New Bag | Small Givenchy Antigona

For the longest time, I've wanted to treat myself to a designer handbag. I already have a Louis Vuitton that my dad kindly bought me as a gift but I've never ever bought myself anything I'd consider an investment piece. I'd been saving up for quite some time and was constantly browsing Selfridges website looking at all the beautiful bags they had on offer. I fell in love with a number of YSL and Chloe bags but for me, the Givenchy Antigona was always the one I came back to and the one I thought I'd get the most use out of.

It's a classic bag, the kind that will never go out of fashion and if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a bag, that's exactly what I want it to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely in love with the Chloe Faye bags but they are a very seasonal item and a bag of the moment - I'm not so sure they'll still be as popular this time next year which was something that worried me when making my decision. As much as I'd love one, I don't want something that will go 'out of fashion' in a few months time - definitely not ideal!

The Givenchy bag is everything I dreamed of and more - it's amazing quality, it feels lovely to hold and the size is perfect too. I've only used it a couple of times since I bought it but it's not a bag I'd used every day. When something costs a lot of money, I'd much rather use it for weekends and evenings out rather than every day. Some of you may think that's a waste but for me, I'd rather cherish it for days/evenings out when I want to feel a bit more glam.

I must admit, on the few occasions Ive used this bag since buying it, I've felt very sophisticated. If you asked me a few years ago if I'd be a fan of deisnger handbags I'd probably have said they're not worth the money but since getting my Givenchy, I can totally see the appeal.

I'm absolutely in love with my new bag and I hope you guys like it too!! What's your dream designer bag?! Chanel, Chloe and YSL are next on my list!!
