Givenchy Pandora

[Gvamty]

Hi folks,

Need some help deciding between sizes on Pandora. Just ordered this small pandora from Barneys

There were other Medium pandoras available but, I loved the detailing on this. However from looking at pics of sizes I'm wondering if small will end up being too small for me(5'7 and not slim). What do you guys think?

I have no idea regarding the size, I'm 5'4" and I got the large because I must have the biggest purse I can find, but I love the detailing on your purse too! I've not seen this before! It's lovely!

I would reco getting to retailer nearby to try on the different sizes
I personally like the extra slouchy look, so I'm leaning towards the medium.
It also depends on what you're thinking of carrying in your bag too~

But I have to say, the color and stitching is beautiful! Congrats!!

I am just 5 ft tall and the small is perfect on me. If I were taller, I'd definitely want the medium as I need the extra small front pocket. And I agree, you should go to a store to check out sizes so you know how they compare.

Thank you for your responses! Unfortunately, my local NM/nordies don't carry the bag. I'll have to drive an hour to go check out the bag and between my 4yr old and work, it just a difficult thing.

I'm not one to carry a lot in my bag but, want it to be proportionate to me nevertheless.

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.

Oh wow, this is the first time I've seen a bag with differently colored hardware! I mean I've seen them on some but the design is intentional, like you can see them on the exterior. Thanks for posting, just in case I come across a mini pandora that doesn't have the same hardware color!~

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!

I love the color! Is it from the current collection, the one that comes with the fuchsia pink shade? I think I might have seen this in person, and thought it was butter popcorn more than lemon yellow. I am actually looking for a small pandora in lemon yellow only because I have another bag in shade close to butter popcorn/ sunshine/ mustardy shade.

I'm 5'3" and got the medium in slate gray. I LOVE it so much I'm pre-ordering the tobacco brown. I think the bag fits me just fine. That being said, you'll love the bag in any size.

Hi!

I have just bought my first pandora small but I find the shoulder strap too long for my size. I'm 5 feet 2.. Is there any way to shorten the length of the strap?

i have the same problem with the strap as well. i'm using my katespade strap now for my pandora, and i'm happy with the result. both strap and bag are in black color and gold hardware.

I agree with Real or Faux, that crossbody style is the only way to "shorten" a strap. If you believe you will keep this bag for a LONG time, if not forever, you may want to consult a very good leather / shoe repair shop about shortening it permanently. However, if you ever resell this bag, you will have to disclose that and it may affect the sale...or it may not if a shorter person is interested.

I had a quick question. Do the purses stain clothing? I haven't tried mine out yet.

Tomorrow I'm leaving to see my mother and I'm taking both my sugar and my Pepe with me to show my mother. I think I mentioned that she was with me for the unveiling of the flower camo and she commented that I'd lose my keys in it because it was tiny. Wait until she sees these beauties! I'm thrilled to pieces to have them!

Regarding shortening the strap, the only way I can think of shortening it is by "wearing" the bag shorter on the body, AKA, cross body style. There is no shortener on it because the metal would damage the leather on the strap if there was a way to shorten it. It also isn't a belt style strap, so there aren't any holes in it either to make it shorter.

Sorry, that's the only way to make it shorter... wear it as a cross body style.

Sorry, didn't see you asked me a question. I don't know of the bags staining clothes. Of course, lighter colors can show color transfer from dark clothing...not just jeans either. I know a TPFr who got color transferred to her purse from her black wool coat. I treat my lighter colored bags with Collonil. You can search the care thread or my Pandora products thread under references, i think. I go into detail about treating.

just got hold of a Pandora. just wanna check is it really necessary to pretreat the bag before using? What if you used it before doing anything can something still be applied? will applying of the chemical cause any damage to the bag?

Congrats on your Panda. It is ok if you wear the bag prior to any kind of treatment. You can treat whenever you want. Refer to my Pepe care thread under references. The Collonil can be used on goatskin as well.

Here is my Grey Antique-Effect Medium Pandora Box......

Stunning bag and love the way you displayed it for the photo.

I think it's goatskin? seems like grey is my new favorite color

That is pepe, which is sheepskin. That looks to be the anthracite grey. Has warm undertones. That is a great neutral. I have it in medium.

I have tried the small on myself and I am 5-4. Was fine on me but I even felt it was a tad small. I prefer a bit more capacity. I would guess a medium is more proportional for your frame. The medium hangs really nicely. If you don't fill it all the way, it just lays flatter against your body. Good luck with your search!

Hi Goldfish - it is from S/S 2014 and I'd say it's more of a butter yellow than lemon...there is one available now on FarFetch if you want to check out some stock photos!

To Zodiac:

I'm going to post my pix of the both Pandoras, hopefully tomorrow. Have a few more errands to catch up on before, but I'm going to try hard. I made a promise and I don't like breaking them .

Friends?,

PS Your find is way better than mine. I like it better, it's more eye candy for me!
