What is the Givenchy style?
When Hubert de Givenchy met Audrey Hepburn during her pre-Sabrina days, he was taken aback by how she was unlike other movie stars because she adored simplicity. Here was a “very thin person with beautiful eyes, short hair, thick eyebrows, very tiny trousers, ballerina shoes, and a little T-shirt. On her head was a straw gondolier’s hat with a red ribbon around it.” The two became close and worked together on many of her outfits for her films. With the designer’s eye for perfect lines and symmetry and the actress’ minimal tastes, the pair conjured a polished, feminine, pared-to-the-bone glamor that is now stylistically Givenchy.
This legacy continues to run in the French fashion house’s modern works, cementing it as a purveyor of “It” bags. This year’s newest arm candy—the 4G Handbag.
It is endlessly versatile—fit for many occasions.
The new fashion kid on the block comes in two styles—a flap bag with a detachable leather strap and a chain bag. To preserve the Givenchy lines and symmetry, the fashion house crafted the bag with leather in hues ranging from black, ivory, cappuccino, khaki, green, and pink. With its streamlined, architectural shape and ability to seamlessly move from clutch to shoulder to crossbody, the 4G handbag exudes savoir-faire and fits many occasions perfectly.
It is equal parts stylish and functional, utilitarian and luxurious.
Gone are the days of rifling through your bag for your favorite lipstick. Givenchy paid attention to the bag’s interior as much as it did its exterior. The 4G Flap Bag’s small edition features a main compartment and a flat pocket for your cards, while the medium edition features a main compartment, two flat pockets, and a card pocket for easy use.
Meanwhile, the 4G Chain Bag’s small edition reveals a main compartment, six card pockets, and a flat pocket, while the medium edition reveals a main compartment and one flat pocket.
It is classic and incredibly chic—signs of the Givenchy style.
Givenchy, like its muses, is bright, colorful, youthful, and feminine with a touch of romance. But by emphasizing lines more than decoration, the fashion house takes its designs to the height of chic. As Hubert Givenchy once said, “You have to know when to stop. That is wisdom”
The 4G Handbag’s understated elegance keeps it clean, sleek, and undeniably chic. It is also trend-free, which means it won’t be a one-season wonder and eventually gather dust in your closet. If you want to invest in a designer bag that will stand the test of time, then this is the bag for you.
