It may not be as popular as the Nightingale or the Pandora, but there’s no denying how adorable the Givenchy Antigona is. I have always referred to it as the ‘bulbous beauty’, given that fact that it’s voluptuously rounded.
This one (which I think is from the Pre-Spring 2012 line-up) is given a sporty makeover, with the body in cream leather accented by detailing in bright orange and black. And to top it all off, it’s finished with gold-tone hardware for that extra luxe look. Measuring 40 cm across at its widest point and standing around 30 cm tall, I’ve seen Antigona bags used as roomy baby bags, as well as on guys who have no issue with the fact that it’s a ladies bag.
If you’re looking to purchase it online, I’ve done the homework for you. Barney’s stocks the one in black that retails for USD2410, while Singapore-based Bag Bistro has both colours for SGD2390 each. The moral of the story? Always do your research before buying anything online because there’s always savings to be had.

BB, would you (or anyone else) happen to know the price of the Antigona Smooth Leather Tote Black in Small and Medium in Paris? Going there next month.
The one that measures 33 cm by 28 cm is around EUR1490. Not sure about the other size.
BB, do you know whether it’s available in SG boutique?
I think I saw one a couple of weeks ago, but I’m not 100% sure.
You don’t need to hit 1K, any online purchase more $300 you are liable for tax. Some companies even charge an admin fee on top of GST. As far as I know, only LUISAVIAROMA and Net-A-Porter has tax incorporated in already so no surprises when it comes.
I thought it was SGD400.
