Givenchy Pandora

[pixiejenna]

hi guys i have a serious dilemma with my givenchy studded pandora that i just bought off consignment (i work for a designer consignment shop so i know the ins and out of fakes but not so much givenchy) but this has me stumped because its apparently a 5 year old bag but i cant even find it online. its technically the givenchy washed leather studded pandora (ball chain?) but i dont even know now that im researching if they even made a studded washed leather..it seems like theyre either smooth leather, smooth leather with studs or washed leather with no studs. The also very weird thing is that the letters are crooked apparently this can happen but i just dont think givenchy would accept that, the embossing and date code seems weird to me too..something just feels off to me but the construction and stitching all seems super legit and in the right places when i compare it to pandoras online..the studs however are more pointy on this bag and are rounded on the ones online...does this bag even exist? if someone could help me that would be amazing! thanks!

Try posting clear required pictures in the authenticate this thread. I'm not a authenticator but 4-5 years ago the front small pocket was a flap pocket not a zippered one. I don't recall seeing this style but i only occasionally look at Givenchy (still haven't found the perfect Pandora yet lol). Some one in the authentication thread can help you.

That's what I think and I'm no expert. I've seen a slightly wonky letter two but in that the whole word seems off. And that's just that part.

I'm considering purchasing this bag: (http://www.net-a-porter.com/product...-pandora-pure-bag-in-cherry-textured-leather-) The Pandora Pure Medium in Cherry. Could someone please tell me how much you can fit in it, and how well it wears. And does anyone know if the colour really is that lipstick red or if it's more like a cherry red?
Thanks

Loving my medium, shiny bubble leather in Moroccan Blue! Such a beautiful shade! Its so unique! View attachment 2252892

Hi there! Sorry for this very random posting, but I was going through this thread and saw your bubbled leather Pandora! What a beautiful bag!!!! Love the colour too!!!
I was wondering how the bag's holding up? Any wear and tear, fading, etc.? I've read that bubbled leather is the most durable compared to goatskin and pepe. Thanks in advance!!

An authentication question is not the appropriate post for this thread. Since you already bought this bag and don't have a history of participating on TPF, you won't qualify to submit an authentication request. I would suggest you find an online handbag authentication service. The are reasonably priced and work through photos.

**I would ask everyone to refrain from discussing any characteristics that would suggest fake or real to keep such insights from fakers**

Thank you.

I did only state wonky letters if that was directed at me. Which anyone can see.... I didn't specify anything else.

Sorry about that will unsubscribe from the thread.... :/

No, it was not directed at you. Note that I stated "everyone". Just a general reminder. Please do not feel the need to not participate and contribute otherwise.

My new Medium Pandora
I think it's the color "brick" - it has some orange-ish undertones

Here's a photo of a black bubble leather bag I owned but didn't keep
what a shame, it's pretty!




but it was much heavier leather

I just bought a black medium pepe Pandora from Barney's. I checked out Neiman Marcus over the weekend to compare to the Nightingale. The zipper for the Pandora is a lot more stiffer. I know that the Nightingale has 2 zippers that meet each other to open/close. But upon inspecting the bag, the zipper on the Nightingale is like night and day (no pun intended). It zips like butter unlike the Pandora. Any thoughts?

The zips on my mini and small pandoras are just as smooth as on my mini antigona, I think they're the same ones to be honest.
