I LOVE, love, love the Givenchy Nightingale. After drooling over it every time I walked into Barney’s (a slew of them are displayed at the entrance to the NY store), I finally splurged on the Medium Croc in Brown. This is my second Givenchy bag purchase and while the quality, quite honestly, is not the best (the other model I have is one the was not sold in the US — got it while I was in Paris last year and in less than one month the inner lining started peeling! It wasn’t even leather!), I’m turning a blind eye to the fact that my Nightingale similarly has developed a crinkle line given how slouchy it is if you don’t stuff it with something when it sits in your closet. Unfortunate quality issues aside the bag is so chic it’s little surprise that it has become a celeb fave. I have a feeling this won’t be a fad bag a la Fendi Baguette, but rather a classic. I think Ashley Olsen rocks it with her cut-offs! Who do you think pulls off the bag best? Vote in our poll!
Sharon- it’s “peeling”, not “pealing”.
Heya!
Absolutely agree with Tina!!! I love the bag and with 3 in my collection I can’t wait to get hold on the newest Spring/summer 2010 batch of nightingales!!! Love it to bits!!
Anything with poor quality cannot become a classic. Why would anyone buy this bag, or repeat buying it, if it has such quality issues?
I was about to vote for Ashley until I noticed that turbanesque headband…YIKES! So I went with Heidi. I LOVE the green version. I’ve never had quality issues with a bag purchase. THANK GOODNESS… because with the prices of bags these days, I would likely murder a sales associate!
hillary duff wore it best :] i love the chain strap. it looks good with ehr outfit 🙂
Sharon, I have 2 nightingales, I got them 3 years ago or so never had a prob with them-
(LOVE THEM) I’m Team Ashley on this one!!!
XOXO
neither.
All their outfits look awful, and its completely distracting to the bag.
I like the Nightingale.I haven’t bought a Givenchy bag yet. I am considering the Nightingale or the Eclipse hobo. I would love feedback from Bagsnobs. What do you think??? Which one?
I LOVE the Nightingale! I have a couple and I want to expand my little family. I just saw a pretty red patent leather Nightingale in a Fanta commercial while at the movies. Heidi has the best bag in the group. That green just pops.
