Hello everyone!
I'm looking to buy a Givenchy Pandora bag but the colour i want was limited edition from S/S 15 resort collection and is now discontinued. If anyone owns a Givenchy Pandora in "Tri Colour Beige/Orange/Black" and wants to sell it to me please let me know. Alternatively, if anyone knows of any reputable sites that still have this colour available please let me know. It was last seen in the sale on Lane Crawford website for £590. Many thanks :smile1:

Hello every one. I plan to buy a black medium pandora. I like the goatskin but for me the texture of the leather is very important because I like to touch my bags and feel the smoothness of the leather. The pepe ones feel very smooth but I've never had the opportuniy to see one in goetskin. Bragmybag explained the givenchy goatskin is very durable but " goat leather has a rather sturdy and rough feel to touch that some are turned off by" . Could the People owning one tell me their advice ? How to compare with for example the chloe leather ? I'm new to Givenchy. Thank you everyone.

I have a pandora in pepe leather and I do like the feel of it but I wouldn' buy it again. I am actually very disappointed with the leather. I have used my bag three times (one of the times was for 30min in total) and the corners have started to look worn (!!!). I have never experienced anything similar before! :(

It is hard to take pictures since tje worn parts are whiteish and the shiny leather also looks white, but here are some to show you:

It is very hard to see in this picture, but the leather close to the seam in the middle lower part of the picture (not the corner of the bag). Looks worse in reality, this actually feels like there will be a hole in leather soon. So thin leather.

When I looked through my bag (after only three uses) I found 6 areas with heavy use. I am close to chocked about this. So would NOT recommend pepe leather for anyone. Choose the other leather!

I have to agree that the Pepe leather is not hard wearing at all ! I'm ultra careful with my things , never set them on the ground and avoid scraping etc and all the corners on my large Pandora are scuffed and wearing thin . Even the zipper pulls have white areas where the thin leather has scratched deeply .
Don't get me wrong I love the bag , it's beautiful but given the choice I would have chosen another leather in hindsight

I am also very careful about my bags so I am so extremely disappointed. Love the bag (the model and appearance) but the leather is killing me already :( and I bought this bag to be durable...well, just have to live with it and never buy anything in pepe again. I am now mentally prepared for the need to patch my poor bag in the future...

I have several Pandoras in the goat leather (including a black medium) and don't find the leather to be rough at all. It has the lovely Pandora slouch yet doesn't look worn (like the pepe version) even after years of use. Particularly if you're getting black, it's a rather carefree all-weather bag.

Thank you, I thought the pepe was durable and when one is buying this type of bag, the investisment is important. Good to know ! The goatskin seems more durable. I hope it's smooth toi. ..

I also thought it was durable, and I did A LOT of research before the purchase. I think one woman here told me pepe isn't durable but I didn't listen to that since everyone else (youtube and reviews etc.) said it was sooooo durable.

And now I regret that. A lot :/ am close to buying a second one that's not pepe haha.

I mentioned it here too after another user as I experienced the same thing after the first take outs. Actually it bothered me at the beginning but doesn't anymore as the leather looks like a worn bag already and the corners don't bother me that much as you can hardly see it if you look for the worn out corners. No one else would have the eyes to see it just like that, almost not noticeable.

Today I got a second Mini in red (don't know the Production name for this color, it's a lighter red but has no orange or pink shade, real red) for around 550€. Just love the Mini Pepe in general as it's so light and small but still so roomy. I bought it from amazon buyvip and I don't trust amazon with designer bags and authenticity like I trust mytheresa etc. and compared it to my other Mini. I noticed the datecode is a little different from my black Mini (one with just numbers, one with letters and numbers ) and the dustbag just says "Givenchy" not "Givenchy Paris". And the smell was strange, not at all like normal leather and way different to my black Mini when I got it. Then again the red color has to be last year or even before that and I don't know how long the bag was laying around somewhere.

Are there any information about Givenchy codes and dustbags etc.?

Normally amazon (buyVIP) wouldn't sell fakes but there was no shop tag like there is with mytheresa and other designer shops. So anyone could exchange it for a fake and send the fake bag back. Then again everything else with the bag is just like my black Mini pepe.

And one more question. My fave color is yellow, want a Giv in yellow and the Pandora Box Mini is my fave bag to get in yellow. Still I love the Pepe leather and wonder if there has ever been a real yellow Pepe Pandora? No orange or brown shade but real yellow.

My pepe leather hasn't let me down at all. I got my pandora in anthracite and aside from the color changing from how I carry my bag, it still looks new. I've carried it just about everyday since I got it last summer and it hasn't failed me.

Hi to be honest I love the Pepe (black medium) due to lightness, almost comparable to my city g12. The corner show lighter color pretty soon as posts mentioned above, but after coloni they are not at all visible, corners are not broken or scuffed, just wears... If u know what I mean?? I am taking it to Thailand soon and will update here if the colloniled corners went bad again! :)
