Is the Pandora a classic style or out of date? Also can it be a workhorse bag?

The fact that the 4G thread only has 2 pages here and I don't see any active threads on Cut-Out tells me their new designs will flop :giggle:

Antigona's the only line keeping them relevant at this point
I almost want them to keep being low key cool, and not super popular to the masses, like Gucci has become. However, they cant keep relying on their classic designs to keep them relevant, as you've noted. I guess there will be revolving door of creative directors until someone gets it right.

I totally agree about the subjectivity. For me, it's never about what's "in favor" vs "out of favor" when it comes to trends. If it fits my current needs, and I like how it looks, and how it looks on me, then I'm going to buy it, carry it, wear it, use it. I also agree with the uniqueness factor. I tend to not like to wear what everyone else is wearing.

I am the same I have never followed trend and the "It" bags. I have a lot of "It" bags now that I bought well after they were the in thing. I tend to buy bags I have looked at and loved for ages when they're no longer desired by everyone.

I bought a second Pandora a few weeks ago. I love the style and it's so practical for me. My medium black and mini olive green I have had and loved for around 10 years so I added a small.

I will always buy bags I love and will use rather than because other people think it's fashionable or seen on every second person. I don't get why some people care what others think so much that they need to ask if it's still in fashion before buying. It shouldn't matter what someone else thinks. There's plenty of in fashion styles of bags and clothing etc I wouldn't be seen dead in but that doesn't stop the next person following on. Each to their own I say. Buy what YOU love.
 
i never Considered the Pandora bc of the brand name written on the top and bc I was worried stuff would fall out. I would say my style is in between rocker and sartorial, neither fish nor fowl. I love the mini puzzle and think it’s pretty practical for a small bag. I love that we are all so different and I adore the pics of the Pandora here.

I also wonder about that :lol::coolio:

So, so true! Pandora is a beautiful and unique-looking bag, truly a staple in Givenchy's lineup, IMO. It is not 'in fashion' now, strictly speaking, but what of it?
 
Actually they’re selling several versions on their website now. I got one recently and have been admiring it and loving it from afar. it’s truly a gorgeous bag but I feel like it doesn’t look right on me. When i look at the pix of how it looks on everyone else, it looks the same on me. Maybe I just need to get used to the shape.
