Givenchy has been known to push fashion boundaries, but it shows remarkable restraint in creating the Eclipse satchel.
The classic good looks start with the lovely black leather finish. It has a slight sheen to the pebbled surface, but it’s not as glossy as a true patent might be. It’s just enough to add interest, inviting attention without demanding it. Some may long for more color choices, but this is one of those times when a label is committed to its vision. This is a black bag, and if you don’t like it you can look elsewhere.
The curved shape is almost hobo-like, but deep seams add more structure than these bohemian bags offer. The braided handle and a splash of silver hardware are the only accents on this fairly minimal design.
Two open pouches and a zippered pocket do their best to keep this luxuriously large space organized. The Eclipse is probably a little deep for just a few pockets, but that amount is more than many designers offer.
Givenchy purses never come cheaply, and at $1595 this is no exception. But at least you know it’ll stay in vogue much longer than many of the brand’s accessories will!
