HAPPY 2016! New year, new bag.

Kicking off the new year with a new addition to my bag collection. I came across this Givenchy 'Croc-Embossed' Small Pandora (circa 2012) on Yoogi's Closet and the crocodile-embossment immediately caught my attention (and the price, too). I wasn't planning on adding another Pandora because I was content with my Pandora collection... but I just couldn't resist!

This was in a "like new" condition and was listed for $795–a Small Pandora currently retails for at least $1,690.

One downside to the Pandora is that the strap isn't adjustable. The bag is way too low for me when I use the strap on the shoulder or cross body. On some days, I tie a knot to shorten the strap, but I try not to do it too often in case it damages the piping. I still prefer the Mini over the other sizes; it was just this particular leather detailing that made this one more unique. Also, part of the leather is coated to make the crocodile-embossment more noticeable from afar. You can read more on my thoughts of the Pandora in an earlier post here.


I definitely had another positive experience with Yoogi's Closet and highly recommend shopping with them. It's hard finding a trustworthy online retailer for preowned designer goods and at good prices, but Yoogi's Closet is very trustworthy and have honest descriptions.

Thanks for reading!
