Hi ladies.
Well I just received my very first Givenchy bag! I saved up, sold things I loved, and now I have a dilemma...
The bag arrived...the workmanship is outstanding...I just love the style, the size, the feel,....my problem...the color looks completely different than it did from the photo where I ordered it and I don't know how to feel.
I can't return it (not that I want to) it's just not an option. The first photo is of the bag when I saw it online and just feel in love!! I just loved the color and how the leather and the suede had such a nice contrast. The second photo is what the bag actually looks like. And yes, they are the same bag....I compared all of the markings....
I just don't know what to do...I keep telling myself that at least the dark brown won't show dirt and marks like the light tan would have, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I don't know if Givenchy even makes this exact bag in a light tan as the first photo seems to be.
Gosh, I would be just SO incredibly happy that I finally, after years of searching, found my every day bag...if it was the color I thought it was going to be....
The dark brown is so pretty, the photo actually doesn't do it justice, I'm just not a dark color bag girl....
I can't resell the bag because I will take a huge loss on it...
Does anyone know if the dark brown suede areas will lighten over time? Maybe if I let the sun hit it a lot? Or, is there a reputable company that could make the dark brown suede a lighter color? I don't want to do anything to it myself because I read a lot of horror stories. If there was a company out there that could lighten the dark brown I would do it in a heartbeat because I would carry this bag for years....
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! My poor Nightingale is sitting beside me right now, I'm sure feeling unloved, and she's just gorgeous and everything I want in a bag...I want to love her!!!!
