Givenchy Unveils Ultimate Voyou Collection: Fall-Winter 2024’s Must-Have Bags

September 21, 2024

On the pulse of rebellious luxury and fashion, French maison Givenchy unveils its Fall-Winter 2024 Voyou collection, a line filled with personality and the house's ethos of sophistication and edge. This season, the iconic Voyou family expands, introducing new silhouettes that make striking additions for fashion's most discerning audiences.

The Voyou Legacy: Evolving Classics

The original Voyou, with its slouchy V-shape and "bad boy" moniker, remains the cornerstone of the collection. True to its name, which means "bad boy" in French slang, the Voyou embodies a perfect blend of Parisian chic and rock 'n' roll attitude.

For Fall-Winter 2024, the medium Voyou ($2,350) sees exciting new iterations. A standout piece is crafted in shiny vermilion tumbled leather with a subtle grainy effect, offset by eye-catching gold and silver hardware. For those who prefer understated luxury, there's a soft, maxi-croc version in black embossed leather. Adding a touch of vintage glamour, an oxblood red iteration in crackled, patent-effect leather offers an appealing retro vibe.

Each Voyou features a generous main compartment with an inner zip pocket, ensuring daily essentials remain secure. Multiple carrying options—hand-carry, short, long, and crossbody—are made possible by an adjustable leather strap discreetly embossed with "Givenchy" lettering. Distinctive hardware embellishments, including unique buckle designs delicately engraved with the Givenchy logo, sliders, and an accumulation of signature D-rings, give the Voyou its cool, jewel-like allure.

The P'tit Voyou: A Study in Contrasts

At the heart of this season's collection lies the P'tit Voyou ($2,100), a newcomer that the fashion world is already taking up. This soft flap shoulder bag unites the Voyou's signature rock attitude with an architectural grace that's pure Givenchy. Crafted from cloud-soft, puffy patent calf leather, it's a tactile dream that begs to be touched.

The P'tit Voyou's sleek lines and functional design—featuring two main compartments and a credit card slot—speak to the modern woman's need for form and function. Slim buckles on the signature straps add an urban twist, while the discreet metallic Givenchy logo whispers glamour. Available in seasonal black and vermilion patent leather, as well as an eye-catching silver laminated version, the P'tit Voyou offers versatility for various styles and occasions.

The Multi-Buckle Medium Voyou: Amplified Edge

For those who dare to make a statement, the Multi-Buckle Medium Voyou ($2,900) in vermilion is a revelation. This exclusive model takes the bag's rock roots and amplifies them to eleven. Shiny tumbled leather with a subtle grain catches the light, while gold and silver hardware create a visual display of metallic notes. The four multi-buckle straps transform this bag into a fashion statement of Givenchy's luxury heritage and contemporary edge.

Nano Voyou: Small Package, Big Impact

In an era where less is more, the Nano Voyou ($990) emerges as a tiny titan. This scaled-down wonder carries just the essentials—smartphone, cards, keys—without sacrificing an ounce of style. Available in tumbled calfskin, laminated silver leather, and even sumptuous velvet, the Nano Voyou proves that great things indeed come in small packages. It's the perfect accessory for those who want to travel light without compromising on style or the unmistakable Givenchy signature.

A Campaign of Contrasts: Parisian Elegance Meets Modern Identity

Julie Hoomans, the Dutch model with an enigmatic presence, fronts the global campaign shot by Paris-based photographer Tess Petronio. Set against the timeless backdrop of Paris, these images transcend mere product showcasing to tell a compelling story of identity and self-expression. “Set against the backdrop of Paris, this series embodies a symbol of both fashion and creative expression," Petronio explains. “I believe it is important to highlight the strength of women's personalities and to explore themes of identity. That’s why Julie’s unique persona adds depth to the imagery, showcasing how the bag complements not just an outfit but an attitude of a modern woman.”

This thoughtful approach results in a campaign that celebrates the Voyou as more than just an accessory. As Petronio notes, "This combination emphasizes how Givenchy's bag is not only a symbol of luxury, but also a statement piece that resonates personal expression." The images capture the essence of Parisian chic while highlighting the versatility and character of each Voyou style, inviting viewers to imagine how these bags might express their own unique personalities.

From the classic appeal of the original Voyou to the architectural grace of the P'tit Voyou, the edgy allure of the Multi-Buckle Medium Voyou, and the compact charm of the Nano Voyou, Givenchy's Fall-Winter 2024 collection offers a bag for every mood and occasion. Each piece in the Voyou family stands as a testament to Givenchy's enduring legacy of blending sophisticated design with a rebellious spirit, promising to be the must-have accessories of the season.
