You may have heard about my dilemma a few years ago. When I bought replica Givenchy belts the medium sized Givenchy Antigona in baby pink and it spotted blue when rain drops fell onto the surface. To this day I still do not have an explanation for what on earth was causing the discolouration. But rest assured, I literally ran back to Selfridges, a horrified look on my face and part screamed/part sobbed “Look at my Bag!?!”
Since then, I did not venture back to Givenchy to buy another. After all of the excitement of purchasing my first bag, and the disappointment to have to hand it back, but then that wonderful feeling when the £1800 Perfect Givenchy Handbags was back in my bank account, I shied away. This year, I have expanded my accessories wardrobe massively, investing in bags that I can hand down to my daughter when she too forms my fascination with luxury handbags. And each time, I thought about the Antigona and decided to try something else. Until the day I saw it came in a deep blue, navy shade and I realised a blue bag was something my wardrobe was missing. You know what us girls can be like. Any excuse!
So I bought it. The Black Friday sales certainly helped, but even without the discount, this bag was a bag I knew I would love to pieces.
