Givenchy Ombre Tassel Messenger

You gotta love Givenchy for their continued onslaught of new designs each season. The Sacca was casual but still polished chic, this is way bohemian. The Sacca is NY, this is totally LA. It is a messenger without looking like a book bag, you have the option of wearing this as a hobo or with the long cross body strap. And although it is big (14″ x 13″), it is flat so it won’t overwhelm a petite frame. Besides, for cross body, it needs to be flat or it will be too bulgey and super annoying. OK, I have to talk about that ginormous tassel, can’t really side step it. Yes, it is almost obnoxious in scale but it actually makes more sense being the full length of the bag so that is blends in rather than dangle around somewhere in the middle. The strips are also really thick so this isn’t a wispy swishing tassel – that makes a huge difference. It kind of is like giving a wink with its subtle playfulness. Of course, the best feature is the wallet like pocket in the front. At Barneys New York for $1270.

    I agree – this design is so polished and sleek – I really love the shape – a nice middle ground between a giant tote and cute little thing that doesn’t fit all of your daily needs

    This bag is hideous ! No elegance at all, bad proportions, no creativity, boring and hideous.

    I don´t like this bag at all. Horrible. The only good part is the long tassel, but then again, what would I do with it?

    I saw this bag on bagpoor last week and they loved the tassel too! I’m still not sure how I feel about it?!?

  5. I’m feeling as though they saw Lanvin’s bag from last season, the one with the two tassels and the grommets along the sides, liked it, amd copied the portions they liked.

    I have two Givenchy bags, and both of them got very dirty, very quickly. They use porous leather. I’m done with them.

    I don’t like this bag – don’t like the shape/dimensions of it. Not for me!
