Givenchy Tinhan Old Pepe Hobo



I LOVE this bag! The sumptuous wrinkled Italian leather is stunning and sooo soft. My favorite color option is definitely the petrol blue, which is new for Spring 2010 and actually appears slightly darker in real life. I had the pleasure of trying this beauty on over the weekend and the flat handles fit comfortably on the crook of my arm, but not over my shoulder. However, the 6" handle drop should accommodate most women. It's quite sizeable at 16" x 19" x 9" and will undoubtedly hold all of your daily essentials. I know that may sound ginormous to some of you, but the expansion zippers allow you to customize the shape of the bag depending on your specific needs.  


You have to try this bag on to believe just how amazing it really is. The navy, black, brown (crafted out of vintage leather) and nude versions are available at Barneys and they range in price from $1270-$1415. Call Bergdorf Goodman at 212-753-7300 to order the Optical print Tinhan bag for $1875.

Love the brown vintage leather version. It makes the sleek silhouette a bit more casual looking.

greetings from manila, philippines! i have been a regular fan of your blog :) you mentioned some time last oct '09 that you will be having updates on bags similar to the balenciaga casette. i have been ogling at the casette for months now, and unfortunately its too expensive for me;( perhaps you could suggest bags very similar to this that are more affordable? :) would highly appreciate it. i was planning on getting one for my birthday this month. many thanks! :) - love, Kaska

Hi Kaska! That Balenciaga bag is pretty special and the shape as well as the design are fairly difficult to replicate for less. However, one bag definitely comes to mind. The Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 in Epi Leather. The size and shape are similar and the textured leather has the same effect as the embossed lizard skin on the Cassette. Most importantly, it's much more affordable at $1000. Thanks for reading Bag Poor and feel free to email me at bagpoor@gmail.com with any additional questions. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Honestly?

When I look at this bag I immediately see an old saggy boobed biker chicks leather halter top.

Not sexy. I'll save my duckets for another.
