Anyone have a Givenchy pandora still? How much do you love it? Considering a medium one since Balenciaga has been so spotty lately.

I love my medium panda! I was carrying it this past week. Mine is the in goatskin: it's hearty, squishy and I rough it up a bit and it still looks great. I appreciate the handle for shoulder carry and the longer strap for crossbody.
I had an older large one which I gave to my daughter. Might regret that, just a little, it's a gorgeous bag.
No, it's more of a pebbled leather. The crinkly ones are the pepe leather, which is softer but equally beloved.
I have the small (not mini) black pepe and I love it! The small holds ALOT bc of the cube shape. The single handle fits perfectly over the shoulder and the bag is super comfy to wear under your arm. The only thing I don't love is the crossbody strap is so long and isn't adjustable, so it falls in a really weird place on my upper leg, so I pretty much only wear it under my arm. I'm only 5'4" so maybe taller folks don't have an issue. I keep thinking I will take it to a cobbler to get shortened.
If you're on the fence, get one! It's a great bag! It's one of my all-time favs! I've also been considering a medium.

I should add that I’m very particular about how leather feels. I’m a smooshy or really soft kind of leather preference.
Me too! To be fair, I bought my pepe pre-owned (as I buy all my bags) and it arrived all squished up in the package. I don't know how a new panda pepe is, maybe it is stiffer, but mine is a literal puddle! More so than my Bals.
See I’m considering the medium now because of the shorter strap
Ah. But mine was crinkled but very tough leather. Not smooshy at all.
The prices lately have sky rocketed. Especially on the real real. Hopefully hype will die down over the new release or the city. :/
Speaking of outrageous prices, TRR just sold this fake for $1000. So much for their “expert authentication”.
