Pre-Owned Givenchy - Authenticated Ready-to-Wear, Bags & Accessories | Old Fashioned Club
Few houses embody Parisian elegance as fully as Givenchy. From the clean tailoring that dressed Audrey Hepburn to the structured bags that became modern icons, the house cultivates a timeless grace you will find, piece after piece, in the pre-owned selection at Old Fashioned Club. A Paris-based pre-owned luxury boutique founded in 2017, formerly known as Égérie Paris, we bring together authenticated Givenchy ready-to-wear, leather goods and accessories, each chosen for its allure and condition.
The Heritage of the House of Givenchy
Givenchy was founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy, a French couturier whose very first collection introduced a crisp, youthful and refined silhouette. The house stood out early for championing separates and for a fresh, lighter approach to luxury. His 1953 meeting with Audrey Hepburn sparked one of the most celebrated partnerships in fashion history, a friendship and creative dialogue that spanned four decades. Greta Garbo, Jacqueline Kennedy and Princess Grace of Monaco were also among the house's devotees, and Givenchy remains synonymous with quiet chic and impeccable couture.
Iconic Pieces and Lines
The Givenchy vocabulary blends tailoring discipline with graphic modernity. In leather goods, two bags defined the 2010s: the Pandora, introduced in the Fall/Winter 2009 collection and recognizable by its soft, slightly slouchy form; and the Antigona, launched for Fall/Winter 2011, whose architectural, trapeze-shaped silhouette became an instant classic. The Antigona name draws on the Greek mythological figure Antigone, known for her strong character. Both models, designed under the creative direction of Riccardo Tisci (2005 to 2017), sit alongside the house's refined ready-to-wear: clean dresses, structured coats and tailored pieces with an assured drape.
What You Will Find at OFC, Pre-Owned
Our Givenchy selection spans every category of the house. In leather goods, Antigona and Pandora bags are joined by crossbody styles and small leather pieces. The ready-to-wear edit gathers dresses, coats and jackets with a pared-back sensibility, while accessories complete the look. Every piece is selected for its quality, its condition and its rightness of style.

Why Buy Givenchy Pre-Owned
Choosing pre-owned Givenchy means accessing exceptional elegance at a fair price while making a sustainable fashion choice. The house's carefully crafted leathers age beautifully, holding their shape over the years; a well-kept Antigona or Pandora retains all its presence. Giving a quality piece a second life extends genuine craftsmanship rather than fueling endless consumption. At Old Fashioned Club, buying second-hand is never a compromise, but an informed, aesthetic and responsible decision.
Authentication Tips
Authenticating a Givenchy piece calls for an expert eye. Look at the regularity of the stitching, the quality and scent of the leather, the weight and finish of the hardware, and the engraving on clasps and zips. Internal labels and markings should be crisp and consistent with the model's era. On an Antigona, the precision of the structure and the sharpness of the corners are revealing. Rather than relying on a single clue, entrust the examination to specialists: every piece sold by Old Fashioned Club is authenticated by our experts and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
