The Look For Less: Givenchy Nightingale

FabSugar — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:00:22 PDT

I would give my right arm for a Givenchy Nightingale ($1,895). There's no other way to describe it than utter perfection. But considering the hefty price tag and the fact that I own a ton of black bags, I've learned to surrender my feelings. But recently, I came upon a very similar version, so I may not have to surrender after all . . .

To see the look for less,

It's no Nightingale, but this BCBGeneration Rembrandt Medium Satchel ($103, originally $138) is pretty darn close. It has the same satchel, cross-body straps, and shape. The only thing is, it has a zipper going across the center. It's actually not a bad detail. If you're as in love with the Nightingale but can't afford it, this is your best solution.

Givenchy's Medium Grained Nightingale, $1,280, has rich, buttery leather and a convenient detachable shoulder strap, making it ideal for gals who are always on the run. It has recently also been popular with mom-to-be Nicole Richie. Too bad our checking account balance is not nearly as abundant as Nicole's...

To see the look for less,

Nightingale lovers, have no fear because Anthropologie's All Business Shoulder Bag, $398, is here. Sure, it's still expensive, but for a decent Givenchy knockoff, it's a small price to pay. Like the original, it has the shape, the shoulder straps and most importantly, the handles with piping.

Reese Witherspoon Goes on a Day Shopping Date With Her Nightingale

Katie Henry — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:03:00 PDT

Reese Witherspoon stopped by the Brentwood Country Mart in LA yesterday for a bit of light shopping. Still modeling a fresh off the beach glow from her recent family trip to Hawaii, she carried Givenchy's ivory Nightingale bag on her arm. Reese has amassed an arsenal of handbags in her wardrobe and has recently been spotted toting Miu Miu, Chloe, Alexander Wang, Marni, and Bottega Veneta, to name a few. Luxury items may be a few of Reese's favorite things, but in her new Disney film, Wish List, her character's childhood wishes are granted, which may be more along the lines of ponies and prince charming than designer wares.
