Hi,
I've just picked up my first Givenchy Pandora - an absolute steal at a luxury auction (thanks to terrible online photos and very little detail) took a bit of a gamble but think it's paid off! Its in great condition but wondering if anyone has any idea what year it might be? Not that I'm worried but would be interesting to know.

I would like to echo @Kmora in that the pepe is not as long-lasting as you think it would be. The goatskin is by far more durable and maintenance-free thanks to the thickness and the quality of the leather. I usually baby my bags, but with this one, I don't have to at all. I have even walked in the rain ( not monsoon) with the bag , and it came out fine as long as you wiped it dry as soon as you can ( don't let it sit around soaking the moisture).

Here's a pic of my medium Pandora in oxblood soaking in the sun. If I can , I would like to add more Pandoras to my collection , but the price is getting a lil OTT.View attachment 3644148

That is a gorgeous colour! I've heard great things about the Pandora's durability so good to hear you confirming this (and taking it to the beach)! Looks like lovely weather over there.

Thanks!

btw, I'm looking into purchasing a Pandora soon, specifically the black one with SHW and it seems that most sites are selling it for more or less $1800. I would just like to ask a few questions because I'm still quite new to the world of Givenchy.

1. How often do sales go with the pandora? and by how much usually? I'm not really quite used to seeing bags on sale since I'm more used to purchasing bags with fixed prices (Louis Vuitton), so it's a nice surprise for me to hear about sales when it comes to Givenchy. I'm really only looking into goatskin pebbled leather in the small size and nothing other than that.

2. Which sites give the best sale discounts/promo codes (and how does one get these codes?) I've read through some posts in this thread and have heard of 20% off discounts and that sounds really amazing.

3. What's the difference between Sugar Goatskin and Regular pebbled goatskin? I saw two black pandoras in bergdorf goodman and one was slightly more expensive (up a hundred) with smaller dimensions.

Thanks for any reply! Hoping to purchase my first Pandora soon.

My SA at Neiman told me the Givenchys that get discounted in end-of-season sale (probably end of May is the next one) will almost always be the seasonal colours, so if you're looking for black, for example, then no point waiting for the sale.

+1 to question 3, I would also love to know the difference between sugar and pebbled goatskin.

My latest addition! Givenchy Pandora Mini Goatskin Leather in Black with SHW [emoji7] Absolutely loving it! Although I adore my Pandora Medium in Black Pepe (have had it for nearly two years), I have found it to be quite large for casual use but I am in love with the style so I've been stalking eBay for that perfect mini & here it is :) I think a small Pandora would have been too close in size to the medium & still not as convenient as the proper cross body. Have also attached a comparison shot against the Pandora Medium & also Givenchy Obsedia Coney (smaller than the Pandora Mini). Loving my small Givenchy family!

image.jpg image.jpg Ooohh LOVE your Pandora! What kind is that - she's so unique! Btw thank you to ALL contributors! I've been stalking this feed and read all 245 pages while deciding upon what size to get. I tried on the small and medium at the store and was surprised at how well the medium fit my 5'3" small to average frame. The medium seems to large in the photos but irl doesn't seem a whole lot bigger than the small. Here is my new Givenchy and next to my mini Anitgona for a family pic. I know I'm late to the Pandora party but nonetheless delighted to participate! Thank you for letting me share.
