Vintage Givenchy Textured Leather Wallet Late 1980s Red

Red textured leather folds into a compact square, its surface catching the light beneath gold-tone metal corners and a crisp rectangular clasp. The Givenchy name appears discreetly, heat-embossed in spaced serif capitals at the lower front — a detail echoed in the clean lines and unfussy silhouette. In hand, the leather has a structured, almost architectural feel, softened inside by a warm beige fabric lining.

Inside, a zip pocket and multiple card slots line the interior, designed for essentials without excess. The gold-tone clasp shows delicate scratching at the face, and the corners reveal minor scuffing — subtle traces of use, with the structure and finish otherwise well preserved.

That serif label and the weight of the hardware place this wallet in the late 1980s to early 1990s, during Hubert de Givenchy’s long tenure. The restraint of the design, with its absence of overt branding or ornament, speaks to the house’s quiet authority in accessories of that era.
