something that hasnot been been apparent in a lot of designer bags these days
No one can touch and examine this bag without acknowledging its quality and craftsmanship. I recently ventured into Loewe and I'm very disappointed in the quality of their shoes and bags...
ok so I ended up returning small beige color I had but I’m still stalking this bag and I really need a solid black color bag so since you had it , how do you like the durability ?
I returned mine because there was scratches on the hardware but I’m thinkingif I keep it open all the time I might love it. Please let me know your thoughts ? Thank you
I think I got really lucky because the store I bought from (Reebonz) left the hardware stickers on the top corners and also on the clasp. I took the plastic off the bits that were obvious but I left it on the plaque but which says “givenchy” on the gold clasp and that’s generally where the other magnetic clasps hits on when the flap is closed. So far it’s been good and I haven’t seen any major scratches with the protective film. I knowledge that minor scratches are unavoidable and I’ve had a long journey to make peace with that in my bags. Unless the hardware is made of diamond...there are always going to be scratches...we can minimise them but they will always be there. Even precious metals are prone to scratches. But ultimately, a bag is a functional item and hopefully doesn’t stop you from enjoying and carrying it. I think a bag is a total vibe and it shouldn’t make you stressed out too much when you carry them.
I got this bag twice in different colors and returned both . First one I received had scratches on it. It is very delicate leather and also hardware scratches . It’s magnet closure with clasp . First time around I was trying to close it properly and got scratches from where two metals hit each other and I knew if I we’re to use this bag on daily basis or frequently it’ll look old within weeks . Second time I got this bag I kept the clasp open like sort of peekaboo bag and let the clasp hang and magnet used to do semi closure . I don’t usually care to close my bags too securely . I don’t take public transportation so having secure bag is really not priority for me . I still had scratches on the hardware even when I barely used it and had protective film on it. Also strap on top to oddly placed. When you want to use this bag as crossbody , the strap was on the way.
I just think the reason it’s deeply discounted it was priced very high for a bag that didn’t have givenchy logo prominently displayed . I didn’t have functionality or practicality .

I’ve read a few things regarding your points. Someone recommended leaving the plastic film on the underside of the flap to prevent scratching as she did. Another person attached the long strap in front of the handle on one side and in back of the handle on the other side so the handle stood up straight Up without falling forward. i did read that the leather scratches but that it buffs out with your finger. I hope that is true. Givenchy bags are usually around $2000 so the $3000 price tag probably turned away people for sure. I just found it for $1410 which seems to good to pass up. Did you get a different bag instead?
Price you got it for is amazing . I would definitely keep it for that price . I paid full amount and first I got the saddle color and it had scratches on it and sales person buffed it out with leather conditioner ( floor model- I didn’t want to wait it to shipped from warehouse)
and it changed the mat finish it had. It was like more shiny . The scratches were very faint but I don’t like to pay full price and not receive perfect bag. I don’t mind scratches when it happens while I use it . Wear and tear happens but not before I use it . I returned that bag and ordered black and it came perfect condition so what I did is I left protective film on hardware where magnet touches the other side only . I took the bag out maybe twice and size was too small ( I had medium ) awkward way it was on me as cross body . I’m 59 so I imagine someone shorter it will look much nicer . I had size small by the way but I would call the size medium in capacity. It just lacked credibility too for example I have givenchy antigona and it doesn’t have any prominent logo anywhere but it completes outfits in such a way and the quality shows that people always compliment that bag.

Just purchased this bag from My Theresa and can’t wait to be delivered to me 
It is a mini version...the Storm grey colour is gorgeous and the size is perfect for me....I have tried that bag few days ago in my local store, but when I came back to purchase it, it was on sale and already sold out for 995 €
Then I tried to purchase it on Givenchy UK website, because it is on sale for 954 £, but there is no delivery to Ireland
So I had to purchase it from My Theresa, where is only one left now for 1323 €, but did not want to be left out of the bag, since it is going to be discontinued and nowhere to be found in the near future
Photos this week, I hope
