RugbyWife,
It looks like she has the medium black calfskin. It will be more slouchy like hers since it uses softer leather. Enjoy your bag!!! :-)

I'm sure the other leathers that are not calfskin will be more scratch resistant. I hope I helped!!
Thanks for your help! I would think lambskin would be more delicate than calfskin, but it's great to know that the shiny black leather is tough. Is that the same one Ashley Greene has?

Thanks so much! I've never been interested in a Givenchy bag before this one. It's gorgeous! Congrats on yours, btw. I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of it!

I think I'm going to have to try them out at the store first before buying.

Congrats RubyWife! Where did you order from?

Tammyjam - Does the bag come with a card or anything that tells you what kind of leather the bag is made out of?

Unfortunately it does not come with card that tells you which leather it's made out of :-( but mine came with like a little square leather sample of the leather ur bag is made out of inside zip pocket. It still doesn't say what leather it is though

My sister just came back from Barney's and told me the Antigonas were on sale for 40% off and were flying off the shelves...I'm so mad I paid full price for it!!! I hate it when they do that lol ugh. So I guess if you girls want one, go to the Barney's store NOW!

Argh! I wish I lived near a Barneys. I'd really love to see it IRL before I bite the bullet.

Your bag is beautiful...it may have already been sold out before the sale began.

Do you know what colors they had? Did your sister see any black ones??

Since there's no tag or anything that states what kind of leather the bag is made out of, how do you know what your bag is made out of? Are all Antigona's made out of the same leather??

All Antigonas are not made of same leather. A lot of them use calfskin but there's a grainy leather textures one, croc patterned one, suede one, shiny leather. You'll have to ask the sales associate to find out exactly what leather they are made of, they should know

My sister saw a few Antigonas left, while she was there she saw a women snatch up same one I have (medium shiny black) so only the large size one was left. My sisters friend picked up a nightingale for $1000

Question: can you wear the Antigona as a crossbody? I was looking at Cameron Diaz's suede one and the strap looks like it is long enough. TIA!

No it can't be worn as cross body only on shoulder, it's really short and it's not adjustable. Maybe she bought longer strap for it?
