The GV Bucket made its debut in Givenchy's 2018 early fall collection. Creative director Clare Waight Keller designed this simple and practical handbag inspired by the navy's duffel bag .

The soft leather and barrel-shaped silhouette ensure that the bag has ample capacity, and the adjustable shoulder strap gives it a variety of shapes and carrying methods. Like a marching backpack, it can be carried by hand or on the shoulder. The buckle and metal chain echo the drawstring strap of the marching bag.

There are newer ways to present old ideas.
· Diamond quilting·
Losange is one of Givenchy's most classic elements. Founder Hubert de Givenchy has been using it in fashion design since the 1950s, presenting it in the form of weaving, printing, and splicing.

The quilting process makes the diamond texture on the surface of this bag fuller and fuller, exuding the natural luster of the leather, and the zigzag stitching adds a nostalgic atmosphere.
The white GIVENCHY PARIS signature is printed in the center of the top layer of diamonds on the front.
· Retro double G buckle ·
The retro double G buckle on the side is the most ingenious design of this bag. It adds a sense of age through the old treatment, and also hides a mechanism to adjust the length of the shoulder strap. The "Kissing buckle" composed of square double G letters is a new design brought by Clare Waight Keller to the brand. It is also the most iconic element of the GV series of bags, implying beautiful love.
The other side is thoughtfully equipped with a metal ring , on which you can hang your favorite decorative pendant.
· Multiple ways to carry it
The mechanism for adjusting the length of the shoulder strap is hidden under the kissing buckle. Push the metal plate in the center of the square buckle outward from the inside of the bag, pull the shoulder strap down and fix it to the buckle at the bottom of the bag to complete the change from long to short.
The shoulder straps that extend to the bottom are fixed outside the side seams, forming a symmetrical pattern with the other side.
The bottom of the bag is a nearly square outline, with two sides that are curved inwards. The soft leather also gives the bag the property of being foldable at will . Rotate it 90 degrees, fold the two sides inwards and fix them with magnetic buckles, and pull the straps to the shortest.
The bag has undergone a new round of transformation, becoming a small handbag, and the metal buckle on the side has become a decorative element on the front.
What can this bag hold?
The bag's lining is made of suede microfiber, which is soft and scratch-resistant, and the bottom is reinforced with square hard leather to ensure a three-dimensional silhouette.
It is worth mentioning that the ultra-soft leather of the bag makes its weight almost negligible. Although it is the smallest mini size, this bag still continues the practical characteristics of the GV Bucket series. It can hold an iPhone, notebook, wallet, powder, lipstick, lotion, and tissues, and still have some space left.
