Givenchy New Sacca Bag

I got the New Sacca Bag from Givenchy in taupe (895 euro) at Maendler while I was in Munich (they only have two left! Their number is +498924228850. Though if you’re in Munich my mother just told me that Theresa got in a shipment as well). I haven’t seen this model in this color (new for Fall 2009), anywhere in NYC nor have I seen it online so I was very excited when I spotted it in the boutique. There is however another European site that is selling the smaller version of the “New Sacca” (633 euro). The price is pretty amazing — Givenchy is definitely one of those brands that you save a lot of money on if you buy it in Europe (plus you can get the tax back which in Germany is 19%!). This bag is fantastic! It’s not heavy and it easily fits everything I need and more (except for my computer that is, which unfortunately is too heavy and bulky to fit — I seriously need to trade in my IMB for a Sony — would make doing work while on the go so much easier. If only I could splurge less and save more!). I love that only one of the handles has the chain detail and that the Givenchy logo is subtle while still giving the bag some pop. The only downside to the bag is that there aren’t many interior pockets and everything falls to the center bottom of the bag making it hard to find things when I’m in a rush.

I can’t wait to see what Riccardo Tisci has in store for S/S 2010!

Note — Jump to see what makes the Fall 2009 Sacca different from the one from last season.

On the left is the Sacca from last season, while on the right you can see the New Sacca for Fall 2009. The difference is in the handle. The new model has a leather handle interweaved with chain (versus only chain).
