I was just scrolling through Farfetch, you know, doing a little window shopping (aka, dreaming of winning the lottery), and saw this whole section on Givenchy. Then BAM! “Custom Givenchy Small Antigona Bag $2,950.00”. Two thousand nine hundred and fifty dollars! For a *small* bag! My jaw basically hit the floor.
But then I started thinking… custom. What does *that* even entail? Like, can you pick the leather? The lining? Do you get to, like, stamp your initials on it in gold leaf? ‘Cause if so, that actually sounds kinda cool. I mean, okay, *really* cool. My initials in gold leaf on a Givenchy? Yes, please!
Actually, looking at the search snippets, it seems like the “custom” thing might be more about their perfume line, La Collection Particulière. You can pick, like, three different scents and get a discovery set? I dunno, maybe I’m mixing things up here, things gets confusing when I have too many tabs open. Perfume is nice and all, but a custom bag… that’s a statement. A HUGE one. I mean, imagine walking into a room with a bag you designed *yourself*. Talk about owning the room!
And then there’s Rago Brothers. They specialize in fixing up Givenchy bags. Now *that’s* interesting. Like, if you’re dropping three grand on a bag, you want to make sure it lasts, right? It’s almost scary to think about, what if you spill coffee on it? Or, like, some kid throws up on it (hypothetically speaking, of course). Knowing there’s someone out there who can bring it back to life? Worth its weight in gold (or, you know, leather).
