The Givenchy Horizon Bag is the newest addition to Tisci’s handbag gang
The Givenchy Horizon bag was first spotted on the Fall/Winter 2016 runway and then made available in stores this past June.
Ever since its release, the Givenchy Horizon bag has certainly gained popularity amongst Givenchy’s sophisticated, more formal woman. As the name suggests, the Horizon embodies a fresh take on previous handbag designs, and is certainly joining the ranks with Givenchy’s other infamous styles including the Nightingale, the Pandora and the Antigona.
Givenchy Horizon Bag Details
The most defining elements of the bag are its straight lines and right angles. The crisp lines are are emphasized by its monochromatic color scheme, two top handles and—most notably—its horizontal band that wraps around the top.
We’d venture to say the Givenchy Horizon bag is the minimalists dream tote — its nothing but the epitome of simplicity at its finest. The bag also features expandable side panels, a removable shoulder strap and beautiful calfskin lining.
Givenchy Horizon Bag Size, Colors & Skins
The Givenchy Horizon bag comes in three sizes: small, medium and large. In its smallest size, the Horizon channels a polished-yet-youthful vibe when worn crossbody style, while its medium and large sized counterparts make a dynamic statement when carried by hand.
Aside from the basic black, the tote is available in bright colors like lavender, green, fucsia, orange, camel and mustard and is available in a variety of skins including calf leather, suede and alligator.
Givenchy Horizon Bag Inspiration
Inspired by Tisci’s older sister, the new design was created for the stylish woman on the go. The bag is very feminine in nature with just the right amount of flourish without being overwhelming.
“I wanted to launch a more classic bag, more for a mature woman: with less metal, more elegance, more chic, more luxurious-looking” – Riccardo Tisci
