Vintage Givenchy Wool Bow Dress c. Late 1980s Black M

Paris, late 1980s—the atelier is quiet except for the sound of shears gliding
through black wool, the air marked by the gold serif of “GIVENCHY Paris” on a
belt label. This Givenchy dress, cut from a deep black wool blend, falls just
above the knee with softly rounded shoulders and a sculptural bow detail at the
waist. A matching black leather belt with a circular buckle and a gold-tone
engraved plaque cinches the silhouette—a signature touch from the house’s
ready-to-wear workshops.
The exterior is crafted from a dense wool blend, with satin trims at the bow
lending a subtle shift in texture. The black fabric-lined interior features
a single zippered pocket. No visible logo on the main dress—just the precision
of the cut and the hand-finished seams. Condition is very good: minimal wear,
with only slight lint on the surface.
This piece dates from the Hubert de Givenchy era, circa the late 1980s to early
1990s; its gold-lettered belt label and construction details evoke the
house’s Parisian aesthetic at the close of the decade. The mannequin normally wears
a size M.
