Okay let me tell you how I ended up obsessing over this Givenchy Moon Cut bag situation. Saw it everywhere last month – influencers on street corners clutching it, celebrities holding it like some kind of alien artifact at events. Got curious. Started wondering if this weird little crescent moon thing was actually worth the crazy cash they’re asking.
First move: price hunting
Typed “Givenchy Moon Cut bag price” into my phone while waiting for coffee. Almost choked on my Americano. Most places had it sitting around 2 grand. For a tiny clutch. Seriously? My whole last vacation cost less than that thing. Felt like someone punched me in the wallet just looking at the numbers.
The in-store reality check
Went to the mall wearing my regular jeans and sneakers. Sales assistant gave me that look – you know, the “sir this is an art piece not a wallet” stare. Held it anyway. Smooth calfskin felt amazing, I’ll give them that. But man, the size? Smaller than my folded sunglasses case. Could probably fit:
- My ancient iPhone
- Maybe two credit cards
- A single sad cough drop
The magnetic closure was satisfying though. Clicked like a spaceship door closing.
The turning point
Stood there in the store, holding this stupidly expensive moon rock. Realized I was judging it by photos where it looked way bigger. Reality was different. That’s when Mia texted me about her emergency vet bill. Guess who bought cat medication instead of designer leather that night? Spoiler: not the cat.
Final verdict
Look, if you’ve got stacks of cash lying around burning holes in your floor? Sure, buy this trendy pancake of a bag. But for normal humans? Absolutely not worth emptying savings. Saw a fake version last week at the flea market. Same shape, same “woah moon bag” effect, cost me three tacos. Sometimes tacos win.
