Vintage Givenchy 4G Logo Mini Card Holder c. Late 1970s Black Gold

Evenings in Paris, c. 1978 — a flash of gold glinting beneath the studio lights,
the 4G emblem embossed in the center of a jet-black leather flap. This Givenchy
mini card holder embodies the essence of late-1970s accessories: compact,
minimalist, designed to slip into a pocket or be handed over quickly, and equally at home with any
wardrobe.
Smooth black leather forms the exterior, finished with a gold-tone snap closure
and a fine-link chain secured by a lobster clasp—the hardware displaying a subtle
patina befitting its age. The single compartment is lined in black fabric,
unbranded except for a discreet “MADE IN SPAIN” stamp in gold. Designed to be
carried by hand or clipped to a bag or belt loop as needed.
The bold 4G logo hardware on the flap identifies this piece as a product of
Givenchy’s Hubert de Givenchy era, when gilded metalwork became a signature of the house
and accessories were distilled to their purest form. Condition is very good, with minor
surface scratches on the leather and slight oxidation on the snap. No
accessories or serial number present.
