Givenchy Pandora

[tenenbaums]

I personally would not buy a Pepe that old unless it’s in excellent condition or great deal. I have both Pepe and goat. You’ll likely find a goat in better condition but if you hold out you can probably find a Pepe in excellent condition. If you want gold hardware you might have to buy a 2014-ish bag though. I think the gold hardware hasn’t been available on the Pandora in quite a while although I could be wrong about that. Just something to consider.

Thank you for your response!!

I decided to take the plunge and order the 2014 one only because fashionph offers free returns & my husband said if I have any doubts about it we’ll send it back to order new one. It was too good of a deal to pass up, it was $995 but 20% off on sale! I prefer the look of silver hardware and this one has gold, so I’m not fully confident I’ll love it but I figure it’s worth trying

I just can’t believe I completely slept on this bag, I originally was interested in one 3 years ago but got a Balenciaga City instead because I thought Pandora wasn’t practical - that’s because I didn’t look at it in person. Yesterday when I tried it on at Nordstrom I was legit drooling over the handle and how versatile it is lol

That’s a good price. I’m a silver HW girl myself too but you might like the gold especially at such a good price. Online retailers’ marketing for this bag just doesn’t do it any justice. It has to be seen and tried on to truly appreciate it. It’s one of my favorite bags. I always disliked it until I actually saw in in person and tried one on. Now I have three. You’ll love the practicality of the bag. I hope it’s everything you expect when you get it!

Can anyone please help me with the authentication of this Large Pandora Pebbled bag. I’m not sure if this is authentic or fake. I have concerns about the serial numbers since it reads MA0142. I made some research and noticed that those serial numbers go with Nightingales. Can anyone help me pleae.

Can man use pandora in small size?

Can man use pandora in small size?

Sure, but a med or large may look more proportional...unless you prefer carrying smaller bags.

If you prefer the small. The strap drop for the long strap is about 19”. Just an FYI if you’re wanting to carry it crossbody. I agree with Randr21 that the med or large may be more proportional and it also depends on what you’re planning to carry in it. If you are of smaller stature or prefer a smaller bag then yes.

I have a friend who carries a small black smooth Pandora religiously; I'm more a traditional/structured bag girl (Givenchy Antigona whipstitch tote, small Nightingale, Nobile...). I didn't think anything of the Pandora but just happened across this black medium Pandora in Pepe/washed leather 3 weeks ago... I was surprised at how comfortable it was to wear on the shoulder and crossbody; was also surprised at the roominess. To be fair, Givenchy bags under R. Tisci seem bigger than their names imply (my "small" Nightingale does not seem "small" at all...). At the time, I was able to take advantage of a discount so I decided to bring the bag home to test it out (tags on, at home only of course!). I'm not sure I could use it everyday but I see it being an amazing travel or certain workdays bag (I do event production and the days I'm on site I need my hands free); my small Nightingale can't be worn crossbody. This bag also seems almost impossible to steal from...

I also prefer this leather; my friend's bag aged beautifully - the leather stretched out a little the way it hangs but was glossy and soft with a beautiful patina. I think the washed leather might look newer longer, but I also think an aged look compliments this bag's look/structure. Will be traveling later this year - looking forward to taking it for a spin!

It’s a beautiful bag especially in the Pepe leather. You can hardly find any black Pandoras on sale. Excellent choice!

Thanks, I bought it in Manila, Philippines!

After 3 years, this is what happened to my Givenchy Pandora in metallic rose gold. Anybody here who experienced the same thing?

Could it be mould? Do you live in a humid environment?

I was there 3 weeks ago in the Givenchy boutique in Paragon.
They have the small Pandora on display. When I asked about their medium Pandora, they took it out from the cabinets. Maybe you can give them a call to find out?
