Fake or Real? Is Your Mini Givenchy Antigona Authentic?

[@KempfFalcone]

Yes, that *amzclothes* dress! I have the candy pink one and I've been wearing my "Barbie" dress all summer long. It's awesome!

[@Belleofhair]

why does it matter lol im not spending 2500 for no damn purse i will take the replica and be just as happy

[@MyClosetRocks]

Angeeluh hi! There are a lot of reasons besides making you happy actually! I'm working on a blog about it, but fake bags use unethical labor (including child labor), infringe on copyright, source unethical and unsustainable material, and are illegal! The video is for people that want an authentic bag, but are unsure if they bought one second hand since there are a ton of fakes out there! I'll let you know when the blog is posted so you can learn more! Thanks for watching! :)

[@Belleofhair]

So do you not think those same children are making the "real" bags?

[@MyClosetRocks]

Angeeluh yes that's correct, ethical standards are in place with the brands! This obviously comes with that price tag and I totally get the prices are still ridiculous! Let me know if you need anything else!

[@mrvgstyle2442]

People don't realize🤷🤷 that by purchasing and owning fakes they're sending the message that they support the human slave trade, a good number who are children, who are forced to make those fake/replica 👜 👝 bags. It's sad that people are doing that to their fellow human beings. It's about greed. 💰💰💰💰💰💰 It had to be said.

[@MyClosetRocks]

mrvg style Yes exactly! I know a lot of people don't realize it and it's such a huge problem! :( I'm so glad you understand the impact! ♥️

[@silvianatalia126]

If you bought Givenchy Mini Antigona in 2015 (and before) the strap is detachable.

[@MyClosetRocks]

Thank you!

[@Quevinedoua]

Both look fake for me because of the handles and straps. Sorry it is the I saw them Thank you for sharing 🤝

[@JennaNeal]

Thank you. I want one of these but definitely not counterfeit and am shocked some of the other luxury brands use lead in their products. This is why I wouldn’t buy counterfeit and am shocked they still use this and it’s so expensive. I haven’t seen any warnings in this brand so hopeful it’s a better option. Thank you for the review.

[@KiyomiTakada]

Are there a version of genuine small antigona with strap not detachable?

[@MyClosetRocks]

Hi! Yes! The older ones are not detachable on the mini version! :)

[@13ikea]

There are minis on their website has the logo toward the middle. Question: could I reach out to you to further authenticate an Antigona I’ve been eyeing?

[@MyClosetRocks]

It can vary from year to year this video is a little old! :)

[@13ikea]

@@MyClosetRocks thanks! I added an additional comment to my post. Do you do complementary authentication? I have pictures of an Antigona I’m interested in

[@MyClosetRocks]

@@13ikea I recommend using authenticatefirst.com for a professional opinion! :)

[@MyClosetRocks]

@@13ikea but if you'd like you can email the photos to [e-mail] and I can take a quick initial look for any red flags!

[@chromadomino]

In the firt Antigonas the strap was NOT detatchable though.

[@MyClosetRocks]

You're correct! I actually purchased an older version 6 months ago and I thought I updated the description in the video to correct that, but I guess it didn't save! Thank you! :)

[@ysabelle161]

Thanks for sharing but it will be more specific if they are closer and easy to see the difference. Camera is too far. Hard to go by just what you are saying.

[@MyClosetRocks]

Hi! Please see description there's a blog post mentioned because I know it's hard to see lol

[@Buttercookiesssss]

You forgot to show the date codes in your blog..

[@alfonso2053]

Cual es el berdadero el de briyo o 3l mate

[@ltran2129]

I just received a medium size version and everything looks good except the zipper has a slightly large gap where the pull is attached and my dust bag is black. The straps are detacheable but i believe this was changed in the newer models. Can you advise?

[@MyClosetRocks]

Hi! Yes packaging and details have been changed since this video! I'd recommend authenticatefirst.com for a professional opinion! :)

[@charlenearroyo7217]

Hi! Would you mind showing us the datecode? What is the format? Also, do you know if datecodes can be the same on 2 bags(mini antigona)? Thanks!

[@pauca2014]

you forgot the most important difference, which is the glossy leather compared with the mat leather surface..its the first thing you see from a distance!

[@MyClosetRocks]

Hi! Thanks for watching! While that is a significant difference, it wasn't what clued me in to why it's not authentic. The reason is because Givenchy sells both patent leather and matte leather mini antigonas! :)

[@pauca2014]

Ok, that makes sense but then why not compare 2 matte with each other or two glossy...the same reason why you would not compare a brown with a black bag..

[@MyClosetRocks]

Yes, that would be ideal! However, I got this fake bag by accident and returned it the next day. I don't look to buy fake bags ever so I took advantage of the one I had available at the time! I wanted to focus on the main components of authentication details, not necessarily the color as that wasn't something that was super important in this case! :)

[@pauca2014]

Keep up the good work! You are amazing!

[@MyClosetRocks]

Pau ca thank you so much! :)

[@jacmon11]

My givenchy antigena has stitching in the interior going straight across the middle of the bag however I noticed some do not.... I purchased my bag on Fashonphile.... and i believe its from 2014 .. its in a small size.... should I be concerned?

[@MyClosetRocks]

Jackie hi! Thanks for watching! No reason for concern, I've seen both ways done in authentic bags! :)

[@jacmon11]

My Closet Rocks thank u so much! :)

[@Dogs455]

Ok I got a mini antigona from the real real and it doesn’t pass 2 of your criteria. Logo is centered and serial no is 6 characters. It is an older 2014 version. Did I get scammed?? They are supposed to be a good company.,,

[@MyClosetRocks]

Hi! Most likely not, there are many variations with serial numbers and designs! While it's most likely authentic, I would recommend authenticatefirst.com for a second opinion! :)

[@Dogs455]

@@MyClosetRocks thanks I definitely will. I’m nervous!

[@MyClosetRocks]

@@Dogs455 don't be! If it is fake you can definitely get your money back from the real real! :)

[@elizastonereliza3545]

I don't have any luxury bags . But I can tell the real bags vs fake 😂. Real is good material and the way they make the bags .

[@sandralynn1114]

I bought my Givenchy Antigona in Paris France at Givenchy in 2015 and the name is centered on the triangle at the top.

[@MyClosetRocks]

Sandra Evans hi! Thanks for your comment! Which size did you purchase? There are differences in where the logo is placed depending on which year and size you bought! :)

[@sandralynn1114]

My Closet Rocks I bought the medium shiny leather. 2015

[@MyClosetRocks]

Sandra Evans Awesome! Love the medium size, it's the perfect travel bag! The logo is centered on both the small and medium sized models, but the mini has the logo more towards the top of the triangle! 😁

[@ladylucktaken2286]

Yes def got my bag in France also and it is centered

[@tippytoe1250]

Lucky Shantel My mini is center also and I got it at Harrods in London.

[@GodIsWithUs4LIFE]

I will think about getting the real one in the future for now I am happy with REPLICA!

[@OpulentAristocrat]

Agreed! I have 4 fake ones and they look real when i put it on my arm lol

[@reahndaku2230]

Where did you buy your replicas?

[@annabethkelly7097]

Hi, can i send you the photos to check if its authentic?

[@MyClosetRocks]

Hi! Please see description with blog post link! Thanks! :)

[@elvillian]

Would've like to have a closer look, by describing doesn't help

[@MyClosetRocks]

That's what the blog post is for! :)

[@Laura-zc7ns]

Hi I recently purchased a nightingale micro from Fashionette a German website all seems legit but I'm unsure why the serial number is upside down does anyone know if this is normal as I've never seen anyone with this problem before the rest of the bag looks good.

[@ms-ys1wo]

Fake

[@lastofthe70schildren70]

The older models do not have detachable straps lady!

[@MyClosetRocks]

Yes there's a correction in the description added a long time ago! Thank you!

I think I have a fake mine has 6 on tag

Oh does " MP B 0149" look fake to you? Thank you 🙏
