There are a few brands I am partial to and Givenchy is one of them. It is all due to the coolness of Creative Director Riccardo Tisci– he really gets it; he’s like the Kate Moss of fashion designers. His creations never look like they’re trying too hard, they’re just… there; slouching and hanging out, with style and attitude. Like all the cool kids in school. And by cool I don’t mean the cheerleaders or jocks, I mean the kids who don’t follow any rules but their own. I love my Sacca small hobo but now there is a slightly different variation– the Sacca in medium (15″x19″). Not only is it much bigger, but the edges are ruched and they’ve changed the chain to a woven leather (probably due to weight reasons, which just make me love Riccardo even more for thinking about our backs!). My friend Rachel, aka the Editor in Chief of InStyle in the Czech (I have trouble spelling this word) Republic, has been on the hunt for a new bag and we think this is perfect for her new role as the Fashion Queen Bee of the Eastern Bloc. $1,895 at Barneys New York
