You see those fancy Givenchy bags, the ones that cost, like, a month’s rent? Yeah, those *authentic* ones, supposedly, are all “Made in Italy.” Belts, clothes, hats, the whole shebang? Italy. Some t-shirts? Portugal, apparently. But here’s where things get a little…hmmm.
The internet is buzzing. Some sources say Givenchy *does* manufacture some stuff in China. I mean, it’s 2024, practically *everything* is made in China, right? Except maybe, like, artisanal cheese or something. Even the *French* stuff probably gets some parts made there, let’s be honest.
One source straight up says, “Givenchy est fabriqué en Italie, au Portugal, en France, en Chine, en Tunisie, au Japon, à Hong Kong, en Bulgarie et en Slovaquie.” (Givenchy is made in Italy, Portugal, France, China, Tunisia, Japan, Hong Kong, Bulgaria, and Slovakia.) Like, BAM! There it is. China right in the middle.
But then, you see stuff like, “Givenchy does not produce anything…” which is clearly, like, a huge overstatement. They *definitely* produce *something*. My gut feeling? It’s probably the less flashy stuff, the stuff they can get away with making cheaper without totally tanking the brand image. Maybe some of the less intricate clothing, you know?
And then there’s the factory situation. Apparently, there are “mid-tier” factories making stuff for brands like Loewe and…yep, Givenchy. But the catch? They might mess up the logo typeface. Which, honestly, for the price you’re paying for Givenchy, is kinda unacceptable. You’re paying for the *brand*, the *prestige*, the *perfection*. A wonky G? Come on!
So, basically, it’s a mess. My completely unprofessional and slightly cynical opinion? Some Givenchy stuff is definitely made in China. LVMH might try to keep it hush-hush, but the evidence is kinda out there. It’s probably not the super high-end couture, but it’s probably some of the ready-to-wear, maybe some accessories.
