Vintage Givenchy Sequin Canvas Tote Late 1990s Beige Navy

Paris, late 1990s — the Givenchy studio in flux, sharp tailoring drifting into something more unruly. Sequined navy and silver arcs sweep across the front of this beige cotton canvas tote, the surface catching the light against the clean lines of brown leather handles. The house’s sans-serif ‘Givenchy Paris’ logo stands at the centre, flanked by the 4G monogram — a restrained base for the glint of each stitched paillette.

The tote is structured but soft, with double handles supporting both hand and shoulder carry. A gold-tone snap closes the top, fastening into brown leather tabs. Inside, a beige fabric lining conceals a single zipped pocket and a slip compartment. Minor marks are visible on the exterior canvas; the hardware remains bright, and the silhouette holds its shape.

This design falls squarely within the Alexander McQueen and Julien Macdonald years at Givenchy, c. late 1990s–early 2000s — a period when the maison’s classic logos met flashes of embellishment. The sequined motif and pared-back branding speak to a house balancing its founder's reserve with a new, punk-inflected energy.
