Givenchy Pandora

[randr21]

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

I'm guessing you bought it without trying it on? Since the panda can be carried multiple ways, wear it different ways until you get used to a preferred way. If empty, it doesn't feel bulky at all for me. Consider how much stuff you're carrying based on which carry style to lessen/distribute bulk.

Sometimes an item fits a certain image we have when we buy it and then doesn't quite work once we get it home. Good thing there's always resale. Hope you try wearing it and then decide.

In my experience, the small pandora doesn't get so slouchy , as the medium size

Hello!

I am looking at the black Pepe leather Pandora in size small on the ssense website. There are two sizes smalls that are mostly the same except one of the sizes is .5 an inch different, and one of them mentions having open pockets while the other one doesn’t. I’m wondering if anyone has this exact one without the open pockets on the inside or is this a clue that it may be a fake? I want to of course get the cheaper one, but want to make sure it has all the features I want.

Here are the links. Both are on sale but one is less expensive than the other.

Thanks!!

Love that this thread is still active (ish)! I've been wanting a panda for a while and trying to decide between small and medium. Seems like the small doesn't get as slouchy as the medium, which is what I like about the look. But is there a way to search for only mod shots in this thread?

I'm only 5'0" so I was wondering if the medium would be too bulky...any other shorties on this thread?

Me too! Wooo!! Except I have suspicions mine is not authentic - have any of you seen a black panda mini with beige-y interior? I ordered from C*ttire today.

It's here! Sorry I don't know much about pandas (yet). Ordered mine from fashionette so I don't doubt its authenticity.

It's gorgeous! There's definitely something about that wrinkled leather that makes the bag stand out. Congrats! Is this a Mini?

Thanks! It's a medium.

That's an extremely skinny strap for a medium. And there's no front zipper.
Looks like my mini. It's lovely but I doubt it's medium.

It was described as a medium, but I'm really no expert on pandas I kind of bought it on a whim

Hate when they don't label items correctly but it's a beautiful colour. I have mini, small and medium and the mini is by far the most useful given how much it holds for its size.

I think it's a Mini, like Jaime said - resale websites would often misdescribe the item, especially when sizes or colors are concerned. The Medium Pandora (from what I understand as a newbie in the Givenchy world) comes with a top handle and the strap is connected by the hooks to the rings. But, it's a gorgeous bag nonetheless I think it holds quite a lot for a "mini" bag... which is probably why it was described as a Medium.
