Givenchy Pandora

[Antigone]

Price is US$580

Black leather - not sure what leather is this though.

These are the measurements - I'm guessing Medium?

• Height is 9.3" (23.5cm)
• Width is 12.0" (30.5cm)
• Depth is 4.9" (12.5cm)
• Shoulder Strap Drop : 9.1" (23cm)

Condition:

• overall : small scratch(es) / slightly dirty / slightly losing colour
  sole : slightly worn on corner
  strap(s) : torn and needs repairing
  main opening : slightly worn on corner
  
• (Inside)
  overall : slightly dirty

I'm new to Pandora (actually new to designer bags in general) so not sure if this is a good deal.

A brand new medium goatskin Pandora is $ 2,150.00 at Nordstrom right now, so the price for the preloved one you're eyeing is a lot lower than new retail price. It doesn't seem to be in the best condition, don't think I'd pay almost $ 600.00 for it tbh. It's completely up to you if you're able to look past flaws and you think it's worth it though!

Thanks! I really have no idea what's a good price for a preloved Pandora.

Of course!

To me it's not so much the price itself, but the level of wear and tear you're willing to put up with for a good price. Besides the missing strap, it seems like it's just normal wear and some dirt though, so if you get it and give it a good clean, I bet it's fine. However, depending on the level of dirtiness it might need a professional clean, which costs money, and then you might as well have found a slightly more expensive preloved bag in a better condition...

Buying preloved is difficult, so many things to consider! Good luck no matter what you do though!

Thank you! I'm still thinking about it...I really like the style but to be honest I don't know much about Givenchy or Pandora. I've been obsessing over Balenciaga the past few weeks but today, well, I guess I've shifted to Givenchy Pandora. I love how laidback, rock chick it looks!

OK so I purchased the item (because I'm so impulsive) and I reminded the seller to send the torn strap.

Seller goes, there is no strap.

I copied and pasted the condition stating that the strap is torn.

Seller goes, we were referring to the strap attached to the bag.

Told the seller, that's called a handle. And the handle of the bag in the pictures in the listing is perfectly fine.

I also showed them another Pandora bag they have listed which describes the condition of the handle.

Now waiting for the seller's response.

I really should not have been impulsive. :/

 

[Antigone]

I think I found the tear - it's not in the handle. One of the hardwares where the end of the crossbody strap will be connected is missing.

Is this worth it for the price or too much work?

Will the strap be alright if I loop them in the hardware of the handle?

You're wasting too much time on this old damaged bag. Sale season is here, and you should be able to find a new one in perfect condition for a similar price if you stalk the sales.

You're right. I will ask the seller to cancel the transaction.

any thoughts? real or fake... thank you

 

[HazelLovesBags]

I believe this is a fake. The tab for Givenchy should be a tab stitch only at the top and not throughout.

 

[rochelleMD]

True. Saks sometimes has Pandora’s on sale for a very good price if you can catch it.

It arrived!! UPS originally said it wouldn’t be here till Tuesday next week, but I woke up with a “your package has been delivered” email, ran outside and there it was! I’ve already moved into it since this means I can use it for the weekend.

First impressions: I’ve had my medium for two years and I completely forgot how stiff the leather is to begin with, can’t wait for it to be broken in and slouchy! I’m amazed at how roomy the small is, it fits almost everything I usually carry in my medium for work. The goat leather seems super durable and I love the way it looks, I think I prefer silver hw. I also like that the lobster clasps are smaller, the ones on the medium are pretty blingy, especially in gold. Not going to play favorites though, my pepe medium is one of my most frequently used bags and I think these two Pandoras complement each other beautifully! I’m in love!

Edit: To clarify, the small one (left) is the one I just bought. The medium (right) I've had for two years.
