Ten Loves: Givenchy Pinch Bag

Pinch me, I think I’m dreaming. Dreaming because the Givenchy Pinch Bag is here, and it’s the kind of arm candy we just can’t stop thinking about. 

First spotted back in March in Paris at Sarah Burton’s debut show for Givenchy (she showed her sophomore collection last week), the Pinch is now strutting into stores, ready to take over arms everywhere. The name? A nod to handcraft – cutting, folding and yes, pinching – as well as to tailoring tricks that cinch a silhouette to perfection.

Shaped from natural-grained box leather, the Pinch opens like an envelope, with its precise folds framing the gusset just so. Gold-finished brackets snap everything into place – Burton’s new house signature and the kind of discreet hardware flex only a couture-trained hand would think of. There’s Palmellato leather too, with its crepe-like shimmer, plus curved edges and a closure so sleek it feels almost futuristic.

Colours? The Pinch comes in black, ivory, lipstick red, zingy acid yellow or straight-up mirror metallics if you’re feeling space-age-y. Sizes? There are three up for grabs, with the medium and small hiding a cheeky built-in mirror (because lipstick checks shouldn’t be anyone else’s business).

The Pinch isn’t just something to sling over your shoulder; it’s a new signature, and we’re already pressing purchase.
