High fashion meets function in Givenchy’s latest offering: the Mystic bag. Inspired by the House of Givenchy’s Haute Couture Fall 2019 collection, the handbag ushers in the new age of Givenchy under the house’s new Artistic Director Claire Waight Keller.
The Mystic bag gets its name following the mystique of Keller’s collections for Givenchy and as a tribute to the bag’s half-hidden lock, underscoring an aura of secrecy. A semi-structured top-handle bag with a V-shaped flap top and sculptural shoulders is a study of form meeting function—in the most luxurious way possible, of course. Perfectly fusing structure, softness, and sophistication, the bag’s elegant shape allows for a generous compartment while keeping everything light.
The Mystic also proves that the devil is definitely in the details: hand-made top-stitching, hand-painted edging, and a handle made from triple layer suede, calf leather, and hand-applied bombé cushion. Both a statement and versatile piece, the bag just exudes elegance while suggesting both power and restraint.
Needless to say, we are obsessed. And we’re sure you would be, too.
