Givenchy Mini Melancholia Purse | Black Grained Patent Leather Evening Clutch

Posted on: Jun 15

From the Nightingale to the George V shopper, Givenchy has given fans of oversized purses something to smile about. While these handbags are convenient for day wear, when the sun sets most of us want to travel a little lighter. That's where the Mini Melancholia purse steps in.

Patent leather is always eye-catching, but often it becomes a little too flashy for my tastes. Here a pebble-grained texture tones things down a tad, giving the purse a finish which is elegant rather than ostentatious.

That same philosophy has been applied to the hardware. The smooth shiny gold gleams, and there's just enough to catch the eye without overwhelming. The Givenchy logo is abstract so it adds interest without obnoxiously advertising the brand.

It might be called mini, but this certainly isn't the smallest evening bag I've seen. The generous space features a zippered pocket, and a secret love letter compartment. How very French!

I love the soft leather shoulder strap, which is much wider at the middle for comfortable carrying. It makes such a refreshing change from those painful metal chains we typically see! If you're not as mad about it, or you'd just prefer a plain clutch, it's easy to remove.

There's so many elements to admire here, but the retail value isn't one of them. $1900 is a whole chunk of change to spend on a purse, and much more than most of us can afford. But if you can swing it, I don't think you'll ever regret owning this timeless leather bag.

Givenchy Nightingale | Huge Metallic Gold Satchel is the Bag of Choice for Young Starlets

Posted on: Dec 1

Reese Witherspoon, Ashley Olsen, and Nicole Richie agree: the Givenchy Nightingale is a modern classic. The generous 13" x 14" x 6" size means it fits in, sizewise, with all the latest hip, huge bags, but it's simple shape tells us that it will transcend all the trends.

The simplicity of the slouchy shape is set off by the structure of the dual ostrich leg handles, which add texture and interest. The light weight makes the size more manageable than others of its ilk, and there is a removable shoulder strap for convertible convenience.

The details of this bag are what really take it into the celebrity stratosphere. The exotic texture of the ostrich handles is reminiscent of python, and they provide a beautiful contrast with the delicate metallic sheen of the leather.

The Nightingale combines traditional Givenchy quality and a simple shape with the trendiness of metallic leather and exotic ostrich, making it a great bag to brighten up your everyday. The bag comes in plenty of other colors and textures, but the wow factor of the gold is undeniable. You can glam it up or dress it down with this celebrity staple.
