Givenchy’s iconic Antigona structured IT-bag was a wardrobe staple for all the fashion girls, and still maintains its status as a classic. First released in 2011, the Antigona has been reimagined for 2020 and is taking a much softer approach…
Presenting a more supple variation on a house icon, Givenchy’s Antigona, named after a mythological Greek heroine, has been redesigned to accentuate the mood of relaxed elegance that permeates the Fall 2020 ready-to-wear collections by Artistic Director Clare Waight Keller.
The Antigona Soft is made from a smooth calfskin and is likened to the “second-skin sensuality and versatility of a favorite leather coat.” The bag itself is at once feminine and masculine, with a cocoon-like body that nods to Givenchy’s couture heritage of elegant lines and generous volumes. With a slouchy, flowing shape and enveloping straps as inviting as an embrace, it conveys strength and confidence while moving seamlessly from day bag to weekender.
As practical as it is stylish, the Antigona Soft comes in medium and large styles which feature an ample central compartment with dual zip closures, an inner pocket for keeping important cards to hand, side straps with turn-lock fastenings, two top handles and a removable shoulder strap for versatility of wear.
Givenchy’s most coveted bag is available in a variety of tones and finishes including, timeless black, white, pearl gray, aubergine and midnight blue as well as a seasonal palette of candy pink, dune, military green and ice blue. Seasonal variations include styles in dip-dyed leather, vintage leather with hand-placed studs; embroidered, printed stripes; a lustrous gradient gold metallic finish on black leather, and a bag in woven cord and leather.
In stores now, the updated forever bag is most definitely on our lust lists…
