Bag Lust: The Givenchy Antigona

The days of the "It Bag" may now just be over and yet, there are still some bags that make my heart leap and induce a major case of bag lust. Aside from the Celine Mini Luggage tote, one of the bags on my radar is the Givenchy Antigona.  

I really like it mainly because it's the perfect size, appropriate enough for work and has the right "slouch" that makes it go well even when paired with casual outfits.  I also love the fact that it's quite understated---no screaming logos but just "Givenchy" along the triangular portion on the front of the bag. This is absolutely a keeper bag, and one that will go well with my quality over quantity principle when it come to fashion and shopping.

 It's also released with different materials and colors and can surely fit anyone's preferences---from serious black to bright cobalt blue, or suede, leather, and snakeskin. And there's even a colorblock version too:

Aside from the black one, I like this color too:

Here's a shot of the ever-chic Gywneth Paltrow and Zoe Saldana carrying the Antigona and you'll definitely see how it looks even better when carried:

And for those who'd want something beyond the basic black, another great version of the Antigona is this one with mirrored patent leather.  I personally think that a gold metallic bag is a classic but at the same time, trendy and young enough and it goes well with just about any outfit :)

The Antigona Metallic Gold Small Leather Shoulder Bag is currently available online at  Cruise Fashion. Nicely discounted too! :)

Cruise Fashion also has a great range of other designer brands from the likes of Chloe to Jimmy Choo bags. Check out their bag offerings here.

Cheers!
