First off, Givenchy. We all know the name. High fashion, Paris, the whole shebang. When you think of Givenchy, you’re picturing sleek lines, expensive leather, and probably a celeb or two rocking it on the red carpet. Not exactly “handmade” in the way you’re thinking, like, grandma knitting you a cozy scarf. More like, meticulously crafted in a fancy Italian workshop… or, uh, maybe China these days? *shrugs* The internet’s kinda confusing on that point, Farfetch says shop, but where’s the bag *actually* from?
I mean, yeah, *technically* a Givenchy bag *is* handmade, in the sense that a person (or a team of people) is physically putting it together. But it ain’t like someone’s sitting in their garage, stitching away while listening to podcasts. It’s a whole production, right? I bet they even have robots doing some of the work now, let’s be real.
And then you see these “handmade Givenchy” listings online. Like, are they *actually* handmade? Or are they just “inspired by” Givenchy? There’s a HUGE difference. You gotta be careful out there, folks! You don’t want to end up with a knock-off that falls apart after a week. Especially if you’re dropping some serious cash on it – that Antigona envelope clutch is *five thousand* MYR?! Yikes.
Honestly, the idea of a “handmade” Givenchy bag kinda clashes with the whole brand image, doesn’t it? It’s like, Givenchy is supposed to be all about perfection and precision. “Handmade” kinda implies a little bit of imperfection, a little bit of character, you know?
Maybe… maybe if someone really, *really* loved Givenchy and was super skilled with leather, they could try to make their own. But then it wouldn’t *really* be a Givenchy bag, would it? It’d be a tribute, a homage, a DIY attempt to capture the Givenchy vibe. I’d probably still call it an Antigona inspired bag and not directly call it a Givenchy. Just saying.
