Man, I feel like I was quite the pain when it came to getting my Givenchy Antigona. I lamented for months over my color indecision, passing the bag up season after season, waiting for the perfect version to call my name. I even asked you twice which one to get for myself, and I was slow to pull the trigger. As fate would have it, one of my friends on Twitter let me know that RueLaLa had the pinkversion on sale one morning, and I jumped at the opportunity.
I’ve had a few weeks to carry my new bag and decided it is time to put my Antigona up to our Purseonals test. I haven’t had this bag as long or carried it as much as others that I’ve reviewed in the past, but I’ve used it enough to see how it measures up. Here’s how my Givenchy Antigona scores in our PurseBlog Purseonals ratings:
This will not shock you: pregnant stars do not mess around with micro bags. We didn’t set out to do a maternity edition of our usual celeb bag round-up, it just sort of happened accidentally; you could call it…unplanned. Some of these celebs are just barely baby bumpin’, and some are heavily, alarmingly pregnant. A … Read more
Beauty gifts are some of my favorites, both to receive and to shop for. During the holiday shopping season, beauty brands pull out all the stops and put together boxed sets that include some of their most popular products, often at a net discount to buyers. Not only does that make for an ideal opportunity … Read more
Although the contemporary bag market is full to bursting with companies vying for your handbag dollars, it’s still somewhat difficult to find a well-priced bag that feels luxurious. That’s why we’ve been huge Botkier fans for so long; since the early 2000s, Monica Botkier has been turning out beautiful leather bags at attainable prices, all designed in New York City. Because of the brand’s sub-$600 price points, Botkier bags also make great gifts, and we’ve teamed up with the brand to bring you some of our favorites.
In case you ever doubted the seemingly bottomless demand for Hermès Birkins, Neiman Marcus’ decision to sell the bags pre-owned on its website and the available bags’ quick disappearance from the site should tell you all you need to know. Even at a sometimes steep markup, the bags, which debuted on the site earlier this week, have already more than half sold out. Not that anyone ever accused Hermès customers of being price-sensitive.
Yesterday was one of New York’s worst weather days in recent memory (and, truth be told, perhaps in my entire time living in the city), and nothing will make you more acutely aware of your winter gear’s shortcomings that howling wind and bitter cold. Because cold weather accessories were naturally on our minds, we picked out a few that we’d all like to add to our collections in the very near future for this week’s edition of Want It Wednesday.
Although getting creative with lookbooks has become popular among contemporary clothing brands in recent years, handbag brands tend to stick to the traditional, head-on images of bags that we see all over online retailers. If you’re a little bored with those, we’d like to direct your toward Mansur Gavriel’s Spring 2015 handbag lookbook, which includes … Read more
Last week’s holiday travel rush had celebs busting out their biggest and best travel bags, totes and duffels. But this week, it’s business as usual. Some celebs are favoring the minis, some are still ferrying around their gigantic Louis Vuitton and Givenchy bags, and Meryl (FRIGGIN’) Streep was actually spotted carrying the same bag we saw on Kesha’s arm last week. That’s right, Meryl Streep and Kesha have something in common, besides both being blond and amazing.
Beyoncé’s shoe style can be described thusly: go big or go home. With her record-breaking hits and endless musical accomplishments, Beyoncé is the ultimate Queen Bee. So how does a queen like Beyoncé dress? Well, if you’re thinking of some exquisite sky-high heels that are over-the-top and heavily embellished, then you are correct. We’ve checked … Read more
We know that many of our readers reside outside of the US, and even if you don’t, you may very well have someone on your holiday shopping list that does. Because international shipping and duties can get expensive unless you know where to shop, we went ahead and picked out some great gifts from some of our favorite online retailers outside of the US. If you’re shipping to someone with a non-American address, all of these sites have reliable policies on shipping, duties and returns because they specialize in global shopping. Check out our picks below; if you’re shopping for someone special on US soil, you can check out our entire array of seasonal gift guides.
Black Givenchy Antigona Bags aren’t exactly a tough sell; not only has the brand been moving them briskly for seasons, but the ultra-expensive exotic versions sell out before they even hit the sales floor. It’s the kind of bag every designer dreams of creating, because it more or less enables a company to print money for a couple of years. There are limitations to every mega-popular bag, though, and Givenchy might have found one of them when it remade the Antigona in glossy fish skin.
