The Former Etro and Fendi Designer Will Work Alongside Creative Director Sarah Burton to Strengthen the House’s Accessories Business
Givenchy has appointed Marco De Vincenzo as Head of Leather Goods Design, reinforcing the French house’s focus on one of luxury fashion’s most commercially critical categories.
The Italian designer will work under Creative Director Sarah Burton as Givenchy continues its broader repositioning within the LVMH portfolio.
“Working closely with Sarah Burton, Marco De Vincenzo will contribute to accelerating the development of the maison’s leather goods category, bringing his unique vision and expertise to support Givenchy’s next chapter,” the house said in a statement.
De Vincenzo brings extensive accessories experience to the role. Most recently, he served as Creative Director of Etro from 2022 until earlier this year, where he helped sharpen the Italian brand’s accessories and leather goods offering.
Before that, he spent more than a decade at Fendi overseeing leather goods design while simultaneously building his own namesake label, which became known for its rich textures, bold color palettes and material experimentation. LVMH previously backed the Marco De Vincenzo brand through a joint venture established in 2014.
The appointment comes as Givenchy seeks to strengthen momentum under Burton, who joined the house in 2024 following a 25-year tenure at Alexander McQueen. Since arriving, Burton has focused on refining Givenchy’s silhouette and accessories language, introducing new handbag concepts including The Snatch while revisiting core styles such as the Antigona and Voyou.
Givenchy has faced mounting pressure within the luxury sector as brands increasingly rely on strong leather goods performance to drive profitability. The category has become more challenging in recent years as consumers push back against escalating luxury price points without corresponding innovation.
Earlier this year, the house also appointed Amandine Ohayon as Chief Executive Officer as part of a wider effort to reposition the business.
For Givenchy, De Vincenzo’s arrival signals a renewed emphasis on craftsmanship, product development and accessories credibility as the brand works to regain momentum within the increasingly competitive luxury landscape.
