Givenchy Handbags

Created by fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy, Givenchy is a French line of cosmetics, perfumes and, of course, fashion of the highest class. A pioneer in the world of style, Givenchy was the first to release ready-to-wear luxury clothing for women in 1954. Givenchy’s stunning success has been attributed to his cutting-edge designs that combine elegance with classicism, as well as the intrepid designer’s sense for blending audacity with modernity.

The house of Givenchy boasts a wide range of high-fashion products known for being both feminine and classy. Givenchy shoes and clothes have been held in high regard for decades, with fashion icon Audrey Hepburn among the brand’s most celebrated patronesses. Miss Hepburn modeled Givenchy’s modern styles in her movies Sabrina, How to Steal a Million and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Givenchy handbags have also been runway successes season after season.

Besides apparel and accessories, Givenchy has its own line of fragrances and cosmetics. Givenchy perfumes, with names such as Amarige, Amarige Mariage, Hot Couture, Absolutely Irresistible Givenchy, and Very Irresistible Givenchy combine subtle floral notes that are elegant, tasteful and classic.

Over the years, the line has expanded into the men’s fashion market, launching Gentleman Givenchy in 1973. Today, the brand is owned by fashion giant LVMH (Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) which also owns high end fashion houses Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Christian Lacroix. Givenchy is the second best selling fashion line under the brand, after Dior.
