Finding a premium designer bag under $1,000 isn’t as easy as it used to be even a few years ago. Not only are leather and labor prices ever on the increase, but designers keep prices high in order to keep an air of exclusivity around their products and prevent lower-market customers from snagging their most recognizable (and bankable) goods. That’s what makes the Givenchy Easy Tote pretty unique.
At $990, the bag is not exactly inexpensive, and it’s about as close to $1,000 as a bag can be without actually hitting four digits. What’s surprising about it, though, is that the bag is both real leather and fairly distinctive. Some brands will turn out PVC totes or simple, sack-like bags to give customers something that seems attainable without giving them something overly recognizable, but this angular bag is pretty much classic Givenchy. (Riccard Tisci-era Givenchy, at least.) It’s simple without being basic or anonymous, and it’s big enough to comfortably carry to work while being tailored enough to look like it belongs there. For the price, it’s the bets deal on the top-tier market that we’ve seen in a while. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $990.
