Givenchy? Handbags? Who knew?

I've always thought of them as one of those fashion houses trailing in past glories and now happily relegated to the lucrative but not quite so interesting world of cosmetics and fragrances.

But Riccardo Tisci is finally coming into his own at the helm of the 57 year old French brand.

Givenchy's got a brand new bag collection...and I rather like it. 

First up is the medium leather Eclipse hobo. Simple, stylish, love the colour and the textured leather. $1675. Barneys.

Next we have the medium textured Nightingale. This shade of orange is like Marmite, love it or hate it and I love it. Want it. $1775. Barneys.

And last we have the Medium Cracked Leather Nightingale. The perfectly distressed leather boho-luxe day bag. For the uptown type that likes to pretend she's a downtown hottie. $1695. Barneys.

p.s. Barney's have got crazy sales going on at the moment so make sure you take a GOOD look around that sale section on their website.
