So, I love and use my medium Pandoras all the time. I just ordered a small and after receiving it wondered if it is too young looking for someone over 40. It just seems like a younger style than the medium pandas. Opinions please

I’m over 50 and I have 3 minis and one small. I love the small size and I’ve never thought it was a style for younger people. I don’t think any of the sizes are limited to an age category. I get compliments all the time on them. The small is just fine for any age. I’d like a larger one someday but I think I need to stick with what I have for now and mix it up a bit. I do love a Panda! Enjoy your new bag! :)

Hey everyone, I just bought a 2015 mini Pandora off Vestiaire that needs some TLC, which is what I was looking for because I can’t afford new and I know how to restore it, but I’m concerned about the tag. I thought it might just be faded but on closer inspection I can’t see anything at all. Did this happen at any point on the Pandora bags or do I need to get in touch with Vestiaire? To my eye, at least, it looks legit apart from that, but I’m not an expert.

Panda is ageless. It may be bc you are more used to the larger size, you dont own any bags of similar size, e.g. you didnt jump on the recent smaller bag trend bandwagon. Whatever the case, if you have reservations, it may not be for you. Id suggest carrying it around the house styled with what you'd wear to go out and see if it grows on you before deciding.

What cant you see? We dont have an authenticator for this forum, so you may have to go to a paid service to be certain.

The first photo, the tag is blank. It doesn’t say Givenchy or anything at all, although as in the second photo, the serial number is on the back of it. I’m not necessarily looking for anyone to authenticate, just asking if the inside tag is normal for a bag from that time, like if anyone has seen that before or has it on their own bag.

I am no expert but have 3 and have sold another 2.

3 total have been the same leather. Every one of them has Givenchy written on the inside label and the serial number on the back of it.
The metal logo also doesn't have that rectangle shape around it that the image does and I don't think the actual tag looks right in the pics the cut and material look off as does the embossing. But again I'm no expert just an owner of many ranging mainly from 2013 - 2016. My most recent was last year but in another leather type.

Having another look I believe my mini Pandora is exactly the same as yours. Same colour (green colour?) and leather I also believe I bought it in 2015 though from net a porter. Definitely has a couple of differences just going by those images.
 
Here's some pics. I don't have any that don't have slightly rounded corners on the tag. None square like your images. 8 had another mini I sold from just before this which was the same too. Oh and mine has gold hardware yours appears to be silver but I wouldn't think that would change the other details.

Thank you. I didn’t even notice the rectangle under the metal logo until you pointed it out! I’ve got in touch with Vestiaire and included the photos. Mine’s black, and it does come in silver, but yeah, the rest isn’t adding up. Hopefully I can get my money back.

Hi everyone,
New member here, I hope you guys can help me determine if my Pandora mini is authentic or counterfeit. I bought the bag through online, seller said it was from Korea. It has givenchy underzip and code. Please help me, I also have givenchy whip limited edition but Im not sure if I can ask for help to also authenticate it from this room since the title of the room is givenchy pandora, pls let me know if I can also ask help to authenticate my limited edition here, thank you so much in advance

There are no Givenchy authenticators on the forum so you may need to use a paid service but as an owner of a few there’s a few things that look off to me including the tag as you see in my picture above mine all look like that in each bag where are the shape and print on yours is different.
That’s just one difference I can see but you’ll need to use a paid service to be sure as I’m only going off what mine look like that we’re all bought from reputable retailers.

Thank you, I really appreciate your response❤
 
i have a question. i bought a small pandora in black...the leather is amazing and i love the zipper detail....the only thing about it is that it hangs awkwardly...i think it's the nature of the bag because of the shape and the way it falls...did it take any of you a while to get used to it? it feels a bit bulky/sticking out of my side...unfortunately, i can't return it as it's way past the date where i would have been able to....
thanks

Give it time to relax, the hang will probably change as the leather gets softer.
