GIVENCHY ANTIGONA COMPARISON | Smooth Leather vs Faux Croc, Small vs Mini, Pros/Cons, Mod Shots
I am back with another luxury handbag comparison video! In today's video I compare the Givenchy Antigona based on size (small vs mini) and leather material (smooth leather vs faux croc or mic croc). I go over the pros and cons of each leather type and bag size, along with what fits inside each bag. I also show mod shots (I'm 5' for reference) and I share which bag I am preferring at the moment. P.s. did I mention how beautiful the crocodile embossed leather is?!! I hope you enjoy!

I really wish I could give this more than the one like. It's so difficult to find a comprehensive review of both these sizes

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching! That is so sweet of you :)

[@tonipeterson5294]

I had to comment. I know this video is old. However, it's one of THE BEST comparison videos I've ever seen! Well done. You made my decision easy as to what size to buy. I wish there would be more videos like this!!

[@rhan88]

This is one of the best review and comparisons I've seen yet!

[@leeraxd]

I swear… I’ve watched so many bag reviewers on youtube and Anne has got to be one of the most refined, well spoken, thorough reviewers!! I know she’s probably busy being a doctor but I hope she uploads more vids because she’s just so damn good at these lol and she’s one of the few bag reviewers that don’t go on unnecessary tangents.

[@lala-ct9ir]

Yes, she is very good.

[@ErikinaFuschini]

Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in LYXBAG other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals..

[@AllthePrettyPurses]

Really helpful comparison. I just found your channel -- looking forward to watching more of your videos. Also, it's nice to see someone show off these bags who's the same height as me.

[@mparker212]

This is such a thoroughly done review. So appreciate this, Anne! I'm waiting for mine in the mail.

[@xOmniCloudx]

I never knew I wanted a (faux) Crocodile skin bag until now and definitely a future purchase I have to make. Also, you have the same last name as my mother. People often think she is a doctor, especially because she used to work at a hospital and can't comprehend that it is an actual last name haha.

[@meganscloset8927]

This video is so helpful! Thanks for the comparison to the Alma BB and for the modeling shots ❤️

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching Megan! So glad the video was helpful. Come back and see me! xoxo

[@DarinelWinthrop]

Well, I’ve always been scratching my head about HIDUPZobsession with school bags and their practicality, but this video is adorable! Congratulations.

[@evelyndiaz4932]

Yes mine fell staring in puddles twice on a rainy day😖 thankfully the material is amazing I just dried cleaned it with paper towel and it’s like it never happened. The strap snapping off is my biggest cons. 😡😡

[@AnneDoctor]

Wow! I am so glad it didn't damage it. I love how robust the leather seems to be, however, Givenchy has got to be getting some complaints about the strap. I wonder if they will make a change in the future?? Thanks for sharing! xoxo

[@taylorminh]

I have the Givenchy antigona small in croc shiny leather and I love it, but I wish that I would bought the mini instead because I just find the bag too heavy. I also had the mini in an orange color which is why I wanted the small, but because it's so heavy I don't use it that often.😔💕

[@irishque]

I do believe the mock croc is more gorgeous..i hv a ysl mock croc camera case and its my favourite n i admire its beauty more than my chanels

[@AnneDoctor]

YSL does some amazing moc croc. I have been eyeing one of their clutches in the black moc croc. Thanks so much for watching! xoxo

[@AngryLola]

Just discovered you... and I’m so glad I did!! Great review on the handbags. The most thorough review I’ve seen. Very helpful. One thing - I wish you would’ve worn clothing that wasn’t black so we could really see how the handbags fall on the body when you did the mod shots. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. xoxo

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching! Haha, I noticed that too when I went back and rewatched the video. I definitely know for next time, if I am showing black bags - do not wear all black! ;) Come back and see me! xoxo

[@maryannemoll]

Super love this comparison and review. Very informative and entertaining. It’s like you’re just talking to us from across a coffee table or something while we’re having muffins.

[@debm9413]

Thank you for such an informative comparison. I’ve heard numerous KZbinrs mention that their straps have fallen off. That’s a major concern.

[@evelyndiaz4932]

Debra Quaka yesss it is!!! I purchased mine on Black Friday and have not stopped wearing it since I received it. I’m in love!! BUT... the strap does come off constantly, it is so annoying. I was wearing it yesterday and both times that I got out of my car the strap came off and it fell in the floor and it was pouring raining so it fell on paddles both times. So aggravating.! To me that’s my biggest con.

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching! I agree. It hasn't happened to my moc croc antigona yet but it has definitely happened to my red pebbled leather antigona. I also feel like I am consciously picking it up by the handles more because I am nervous about the strap. Sigh...

[@dinavienna]

I own the same small smooth and I am so excited to see you have the black mini .. I have an opportunity to buy the mini in the same color as you .. i thought i wanted another color but now I think they are sufficiently different

[@ZionMartinez-il2og]

I love the bags and thanks for giving few details on both the leather black and the crocodile bag😊

[@AnneDoctor]

Zion 2006 Martinez thanks so much for watching! Glad the video was helpful 😊. Come back and see me! Xoxo

[@mikanmeow]

Finally a comparison on the moc croc & smooth leather antigona 😍🙌🏻 i think i might go for mini size in smooth leather although the croc is TDF! And maybe get another ysl kate in mock croc instead :p

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching Melanie! Oooooo the YSL kate bag in moc croc is so beautiful. I have been eyeing the one with the tassel for so long! Come back and see me. xoxo

[@mikanmeow]

Anne Doctor yes pleasee! Would love to see some styling vids too on how u would dress up with ur bags etc 😍

[@AnneDoctor]

@@mikanmeow so funny you said that. I am going to start introducing more fashion and style videos! :) Thanks for your request - I always appreciate getting ideas!

[@essentiallyann2650]

Thank you for a great review. I have the small in the pebbled leather and have just ordered the mini in the faux croc, but I wish I'd seen your review first. How extremely stupid of Givenchy to make the strap attachment so insecure. I am specifically getting the mini to sling across my body when I'd heading to work on my bicycle. Imagine the bag just falling off then. I hope that they've spotted this glaring design flaw since your review and changed it, but this thing has been selling like hot cakes so why change when you're winning, right? So disappointed, since I also have Givenchy boots and shoes and everything has so far been of the highest quality.😡.

[@MrsPazStyle]

Love my small Givenchy Antigona😍♥️♥️♥️

[@sabinafromapplecity]

Hi, dear Anne! Both Antigona bags are gorgeous! I have the smooth black leather on my Longchamp bag and it is so carefree, I am surprised. I am not babying it at all. And we are Emilie wallet twins☺️. Thanks for the great review!

[@AnneDoctor]

Sabina from Apple City thanks for watching Sabina! Yay for the twinning 🙌🏼! I am definitely not as afraid of smooth leather as I used to be. Glad to hear you aren’t either 😊

[@KraftyPaws]

Oooh that mini antigona in croc is gorgeous!!! Now on my wishlist and a new subbie!

[@christinasummers3908]

i honestly LOVE this video! literally exactly what i was looking for. and you are so great on camera!! Keep it up!! subscribed :)

[@queenc8280]

Wow amazing comparison review! New subbie here! You're so intelligent and detailed with your descriptions. Love hearing your voice as well. Classy and beautiful. Thanks for this amazing review. 👏🏾

[@NikitaAlexandria]

Great review! Thank you so much! I have an Antigona in the size medium in the pebbled leather in black but am really wanting to get a mini as well! I just can't decide between the smooth leather and the faux croc. Both are so beautiful! I am just really nervous that I will damage the smooth leather by scratching it!! I am so happy to hear you don't regret buying it in the smooth!

[@NikitaAlexandria]

Ps - Just subscribed :) xx

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! I know - it’s such a hard choice because they are both beautiful. Yea, the smooth leather on the antigona is not like the smooth leather on some other bags like Celine (which scratches super easily), so you don’t have to worry about it as much. You can’t go wrong with either choice! Xoxo

[@TheBagRehab]

Hi! How do you like the grained leather so far?

[@shachede6828]

Yeah I am getting that mini, I might get the pebbled, I love that texture

[@PHDinMeTV]

Nice 👍🏿 comparison vid! Thanks for sharing 🌸

[@AnneDoctor]

Thank you for watching! Happy Holidays! xoxo

[@lionessprowess3581]

Both are gorgeous. TFS your experience with the the Antigonas

[@lulahpops6718]

Really good video, you executed the comparisons and contrast. Thanks for making such a descriptive take on this, you made it easier for me to decide what bag to go for!

[@thenicethings9]

Great review and thanks for showing the alma bb for comparison.

[@hadarz9605]

thanks for the video! i can not decide between the shiny or the croc in the small size..

[@elsaandnoah]

Hey just discovered your channel 👋 Yes! The D ring thing - those slits do line up and strap slips out, never both at the same time though hahaha 😆 I don’t rely on the shoulder strap much but Givenchy should improve their hardware to alleviate this problem. Great video, thank you! I have a medium & small antigona. Back in the day, big bags were in and I thought small wasn’t practical…what was I thinking? Small is fine. I should sell my medium I guess.

[@sakemazur5450]

Thank you for your helpful review to make a buying decision!

[@carol8709]

I have a small grey croc and picked up the mini in a pink shade. I ended up returning as for some reason the size of the mini seems when carrying some how the d ring for the strap manages to come unhooked. I had seen another youtuber talk about that and ignored since my small doesn't do that....but the mini definitely does. I ended up returning given that issue just annoyed me and swapped for a Fendi Kan I bag. Sad that this seems to be a regular issue with this bag.

[@AnneDoctor]

Hi Carol! Thanks for watching. Wow, that's good to know that I am not the only person who has experienced issues with the strap falling off. It hasn't happened with my new croc antigona but it definitely has with my red pebbled leather mini antigona. It's so unfortunate that you had to sell yours. Givenchy must be hearing a lot of complaints.

[@priyankavemuri9970]

Your videos have been really informative! Can you please do a video on your bag collection sometime?

[@AnneDoctor]

Priyanka Vemuri thank you! So glad you have been enjoying them! I’m actually planning on doing one coming up in January. I figured I would try and kick off each year with a collection video 😊. Come back and see me! Xoxo

[@lyla5961]

Thank you for this it’s exactly what I was looking for! But also I must know where your jacket is from! I have been looking for a nice one for a while . Please let me know xx best

[@Oystermato]

This bag style still holds up years later

[@zakariakanzi6442]

You are amazing!!! You’re a natural!!! 💖💖💖

[@missionpossibletv]

Hey Anne, great comparison. Have you thought of swapping the bag straps. It would be interesting to see the new look. Please do a video!!

[@AnneDoctor]

missionpossibletv thanks for watching! Ooo that’s a great idea. I will have to try that! Come back and see me 😘

[@CynicalCyndi]

Got the mini croc one after this vid. Do you know how to adjust the strap length? I've been tryna figure it out foreverrr and their customer service wasn't very helpful :(

[@PureSeduction]

Thank you for the awesome comparison review!! You got yourself a new subscriber!

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! :)

[@ThoseNigerianTwins]

The small is so perfect!

[@klalethia]

Love the Givenchy antigona ! Such a beautiful bag. Also nice review, keep it up :)

[@AnneDoctor]

Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed it. Come back and see me! xoxo

[@bethfreiberg7353]

Thank you thank you for comparing to the alma bb! I have that bag and wanted something bigger and was afraid the mini would be the same size.

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching Beth! I am so glad it helped. Happy Holidays! xoxo

[@pjeames3334]

Loving the Mini 🥰

[@mixedandknot5911]

Anne, I came upon your vlog and loved your honest opinion on these bags. I am in the process of buying the small Antigona for everyday wear or the YSL puffy small. Which bag can you recommend for daily use?

[@ashleyorio5250]

Excellent video! I love your leather jacket. Can you share the brand/style, please? Thanks!!

[@KSlivinghappy]

Excellent Excellent Excellent review!!!! Thank you very much

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays. Come back and see me! xoxo

[@stacyb6461]

Love this. I’m finally getting an Antigona. I think i want the small size in a wine color pebbled leather and the mini in that faux croc. Question is which one to get first first? Lol 😂

[@AnneDoctor]

Stacy B thanks for watching! It’s so beautiful in the wine color. I want to eventually get a larger bag (like the antigona) in a wine color and one in a camel color. Let me know which one you end up getting first! Xoxo

[@stacyb6461]

Anne Doctor will do. Leaning toward black croc 🐊 small

[@markalakay]

I say both! 😂

[@emmy7436]

Just picked up the mini croc in black from SSENSE and it’s only $1288 right now!

[@pursebabejess2115]

Very nice comparison thank you so much ♥️🌈

[@camillieeb]

Thanks so much for this comparison!

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@judeallan268]

Thanks Anne. Great review.

[@evelyndiaz4932]

Thank you Ann for the comparison!! I also bought the mini moc croc in black from ssensse Black Friday sale. I have lately noticed a golden brownish copetudo undertone on my black that i did not noticed when it first arrived. Now I’m not sure if I like that or hate it . I was wondering if yours has that undertone as well.

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching Evelyn! Hmmm, I haven't noticed that on mine but I will definitely keep an eye out for it. I wonder if it has to do with different shades of lighting, since the bag is so shiny. Keep me updated! xoxo

[@mstmckinley]

Mine is like this too

[@reginaedgin4937]

I loved your video !! 💕

[@martinejasmin9716]

Great video! Can a medium agenda fit in the mini? Trying to decide on which size to get

[@myhubbyislouisvuitton4218]

I wonder which size is comparable to the speedy 25? 🤔

[@CapeCodBelle]

Thanks for the great review! I've had my eye on the shiny small for a few years now. How do you think the small Antigona would be for travel? Is it a heavy bag on its own?

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching. The small size does get heavy if you put a lot of items in it. I don't really notice it on a day to day basis because I don't carry very much with me. When I am traveling, however, I do like to carry a bit more, so I would probably not choose to take my small antigona traveling with me. In addition, it is a bag that does not lay flat against your body, which is important to me when I travel. xoxo

[@evalmiki2011]

Great review! Does the croc leather get scratched easily?

[@20MShari]

So helpful!!! THANK YOU

[@gorgeouss79]

Excellent thorough review!! Do you have a review on the Dior bag?

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching! I have a "reveal" and "first impressions" of the mini dior bag. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5bde3x9eql3kKs Hope it helps! xoxo

[@Seemstobereal]

Nice video.. I just got the mini antigona in shiny

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching! oh yay! I hope you love it! xoxo

[@kalicali2231]

Excellent reviews! I recently purchased the mini in calfskin and will try using invisible ring adjusters to help secure the straps.

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching Kali! I think adding something to secure the strap is a great idea. I will probably look into something similar. Thanks for sharing! xoxo

[@emineh1991]

Kali Cali what are invisible ring adjusters?

[@SethInNYC]

Hi Anne! I am a new subscriber- I LOVE your channel and your perspective on luxury bags! I have a question about the Small Antigona. Can you fit a laptop in? If so, what kind? I am interested in this as a work bag but I want to see if It fits a tech device.

[@vaniaroselyna9341]

In my research to buy my bag, I have found that most people who owned givenchy antigona said the smooth leather one is better against scratches, weather and holds its shape better than the pebbled leather. I hope this information helps 😁

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for sharing Vania!

[@LucyRodMusic]

Yes!!...My strap falls off on the Medium. So annoying!!

[@Neetabeeta1972]

So are you still loving the small Antigona? I'm in the market so I'm trying to decide if this is a trendy bag or still a good buy.

[@breadelaine]

😍 😍😍😍 perfect information ~~~ and bags

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching Elaine! Come back and see me! xoxo

[@172lalala]

Are you still using the mini croc antigona, how is it holding up? I’m thinking of purchasing but I’m worried about wear and tear. Thanks! 😊

[@ppp0724]

Thanks for this review! Saw the croc mini in the store before. So beautiful in person.

[@Abcdefghi971]

Hi there, I just bought a brand new small black croc Antigona from SSENSE and upon inspection, I found a very thin line for about 1-1/2 inch somewhere at the front of the bag and 1 very small bubble at the backside and 1 at the feet of the bag. Are these normal leather imperfections or will you consider these as slightly damaged bag? Thanks in advance for your reply!

[@mspetitfrou5573]

Hello. When you purchased your bag in ssense, how long did it take for you to receive it? and did you have to pay for taxes/customs fees? thanks

[@tanyaoneil-urquhart5141]

Love your videos, very informative. I’m trying to decide between a GIVENCHY Antigone in croc or pebbled leather. The croc looks smaller than the pebbled. Is this me or is it actually smaller? Also thinking of Celine Nano in pebbled. I like hand held. Which bag would be better? (I have large hands)

[@kayla220220]

This is weird but can you provide the measurements for the small if that’s okay I can’t decide what size

[@Palomacocoypina]

New subscriber 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@themorganleigh]

Can you get this one with silver hardware?? I absolutely hate gold.

[@only5mia]

Thanks so much for the review! I got the same from ssense. It's my first time shopping with them, so I am a little paranoid about the authenticity. With your other Antigona small bag, how many digits does the serial number have? I just want to make sure that the mini has the same number of digits.

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching! I have shopped from ssense before and I have never had an issue. I totally get you wanting to be sure though. I just checked and my antigonas have serial numbers that start with letters (7 digits total, including letters). xoxo

[@only5mia]

Anne Doctor Thank you Anne!! Yes I have 7 digits too including letters. That gave me a peace of mind but honestly the bag is stunning and I’m surprised at how light it is! :)

[@ajikea8778]

Can a regular iPad fit in a small? Thanks

[@blushingpossum]

Do you think the antigona is a classic? I have been wanting this bag forever!

[@blushingpossum]

Absolutely incredible review! You are my new favorite!

[@australialover24]

It looks gorgeous but I think I rather add the SpeedyB25.

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching! The speedy is such a classic - you can't go wrong! I think my speedy b-25 is a forever piece. Come back and see me! xoxo

[@chloem.1178]

Great review! I wanted to order from the Ssense site but was concerned about the cost of duties (it’s a Canadian company & I’m in the US). If you don’t mind me asking, approximately how much did you end up paying in duties?

[@AnneDoctor]

Hi Chloe! Thanks so much for watching. The duties are all included when you make the purchase online. I live in the US too and didn’t pay extra 😊. Happy holidays!!

[@chloem.1178]

Anne Doctor Awesome, good to know! Thanks for the swift response & Happy Holidays to you as well!

[@ShabbeerAhmed-ys6qo]

Making proess mama

[@saraho3298]

Which do u prefer…the croc or smooth leather?

[@sheawineland1445]

Can you fit a laptop in the small does anyone think?

[@larissagarvin716]

Can the small fit a Surface Pro in it, or A4 folders for work?

[@estherasdf]

I own this and it doesn’t, would recommend the medium in that case

[@yvonnecarter9712]

For the mini bag is that the only size that bag comes in?

[@brownbabydoll7912]

It also comes In a small I’m debating myself on which one ❤️😌

[@lovemushroom2312]

I was searching for antigona review and found your vid, thanks for sharing. Does the strap issue really a bother and unreliable? Personally I don't like bags that give way easily, seems pretty unsecured. Is there anyway to overcome this flaw?

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching! Yes, the strap on my red antigona fell off once when I was walking. I have also heard from others that they have had the same issue. It's really disappointing because it is a beautiful bag. xoxo

[@amandaavia]

I also have the same black smooth small Antigona and I’ve never experienced the strap falling off, though I have heard that in other reviews too!

[@pameilia9270]

Which leather more stiff and thick ?

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching! The croc material is more substantial feeling but both bags are pretty stiff. xoxo

[@pameilia9270]

Thank u 😊

[@pcalmalel6682]

👍👍

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks for watching! 😘

[@vanessasora4012]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Seemstobereal]

The straps kept falling off until my daughter made me put a sticky tape on the hook slide

[@AnneDoctor]

Thanks so much for watching! That is good idea to put something on the hook to keep it from sliding off. Maybe I will do something like that as a preventative measure. Thanks for sharing! xoxo
