Ok - you know what to show and tell. Seriously amazing comparison video; best I've seen. What's best and many people neglect: Showing it worn; holding them up side by side; showing what ipads/laptops fit. Two thumbs and both big toes up for this video!
Totally helpful! These are just getting reasonable on the resale market - thanks to this video, snagged a small one. Was worried it would be too small but it’s perfect❤thank you Steph❤
thanks for this, love these bags they are such a classic, I think I will start with the medium and see how it goes. Best way to play it safe I believe.
Appreciated this video, your other video abt the sizes of Marc Jacob's The Tote bag helped me purchase the right size for me. I now have my very first monogram Tote Bag. Hope I can afford to buy GIVENCHY Antigona one day. ❤️
Best comparision video for the Givenchy Antigona bags. I'm on the hunt for my first Givenchy bag and this review was very informative. Deciding between the mini or small in smooth black leather ^___^
Wonderful video, Steph! I'm considering the Small sized Antigona, since the Mini I ordered wasn't big enough to fit everything I need for a day (but so cute and beautiful 😍!). Thanks for showing the bags side by side, that's really helpful 💖😊!
@@Handbagholic I'll tell you if the Small was the right size, when I ordered it (could be it is too large, but we will see 😉!). It's beautiful anyways, that's for sure 😊💖!
Good to know that Givenchy really did make a version where the straps were not detachable. I had a small goatskin antigona which i returned because I thought it was fake.
Hi there, sadly I don’t think it will. It fits my normal laptop 13 inch but I don’t think it would a 16. You would probably need a tote bag like the Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM or OnTheGo GM. Hope this helps.
I have 2 perfect mediums for sale. One is on ebay and is dark gray, the other is Camel but they will only let me sell so much at a time. Both are in perfect like new condition!
me too I think I want to get the Small because I honestly barely carry anything with me, but I want the option to carry a little bit more if needed If I truly feel like I will start carrying a lot, then I can get a Medium later Goal: get all 3 anyways
The design of the clip is similar to ones done by Liebeskind (I'm talking about the mini Antigona). But, in Liebeskind I have never had problem of clip detaching. Probably because the "teeth" of the clasp are closer.
Heather Johnson i have the shiny mini for over a Year now. Chose the shiny after watching numerous video’s especially wear and tear. The shiny will stay more structured over time and does not scratch easily at all. Most think it is the shiny one that will scratch easily but it does not.First week i had it i bumped at corner of wall, not a scratch at all. And also caught in heavy rain. At home just dried it with clean cloth and that is all.
Lovely video. I need a new work bag for a laptop but hate that I have to carry a lot and not sure a large bag I cannot wear on my back. I love that you said get all the sizes 🤣 I was just thinking that. ❤️
I just purchased a medium antigona in grey. What do you think of the size does it get to be too much? I had been looking for a mini actually but wandered into a Saks Off Fifth and they had it at an AMAZING price but I'm wondering if it's too big
@@Handbagholic yeah. I want it in something other than black or light grey and that’s all I can seem to find right now. I just worry they are going to discontinue the Antigona. Do you know if and when they refresh this line?
Hi there. I prefer the shiny, I just think it looks nicer, however the shiny does scratch easier although, to be honest, both scratch depending on what happens to the bag. Both types of leather will show marks. I hope this helps and thanks for commenting, Steph
Hi, I just received my order today, it is the small size and to my surprise, the shoulder strap is not adjustable. I was under the impression the small Antigona comes with an adjustable strap, but I guess not..
Amazing video! Thanks a lot 💕 i’m 5’1 and looking for a work bag, the only size that would fit my laptop is the medium. But i’m afraid it’ll be too huge on me. Do you mind asking how tall are you to reference the size comparison? Also, do you think Antigona will go out of style anytime soon?
There was a large size originally which is bigger than the medium but I don’t think it’s sold now. So most likely they’re referring to the medium size, as it is a large bag. I hope this helps.
Hey Steph! Loved this review. Watching in 2020 and am trying to decide between the small and medium. Wondering what size your iPad is; I have an iPad pro 12.9, does that mean only the medium will fit it?
Hi Yadi. I have the old smaller iPad Pro, so I’m going to say that you’d need the medium for a 12 inch iPad but just double check the measurements of the bag. Hope this helps! Steph
Thanks for such a helpful video! Just subscribed :) The bag size names are a bit misleading-- when I think of a "mini" bag I think of something so small its nearly useless, but it seems like the perfect size for what I am looking for! :)
Can you please measure the top of the bag of the mini (where the zippers at) to the bottom of the handle? I want to see if the handle opening matches mine. Yours looks bigger. Not sure if the video makes it look bigger. Just received my mini today.
Hello! I am considering this for a work bag, but I am curious if it can fit a Surface Pro? I am trying to mentally assess how much bigger it is than the iPad you showed. Are you sure you had the iPad Pro? I am unfamiliar with iPads sizes :)
I am considering buying a small size or a mini size. Can you give me some suggestions? I want to use it to work and go outside on vacation (such as shopping, partying). After watching the comparison video, the small size is bigger than I expected. I am confused
YVET I’d say have a think about what you want to put inside. If things like a bottle of water etc. Are important go for the small. If it’s just purse / car keys definitely the mini! Hope this helps.
Hi Yvet, the mini is prob the ideal bag for traveling shopping partying. However I wouldn’t really use this bag for partying. You might want to consider the Alma BB from Louis Vuitton for those purposes!
Hi there, You can wear it on the crook of your arm, it just doesn't sit as comfortably as a bigger bag. Holding the handles is sometimes easier. I hope this helps and thanks for commenting, Steph
It is pronounced Antigona with intonation on the I not on the o . Antigona was a princess. In Greek mythology, Antigone (/ænˈtɪɡəni/ ann-TIG-ə-nee; Ancient Greek: Ἀντιγόνη, romanized: Antigónē) is a Theban princess, and a character in several ancient Greek tragedies. She is the daughter of Oedipus, king of Thebes. Her mother is Jocasta. In another variation of the myth, her mother is Euryganeia.

Hi Christina, thank you so much for your lovely response. Really glad you liked my review. Hopefully, I can provide many more. Keep in touch, Steph x
Perfect video. Just what I was looking for a great size comparison. Much appreciated.
Thank you - so glad it's helped you. I hope you love you new Antigona in which ever size works best for you. Steph x
Thank you, glad it helped x
I love my small Black Antigona! I am lusting after the Medium for work in pink or gray. The small is IMO the perfect size.
Thanks for your comment. The medium for work is a brilliant bag x
Just purchased the medium, I'm so in love.
It's such a fantastic bag. Thanks for commenting and let me know how you get on with the medium size! I love mine x
I’m eyeing that one in a dark brown
@@b.freeman2118 I’m still carrying mine and still love it.
I had to pause the video when she said "take this to a concert"
_I would never_
I would baby the heck out of this bag
Take the bag to the concert.
@@NicoleKe lol no
I take my bags everywhere kids play park everything. One life.
I think meant a classical concert or the opera, not a rock concert.
The only real Antigona comparison video out there - so very good. Thank you.
Totally helpful! These are just getting reasonable on the resale market - thanks to this video, snagged a small one. Was worried it would be too small but it’s perfect❤thank you Steph❤
Glad it helped ❤️
Im very tempted. Have been looking at both the mini and small. 🙂

Great review because I wasn’t sure what size to get. I’m 5’2 135 so I think the small will be perfect for a everyday bag.
Great choice, the small is a lovely size.
Omg I just HAVE to get the purple! I’ve been hunting for a beautiful purple bag and that is it
Amazing video ! Great details and super helpful - thank you for sharing xx

Great choice! I do love the mini.
Best comparision video for the Givenchy Antigona bags. I'm on the hunt for my first Givenchy bag and this review was very informative. Deciding between the mini or small in smooth black leather ^___^
Which one did you go with? 😊
@@brownbabydoll7912 My partner got me the mini, it’s so cute and good. All the other sizes are heavy mini was perfect.
@@em0lees ok I’m definitely getting the mimi in red 😍☺️
Beautiful bags! I just purchased the shiny leather in medium.
Great comparison video! I wanted the Medium but now I think I want the Small 💗
Great informative video! I’m thinking I’ll go with the small in classic black. 🖤
Good choice :)
Fantastic review! So thorough. Look for a new work bag and this is at the top of my list. But was wondering about sizing.
Oh yes, it’s a fabulous work bag for sure. Hope you get the perfect size 💗

@@Handbagholic It's really helpful, esp to be able all three sizes together x
Good to know that Givenchy really did make a version where the straps were not detachable. I had a small goatskin antigona which i returned because I thought it was fake.
I’m trying to decide between the Antigona Small and the GV3.
I need a bag that can fit my MacBook 16” pro do you think the medium would?
Hi there, sadly I don’t think it will. It fits my normal laptop 13 inch but I don’t think it would a 16. You would probably need a tote bag like the Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM or OnTheGo GM. Hope this helps.
Perfect comparison video Exactly what I was looking for Greatly appreciated
Thank you so much. The small would work for me
Love your video, great review of the Antigona 💕 very informative. In loooove with that small plum. Color is TDF
I have 2 perfect mediums for sale. One is on ebay and is dark gray, the other is Camel but they will only let me sell so much at a time. Both are in perfect like new condition!
Why would they only let you sell one at a time?
Beautiful bag. Just purchased a mini
Yay, enjoy your new mini :)
You’re so thorough! Great review
Thank you! xx
One of the best reviews!!
Yay thank you!
Question, is there like a square sewn inside the inner zipper pocket of your bag?
Hi Eva. No there isn’t.
I'm in love with the mini! They're all gorgeous.. Great vid beautiful..Xo 😘❤️
Excellent video. Very detailed and straight to the point. Thank you
Great comparison!!! I’m loving the mini size so much! The other ones are beautiful as well! Great comparison!!💕❤️
Yoshea Lux thank you Yoshea!
I loved this video. So helpful I wanted the medium but now I know the small is for me . Thank you for the info ❤️
Tasha Morgan thank you, so glad it helped. I hope you love your Small when you get it 💗
me too
I think I want to get the Small because I honestly barely carry anything with me, but I want the option to carry a little bit more if needed

Very useful viedo. Helped me make my decision. I will go for the small as the medium seems too big...❤❤❤ Than you 🙏🙏🙏
Living the small size. Mini is so cute but so small!
Yes the small size is my favourite too :)
This was veery informative!! Thank you!!
Brilliant video, thank you. Do you have recommendations on the pebbled versus the shiny finish?
Heather Johnson i have the shiny mini for over a Year now. Chose the shiny after watching numerous video’s especially wear and tear.

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Can you tell me what the colour for the small size?
Small size is Oxblood colour
Small size is called plum, it’s a dark purple x
I have the medium in black and red handles..I love it.
I just purchased a medium antigona in grey. What do you think of the size does it get to be too much? I had been looking for a mini actually but wandered into a Saks Off Fifth and they had it at an AMAZING price but I'm wondering if it's too big
They seem really sturdy, if you walking in a crowd it seems like your purse would bump ppl?
I am DYING for the medium. I hope they release more colors.
Great choice! Are you waiting for a particular colour?
@@Handbagholic yeah. I want it in something other than black or light grey and that’s all I can seem to find right now. I just worry they are going to discontinue the Antigona. Do you know if and when they refresh this line?
Do you prefer the Pebble texture or shiny texture. Does one scratch more than the other?
Hi there. I prefer the shiny, I just think it looks nicer, however the shiny does scratch easier although, to be honest, both scratch depending on what happens to the bag. Both types of leather will show marks. I hope this helps and thanks for commenting, Steph
@@Handbagholic thank you so much! Very helpful
Hi, I just received my order today, it is the small size and to my surprise, the shoulder strap is not adjustable. I was under the impression the small Antigona comes with an adjustable strap, but I guess not..
Hi Olivutza, no the only one that can be adjusted is the mini, and it doesn’t adjust far.
Amazing video! Thanks a lot 💕 i’m 5’1 and looking for a work bag, the only size that would fit my laptop is the medium. But i’m afraid it’ll be too huge on me. Do you mind asking how tall are you to reference the size comparison? Also, do you think Antigona will go out of style anytime soon?
In some company it says large n I was like there’s no large coz u got medium small n mini... so I guess they’re pertaining to medium when they large?
There was a large size originally which is bigger than the medium but I don’t think it’s sold now. So most likely they’re referring to the medium size, as it is a large bag. I hope this helps.
Just come across this and I love it - will have to look at more of your videos. Can I ask where your jumper is from please? Thanks x
Natasha Pickavance thanks Natasha! The jumper is the Ridley jumper from All Saints. Xx
Thanks so much for replying! Xx
Beautiful Antigone. I have a navy blue
Can you get the ipad pro 12.9 with small size?

does the opening get easier to open over time?
Hi there. Some seem to have stiffer zips and they do get a little easier but hard to say for every bag.?
Would you still recommend givenchy small antagonia?
Thank you for such an informative video!
No problem I hope it helped.
Thanks for such a helpful video! Just subscribed :) The bag size names are a bit misleading-- when I think of a "mini" bag I think of something so small its nearly useless, but it seems like the perfect size for what I am looking for! :)
Yes they are misleading! I hope this helps and thanks for commenting, steph
Thanks for the great size comparison!
Is the mini similar in size to the LV speedy 25?? I’m leaning towards mini or small.
I would say small might be closed to speedy 25
Which size should I get to fit A4 papers in ?
A4 you would need the medium size :) hope this helps!
Handbagholic thank you ~ I really appreciate your reply , you’re a lifesaver :)
i think the mini remains as the best size for this bag. the mini can fit a lot of stuff and it's not bulky and you can use the strap as a crossbody.
Beautiful bag i have the large black.
Can you please measure the top of the bag of the mini (where the zippers at) to the bottom of the handle? I want to see if the handle opening matches mine. Yours looks bigger. Not sure if the video makes it look bigger. Just received my mini today.
Love this video! Would you mind telling me what shirt you're wearing? It looks so nice!
Love the medium
It's a great size. Thanks for commenting Elly
Awesome video!!! Thank you!👏🏾
You are so welcome!
I got the black small in pebbled leather 3 wks ago. Today I purchased the medium to compare it with the small. Love all your videos 😍
Thanks Cathy! Congratulations on your new Antigona, it's such a great bag.

Hello there, great vid!
What does the brand call the small size oxblood or aubergine...? I couldn't find 'plum' online.
xoxo
I brought the small one the medium was to big but all really nice bags
kristina mendoza good choice the small is nice - the medium is large so I only use for work! Thanks for commenting 💗
Handbagholic you’re welcome
Are the bags quite heavy themselves? I am looking at the mini atm...
It's lighter
Which Givenchy bag is this called? & what colors ?
Newbie here! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful & practical hbag. 👍⚘️
Do you think the small would carry a Mac book air?
Hi Janet, thanks for commenting. No, the small won't carry a 13-inch MacBook air, only the medium size. I hope this helps!
Thank you for this amazing video. It was very helpful.
I love this bag but I watched reviews saying the strap unhooking and bag falling off the shoulder. That’s just a deal breaker for me.
Is the medium strap adjustable?
Hi there, no the strap is not adjustable on the medium. Thanks for commenting.
Great video, thank you
Thank you Aaren! :)
Does purse mean wallet in US English?
Purse means bag in the UK. I think the US describe a 'bag' as a 'purse'.
