Givenchy - Hand Written Labels

[Sue Poole]

Hi just wondered if anyone knows when hand written labels were used in French fashion?

I habe a Givenchy Nouvelle Boutique piece with such a label (I have attached a photo).

It is an off the shoulder number so I’m not sure how early it would be but I know this Givenchy ready to wear line started in 1968. Would the handwritten label be something that would allow me to find a specific date of production? The dress has gold metallic thread. Again I am not sure when such fabric began to be used.

Any help would be fab.

Thank you. Aww

These labels were used in the 1970s by many designers in France.

I've seen handwritten labels too in 1980s French designer items. Could you please post full photos of your dress and also of the Givenchy label? That will help with dating.
