I see I've done bad research just focusing on the medium, the longer strap on the small or mini would be super useful [emoji3]
I like the nightingale a lot, what makes you grab that one more than the Antigona? If you know[emoji4] The pandora I'm just not drawn to at all, for some reason.
Im not as enamored of the ant compared to the other Givenchy bag styles. Having only 3 in my collection, and all mediums, its just not my first choice for grab and go. Now, if I'm going to an interview or seeing clients, itd be perfect.
Having said that, its been many years since I bought mine, so when the new smalls and minis came out, it was more tempting, but I always found another style that I loved more, eg obsedia tote. I have seen threads where ladies talk abt longer straps on newer models so def try in person if possible.
I know the panda is odd, and it def wasnt love at first sight, but when I caved and tried it on, I fell in love. Maybe it was how well it went with my outfit that day, or I dont have anything like it, or it was just the coolest bag, but I have amassed close to dbl digits. Its the best bag for traveling, hands free so functional and iconic in one.
The gale is by far my first love. I have well over dbl digits in the original model. Both the panda n gale just are lighter, unstructured so its hugs your body, carries so much, and still have mult ways to carry it. I can take 2 empty ones when i travel cuz ut lies flat in luggage and the leathers are so luxe.
Ive gone on enough, but hope this post helps you and others with some insight from a collector of Givenchy bags for almost a decade.
