Givenchy Pandora

[AGirlLovesItaly]

I am sorry to hear this happened. I have never had an issue like this with a Gbag and yours is the first I have heard.

Unfortunately, a smaller retailer who offers significant savings cannot or will not have the same policies as a large retailer like Saks or Nordies etc. I have bought many items from Erica and have been very happy with them and her service. One item did arrive with a defect. I noticed it immediately upon receipt and contacted her. She took the item back and sent me a perfect replacement. The thing that helped in my situation is probably the fact that I just got it and never used it. I think if your situation happened with other online retailers who security tag their items, you would likely get the same response. Once that tag is off, and the item is used, the sale is final..no matter if there is a defect or not.

Just to make the best of the situation, you may want to consult a good leather repair store. Since this is just the fabric inside, you may even want to seek out an alterations / tailoring service to stitch it up nicely for you. It will probably be stronger than ever.

I hope you are able to get it fixed so you can just enjoy your bag.

Good luck!

Thank you for your kind suggestions! In fact, Erica just wrote again, and offered a store credit or repair if I send it back to her. It has made me feel so much more relieved knowing that she stands by her product. In terms of the Pandora bag, it seems that everyone raves about their quality, it must be just me then, I probably got a sour apple. I decided to take your advice, since it's just the lining and thread coming off, I will send it to a local tailor to repair it. Thanks again for helping

I am so glad she offered you some options. Definitely take a good look at the rest of the bag. If it were me, I would just get her stitched up. Not like anyone will notice, right? Overall, the Givenchys have really shown to be well made bags. Gosh, I hope they don't start to scrimp and cut corners down the road. They are a good value in the luxury bag world and I would love to see them keep the quality strong.

Here's my little ray of sunshine, mini Pandora in bright yellow! The color is hard to capture in photos; the mod shot is the most accurate. I'd describe it as buttered popcorn or liquid sunshine! And I probably won't be wearing it with my red pants, but couldn't wait to share here!

Oh wow! That is just a bundle of happiness. Gorgeous yellow. And great mod shot!

Hi everyone!
I have a question about this pandora.
Did Barney's use the wrong photo?
This says that it is a SMALL Pandora, but it looks just like a MINI.
The dimensions listed are 7.0" height x 10.5" width x 6.0" depth.

http://www.barneys.com/on/demandwar...ow?pid=00505030436664&q=small pandora&index=1

This one is listed as a MINI. They look just the same, see?
The dimensions listed are 5.5" height x 9.5" width x 4.5" depth.

I would love a pandora with the look of the mini with the skinny straps and no handle, but with slightly larger dimensions like a small pandora.
If such a pandora exists, basically a bigger mini, than I am buying it right now.
But I've never seen one or even heard of one.
Something tells me that this is just the wrong photo.

Oh, and I LOVE the yellow mini, Juliela. Its just beautiful.

Hi EmilyAnne, I just checked your link and yes, they used the wrong photo. The Mini only comes with a slim cross body strap while the Small comes with both a wider shoulder strap and single roll handle.

I'm a bit surprised Barneys.com overlooked this because BOTH bags listed have mistakes:
- bag listed as Small Pandora is using the picture of Mini
- bag listed as Mini Pandora says the bag has a "Rolled top handle; detachable shoulder strap" when clearly a Mini only has the shoulder strap.

Color transfer will happen. Is your washed panda a darker color? Reds are prone to staining from dark jeans/pants. You may want to get Apple brand leather cleaner. Follow the directions on the bottle. Don't do anything to you panda until you get a leather cleaner. I cannot guarantee what will happen even with the cleaner.

Here is my post regarding color transfer on my pepe grey Pandora.

HTH. Please share how it turns out for you.

Ok thanks Hrhsunshine for your advice. I'll see If I can get hold of the apple leather cleaner. Will let you know how I go

Thanks so much

Sounds good. Since you probably didn't pre-treat your pandora like I did, don't expect the transfer to clean off as well as mine did. There is a chance it may not do much. Best results are on a treated bag so you should consider getting the Collonil spray to pre-treat. That should give you better results for next time. Pls share in the care thread so others can find your posts easily. Looking forward to seeing how it goes. Good luck!

Hi guys!
My newest Givenchy arrived this morning,
A red, sugar mini!
It is perfect for summertime travel and I love it, but there is one thing that is bothering me.

Please, tell me if I am just being too picky.

The outside hardware is silver, but the inside zipper and pull is gold.
It bothers me that the hardware isn't all the same color even though I am the only person who will ever see it. Something about unzipping it and seeing the gold zipper right next to the main silver zipper is annoying.

Please, tell me if this would bother you or if you think I am just being ridiculous!
I apologize for the terrible iPhone pics. You might not even be able to see the difference.
