The Antigona Exterior

The luxury Givenchy handbag is an iconic piece that sets apart any outfit you may wear—displaying some of the brand's most valued codes: sophistication, simplicity, and craftsmanship from its small and practical size to its comfortable shoulder strap. This handbag is perfect for everyday use.

The Antigona collection uses structured, grained goatskin leather and detailed silvery-finish metal elements (100% Zamac). Everything about this bag screams elegance. The minimalistic model takes on a deep, luxurious navy blue with black burnished edges. The exterior is simple but perfectly displays the high-quality leather and its beautiful grain texture. On the front face, you can find the signature GIVENCHY logo placed on a plaque. The Antigona line has a zip closure and is finished with the GIVENCHY 4G zipper pull.

The Size

The small-sized handbag measures 11.02 in x 9.84 in x 5.91, making it the perfect size to store multiple items without being “bulky” or inconvenient for everyday use. The Givenchy Antigona handbag also exists in a mini version.

The Colors

The small Antigona in grained leather is available in multiple colors, from Black to Pearl Grey or Navy.

The Interior

The zipped closure opens up to a main compartment with two flat pockets and a zippered pocket. The compartment is lined with 100% cotton and is very well organized. Thanks to the sturdy structure of the bag and the clear beige lining, it is easy to find your belongings.

The flat and zipped pockets store smaller objects like cards, notes, or keys. The flexible main compartment allows the bag to move with you and adapt its size to your needs.

The Straps

The Small Antigona handbag has short twin rolled leather handles at the top (Handle: 3.9 in.) and an adjustable, removable leather strap (Min: 13.8 in- max: 29.5 in). The adjustable strap is engraved with the Givenchy logo and has easy tab-slot fastenings.

How to style the Antigona handbag?

The Small Antigona model makes styling luxury accessories look easy. The bag has pure and minimalistic beauty, which makes it easy to pair with most outfits.

• For a more casual look, try using the adjustable strap and wearing the bag cross-body over a jacket or coat for the cooler seasons. Not only is it super practical for it's hands-free wear, but it also elevates your look. 
• Dress up your Antigona bag for more sophisticated events by using the top handles and decorating them with a silk scarf.  
• The Navy blue shade of this model is perfect to match with an orange or coral-based outfit. 

Why I Don't Regret Buying The Givenchy Antigona Bag

When purchasing the small Antigona handbag, I had in mind to use it for everyday occasions. The decisive point for me was the bag's interior; the Antigona is excellent. It is super easy to find my things inside, and there always seems to be space for more extra items. I love how the bag has protection on the base with bumper tabs, making it much more wear and tear-resistant. The leather has stayed in excellent condition over time and has slightly relaxed but kept its structure. The Antigona is a reliable bag and well worth the investment. It makes a great first luxury handbag and can be styled in many ways. 

One of my favourite things about this bag is the unique shade of blue. It changes from the all too classic black bags without becoming challenging to pair. I got many compliments on its color and how it changes depending on the weather. 

As for the comfort, I have nothing to say. The handles are strong and well-sized for a comfortable hold, while the strap allows you to free your hands. I recommend this bag!

How do you care for your luxury leather handbag?

When purchasing a luxury bag, there are a few steps to follow to ensure your accessory stays a timeless beauty:

• Never clean the leather with a chemical or alcohol-based product.
• Store your bag in the provided cloth bag to protect it from light and dust.
• To avoid creasing, fill the bag when in storing.
• Keep away from makeup and perfume at all times.
