This is still Givenchy’s top selling bag world wide and has reached iconic status after 10 years and still going strong. Don’t listen to non experts who follow fads or celebrities.

Oh my goodness I love it!! So true!!!
I have owned this exact bag in the medium since 2015, and in small since 2017. They will never be “over”. The French mind set is go for classic pieces. Don’t follow fads. This bag is a classic. It’s a forever bag. Great choice.

I so agree!!!!!
I don’t care how done this bag is. Like you, I always wanted it &I’m buying everything I ever wanted, so I decided to buy it regardless. Bought a black medium for work to fit my laptop & it’s coming in next week.
I’ve been obsessed with the Antigona since it came out. I have a mini and love it.

Me too
If I hadn't just bought this bag, your video would have convinced me to! Wow - the way you explain things is so eloquent and relatable and now I am going to binge watch all of your videos. I have a pandora in the crinkled leather too so I think we have similar taste which is a bonus for me! Please do a video explaining what you mean when you say the whole emotional experience because i know it will be really validating for people like me/us. I don't have anyone in my real life that is bag obsessed and listening to you talk feels so friendly and exciting. PS I totally smell my bags too 😄

Congrats on the bag, how exciting! Exactly my thoughts, if it works it works :)
It’s a gorgeous bag. Thanks for the review. I had the small and found it too heavy and sold it for the mini which I use more. But I definitely think this bag looks best in small and medium.
I love love loved this video. I loved how in-depth you went and how you said you love when you check out etc and someone compliments your bag or what you wear. I love that feeling as well but you verbalized it so well 🖤 now I need to switch to my Antigona

Ah thank you!!! Social proof is definitely such a phenomenon, and I love it when I bond with strangers over a bag haha. Also I watched your video on the Noe BB years and years ago and you actually influenced me to buy it so thank you for that too!

I just found your channel through this video! I loved this. Your “why I bought it” is nuanced and great! You echo how I feel about my Celine Nano belt bag.

I think that I'll finally buy an Antigona after more than 5 years of contemplating :) I don't think it'll be done anytime soon. There's just so few bags that are as practical and suitable for office and work as this one.

Agree!! Hope you got it and love it ☺️
I love ❤️ this bag. I heard these bags were heavy. Now yours in small so it’s perfect. ❤️ the black.
That bag looks sooo good just sitting on the bed like that 😆😆
Same reason I bought the Celine nano luggage after all these year... I just don’t care what others think and I just wanted it for myself 😄

Right! Some bags are just 'for me and me only' and makes me love it even more hahah
Great video! Really informative. I first saw this bag on supermodel Miranda Kerr and instantly fell in love with the bag and also being a fan of Audrey Hepburn, I feel like she would of carried this bag (her friendship with Givenchy) So, I purchased it in the black sugared leather in the medium size. Unfortunately, due to other people’s opinions and the “trends” in fashion I made the decision to sell it, but I’m going to be repurchasing it sometime in the near future, because I love it so much. Moral of the story if you love something so much, your confidence will shine through! ☺️

It’s gorgeous and I love all of the metal detailing 😍
Just purchased this bag from Fashionphile. Great price and condition. I love it in the small size as well.I think I will purchase a mini next in a lighter color.
A bit off topic, but that 🌽 pillow thingy at the back is just so so cute lol

Great video you hit all the bases. Great bag on my list after the Loewe puzzle.
Love your video's, new sub here, bought my Givenchy Antigona black box leather mini end of 2018, i still love it. The clean structured lines make it timeless. The bag does not has trendy features, for instance fringes and the shape is not trendy, like a baguette or other shapes. After wearing it mostly everyday for a year and it still looks new i bought a Loewe puzzle medium. Just because i wanted sometimes a little bigger for everyday when i want to bring more in winter to put my gloves and beanie, or waterbottle sunglasses, umbrella in spring/ summer. Enjoy it, no scratches on my hardware yet and have been caught in heavy rain, forgot umbrella. Even accidentally bumped it to scaffolding on my first day using it avoiding traffic.

You worded it perfectly, its just sleek and minimal while still being quite a statement if that makes sense. Love the Loewe (obviously)!! Surprisingly much more hard wearing than I initially gave it credit for ha
Love your taste in bags!its very geometrical!
Great job with the first impressions! Subscribed
This was the best up close view of this bag I've seen!

It’s a little too structured for me. I really liked just seeing it online but irl it was too hard for me
Also, for some reason I think you’d really enjoy Boyy Bag, maybe the “wonton” model. I dunno, just feel like the brand really suits your aesthetic :)

Wow just had a look, might need to add that to the to-buy list...
Do an X-year review of ur Pandora and wear and tear and all that. 😁
Beautiful bag💕💕💕
Will you scratch/hurt your arm on the zipper while reaching in and out of the bag?

It does scratch but I’ve never felt like it was going to tear skin, just an odd sensation to get used to really
Hi! How's the wear and tear of the bag?
Which one do you recomend mini or small size?
@Nachopad
Жыл бұрын
I'd prefer the small size just because I feel the structure is best showcased in this size - but if you're not carrying too much day to day, mini is a great size!
Do you feel like this is an everyday bag so like with shorts or do you use it with only work or dressy look?
@Nachopad

I think it'll work with shorts! Maybe more tailored shorts, paperbag waist shorts and darker mom-style shorts imo but depends on your mood
