GIVENCHY ANTIGONA SMALL 1 YEAR REVIEW // In-depth Pros' & Cons, Hacks, Wear & Tear, Modshots

[@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot]

I appreciate that you are doing a 1 year follow up. When we spend a lot for something, we may love it at the beginning but over time we don’t find ourself reaching for them as much. This kind of video helps us with our purchase dollars! I’m always interested in the hardware & how it fairs in weather. This was a really great review. I do prefer metal feet. I do prefer a bag with a strap also.

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you, so happy you liked it! And I always try to find reviews that aren't made a few weeks after getting an item, as it's just not a good indicator of whether something is good and will last a long time, I find. Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate the lovely comment 💖

[@maryannemoll]

The most comprehensive review of this bag that I have seen. Very nice!

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@OccupiedbyFashion]

You are so spot on. Thank you! I have the medium one in pebbled cognac and now I will be purchasing the small in shiny black!

[@FloInTheCity]

Your bag still looks absolutely pristine! Despite the weight, I do think it is an incredibly durable and well crafted bag. Well done to your sister for discovering the safety feature (whether it was an intentional design or not) but I will definitely do that on mine from now!! 🙌🙌 Great review dear, TFS and have a fab week! 💝💕💕

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you, Flo! 💖 And I couldn't agree more, it truly feels like fantastic craftmanship just touching the bag. Yeah, she's a smart cookie haha 💖 So happy you liked it, I do wonder it it's intentional but I'm thinking maybe no since I haven't seen anyone talking about it. Thank you so much for watching 😘

[@tamydixon-rankin7957]

You literally answered every single question I had about this bag. Now I am convinced to go buy it! Thank you.

[@sherrensteal2635]

I like how you put so much care in your bag. Imagine, it's been with your for like 2 years now and it still looks good as new!

[@SandraSkaar]

Yes!!! It's definitely one of the best things about it, it looks pretty much new still 🤩💖

[@AlexaStyleBook]

I was obsessed with this bag for such a long time but when I carried it, it seems heavy on its own so I decided to pass on it. Beautiful bag though💕XOXO💕

[@SandraSkaar]

Yeah it's not the lightest bag so it won't be for everyone! Thank you for watching 🤗💕

[@tikkas1203]

Thank you for the review. Every time I see this bag I fall in love with it, but thank you for mention that it is a Heavy Bag! It is a deal breaker for me. No matter how much I love it, whenever I hold it I will regret. Beautiful bag anyway.

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you for that lovely comment! Yes, definitely steer clear, better to know that it wouldn't be comfortable to wear. It's probably one of those "admire from afar" bags for you then (I have a few of those as well 😁).

[@sandralynn1114]

Best review of this bag EVER! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯

[@amandaavia]

This is the best review of this handbag I’ve seen yet! And I’ve been looking at reviews for this since 2018😱. I finally purchased one while in Paris in 2019 for about two-thirds of the U.S. price and I can say that I absolutely agree with every single point you made here. It is so durable and secure. I actually tend to put my large 1L water bottle in sideways and it fits great! And I love that you said “use your brain” because I can’t tell you how many times I have measured or looked up the measurements of certain products I own (e.g., laptop, cell phone) to make sure they would fit in the bags, of which I also look up the measurements! I don’t know why people don’t do that more, and then end up returning a bag for this reason. Thank you for the comprehensive review and wishing you the best ❤️❤️

[@LoMerlot]

I love that you're doing a 1 year review! It's such a beautiful bag and i think your review was great!

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you so much, lovely 💖

[@blushingpossum]

First of all, you are so gorgeous! And second, this review is amazing. Im going back and forth with this bag for a good five years. You helped me with my deciison to finally get it

[@ertcg8885]

I love this bag, the medium is way big even for a guy, we in 2020 we don’t need to carry our life in a bag. I am so happy to know it holds up well even after heavily used.

[@fastandspinny]

Love the anti thief tips ! Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@KatarinaLuise]

This was such a great and thorough review! You went into so many details I have never heard anyone talk about this bag before! Like the leather "feet" and the clasp type, had no idea! Great tip about checking about the leather types, I'm always nervous about a smooth or soft leather tbh, so I prefer pebbled leather myself from my own experience. But you are right, it really depends on the leather! "unless you have pets or angry kids or lead a very angry lifestyle" BAHAHAH omg!!! I have honestly heard only really good things about this bag, it seems to be a favourite of many people who have it! It does look a very great and convenient and practical size and is a nice and classic style :) Black is the best and most wearable colour for sure! Loved the mod shots, I think it's cute versatile! Looks great :) Loved that you did a one year review, it's much more useful to hear a review of a product which is really loved and used, people seem to do unboxing out of excitement and then forget about their products after a few months haha!

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you so much, Kat! I can totally relate to worrying about smooth and shiny leather scratching, that's why I did a *ton* of research before plunging in and buying this haha, but so happy it worked out. And I totally agree with needing reviews over a longer time period. I absolutely hate it when someone (especially influencers) makes a raaaaave review of something, and you get the impression this is now the favorite thing ever. Turns out they had it for 8 days, and a month later they sold it. Integrity who? hahah. Thank you for watching as always 💖💖

[@CrystalValenzuela]

Omg the bag looks really good! 😱 I would be scared that leather would scratch easy so that’s awesome that’s it’s held up pretty well! Great review! Love that you kept it’s real 🙌🏽

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you so much, so happy you found it useful 💖

[@YosheaLux]

This bag is pretty popular and I can see why. It is gorgeous. 💕💕💕😍😍😍I love how structured it is? To me it still looks new! Love the black! Great review!! Love your sweater! 💕

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you, lovely! And yes, it really still does look like new, I'm so impressed by it being used so much for a full year and not a single dent or scratch. Love it! 😍💖

[@simplycm]

Oh wow love how much information you are providing about the pro’s and con’s of this bag.

[@MyNewObsession2017]

Loved this review and how deep you got into it! I also love that it came a year into use! So many people review a style product after only a short time, or based on first impressions and I often wonder if its actually helpful. That bag is gorgeous! I do think that it may not be big enough for me. I put everything in my bag, including my laptop, which definitely will not fit in there... I carry totes mostly. Thank you so much! Super glad you found my channel! I am really enjoying yours! New YT fam!!

[@HowDebbieSaves]

What a beautiful bag. I love your review, it was completely honest. I'm so glad you found my channel because it helped me find yours & I subscribed. Nice job.

[@SandraSkaar]

Aww thank you so much, I really appreciate it! So happy to have found you in the community 🥰

[@riasdesign6644]

I've been thinking about getting this bag for the past year. Thank you so much for a very detailed review.

[@SandraSkaar]

I'd say go for it, it's such a great staple bag in my collection! Thank you for watching, hope it was helpful and definitely let me know if you end up getting the bag and we become bag twins 😁😁😍

[@riasdesign6644]

@@SandraSkaar Definitely! I really like a structured bag it gives it so much character. It screams " I mean business" even tho most of the times we only have our wallet and makeup in there. lol

[@VictoriaSiro]

You are charming. It was a great and thorough review! The shape of the bag is great! And black is a classic. Thanks for sharing all the details!

[@ElizabethDavisVlogs]

That is an amazing bag. Ive never heard of it till just now! This is so informing and I low key kinda want it, even though I’d have to save for a bit of time!! Haha its so so gorgeous!! Good to know that isn’t super light and its very structured. Most people don’t talk about those details of a bag, its all about how cute something is usually haha. Thanks for sharing all the details!

[@SandraSkaar]

It's definitely a lot of money for a handbag, but I feel so many pricey items are reeeaaaally not worth the price so I'm always happy when one actually is (like this one) 😁 Thank you so much for watching! 💖

[@cinyunglove351]

Hello beautiful Ruvi.. your antigona looks like new bag. very smooth. i thought it's a light weight bag.. hehheheh.. wow.. it's not easy got scratched? awesome.. thanks for sharing Dear..

[@Kadelle]

my face when you held up the bag for the first time: 😮😮 ok i am NOT just saying this to suck up! I actually LIKE the black shiny antigona!! this is not a h&m bag at all 😂 i think i must have legit only seen the matte ones so far. The sheen gives it so much edge!! is Ruvi truly converting me?! 😱😱 and can I just say WOW you look stunning! Which is nothing new of course, but I looove that turtle neck and your hairstyle! 💖💖 and I used to have a bag hook like yours! I should buy one again cos they're sososo convenient! xx

[@TiannaOuellette]

Such a stunning bag! I love how you did a year follow up on it!

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you! 💖

[@renayrodriguez7660]

Ur turtle neck is everything!’😻 omg ur so close to 1K!’ U go girl!’🥰 u can do this!!!

[@SandraSkaar]

Aww girl, thank you so much, the support is so real 💖🥰 And the turtle neck is from H&M - I think it was 19.99! 😁

[@debutawn]

You were so nice to comment on one of my videos and I wanted to come and show my support I subscribed! ❤️🥰 Wow that Givenchy Black bag is absolutely gorgeous! Being heavy is a deal breaker for me. And it is very stiff :/ Thank you so much for taking time to do the review very thoroughly .

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! And yeah, definitely sounds like this bag isn't for you - it's not for everyone. So happy you enjoyed the review 💖

[@raquellereyes-trejo]

You are so pretty and I love your earrings. I really enjoyed this video. Awesome review! I love how you did it after one year passed because it shows the durability of the bag because many bags became significantly worse within a year. I also love how thorough this review was (the quality of the zipper, the durability, etc) are all key when it comes to knowing what bag to get. Great job! Keep up the good work!

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you so much for the kind words, you're so sweet! And I agree, I find reviews that come after a decent amount of time has passed to be a lot more useful. xoxo

[@fabulousirene]

Awesome review. Beautiful bag. Absolutely agree with you, only buy it when it is on sale. I bought my mini one at half price. Thank You so much for sharing darling ❤️

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you so much, Irene! I looooove your antigona as well, the colour of yours is so stunning. Thank you for watching💖🥰

[@everythingproof]

Very beautiful bag. Would love the the sugared leather

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you, beautiful! 💖 I hope you get it one day xoxo

[@MaxItUpwithMarta]

Hi RuviRiot, when I first came upon your channel, I thought it was a commercial because of the super high quality of your videos and your perfect look and style. wow, amazing. I love the shiny leather. It is worth enjoying it. your sister is lucky! the bag looks brand new.I just subscribed.

[@simplysilent2980]

Love your bag! Very helpful video. Excellent review. Thanks for sharing. You look stunning as always.

This review was super helpful, I just received my bag today so now I know what things to look out for!!

[@lifeofgwenncee3077]

Love love this review, sooo helpful. And you focus on all the important points.... Which is👌..... And yes people using public transport wouldnt care less if they scratch your bag.. But i think a girl needs a big bag here and there.. Its very handy...

[@CaitlinH88]

Love your accent! And your background is background GOALS! Such a thorough review! Love it! ♥️

[@CaitlinH88]

Also a 1 year review is seriously good content. That's the kind of in depth review I'm here for! 😄🙌🏻

[@SandraSkaar]

Haha thank you so much girl, that's such a lovely comment! 😁💖 I feel like we click when it comes to aesthetic and pretty things 😁👌

[@AlyssaPope0429]

Hi love! I'm here from your comment on my channel to share the love! I really appreciate this video especially since it was on a luxury item. This really helps when preparing to make a purchase that hefty. I think that is a beautiful bag!! I subscribed to you as well and I look forward to more of your videos - you may make me save my money for a luxury item! xx

[@Miralovesfashion]

I love this bag. I have it in sugar leather and no issues with the leather as well. 😘😘

[@SandraSkaar]

Yay - almost bag twins 😁 What color do you have?

[@Miralovesfashion]

I have a very deep navy blue with silver hardware. It passes as black at night lol 😘

[@SandraSkaar]

@@Miralovesfashion Ahhh I bet it looks gorgeous 😍💖

[@snow77707]

Good review Luv this bag I have it in the oxblood color grained leather. I do wish the opening was bigger. TFS

[@kklvoescc]

I love this bag! I have it in the sugar leather and just love it to death. However I have the older version with the shorter non-detachable strap and considering selling to get the one with longer detachable one.🤔 It is so classic and timeless and the size is so perfect. Great review! So happy you found my channel so I could find yours! Just subbed!! ❤️😘🥰

[@amyslifestyle08]

oh my girl i like your make up in this video and the earring so gorgeous. anyway this antigona bag is my wishlist for so long . and i agree i will buy for preloved market. thanks for the review

[@CarissaBurnside]

I totally appreciate a one year review vs the standard unboxing. It's such an investment so it's nice to hear how it'll wear! The bag liner is genius. You're sooo gorgeous babe! Your video quality is insane as well! Looking forward to being KZbin friends; just subbed!

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the sweet comment! And I agree, these bags better last for the price the demand! Yayyy so happy to have you as a KZbin friend! 💖

[@alessandracalzoni8340]

Hello! thanks for the video it's very useful to me! Do you think the bag is as heavy as the celine luggage tote? i want to sell my celine and get the antigona

[@SandraSkaar]

Hi lovely, thank you, I'm so happy you found it useful. I'm so sorry, though, I don't have the Celine luggage tote, so I can't say if it's as heavy, but I see a lot of people agree that the Antigona is a heavy bag (depending on the size, I think the medium is considered quite heavy and bulky). It would of course be the most fool proof to try it on to see! Hope you figure it out ☺️💖

[@ReneeSLiu]

Beautiful work bag! Totally agreed with you. Buying it on sale is a great idea! Great review, loved this video, thanks for sharing!! xx

Does look like a really nice high quality bag ngl! I don't buy stuff made from leather though, usually get fake leather, but looks like it'll last a long time! Great review!

[@anubhahota7981]

what colour did you purchase the bag organiser in? best idea ever!

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you! ❤️ I am pretty sure the color was called sandstone 😁💕

[@Jxboo]

Thank you for being so thorough! I’m really debating between gold or silver hardware, do you have any tips?

[@SandraSkaar]

Thank you for watching! I normally prefer gold hardware on my handbags, but with the Antigona I feel like the silver is just a perfect combination for the more oversized and masculine hardware on this, it's goes so well with the sleek and classic design. 💖

Is it kind of heavy?

[@SandraSkaar]

Yes! If you are used to light bags, this will feel relatively heavy. I have worn heavier bags since forever so I'm okay with it, but I would not recommend it to anyone who has light weight bags a priority 🤗

Even if it is expensive, it is an object of use. You should just put your bags in the closet and not use them
