Antigona alternative?

[Antigonaluv]

Not looking for a knockoff, but something of a similar look. I have a hard time imagining spending 2k on a bag because I am trying to be financially responsible (to my unique financial situation, not claiming you're irresponsible if you buy designer) but i love the Antigona. All my bags are Tory Burch and Rebecca Minkoff. I was thinking of branching into the $1100 range.

What about pre loved? You dont have to pay retail, and many times you can get like new or gently used for a great price on the ant. Otherwise, this is the best time to stalk one on sale too.

Another option is to try before buying, maybe renttherunway has one and you can see if it suits you before saving for next sale if you dont see any right now.

Antigona's do go on sale, around the holiday/black Friday and spring/summer.

I think I prefer to buy new, but I didn't realize they had sales.

Use google or one of those specialized search engines and it'll come up with your specs, eg medium black antigona. Watch YT for tips on how to never pay retail for luxury goods.

I got my Antigona (Small, Oil Slick), on sale for $1200 - down from $2450, on sale in December. You can find some new, genuine ones at great prices.

I would definitely pay that much. Best I've seen is 1500.

I like those bags but the opening looks narrow.

I recommend the Marc Jacobs Incognito. A couple different sizes, several colors, excellent quality, similar shape... I have a mini (first link) and love it!

They actually have snaps that tighten the bag to maintain the shape but open so you can get into and out of the bag.

I also vaguely remember seeing coach with a similar bag too.

I've been hunting this bag down, and realize I once owned it a beige/white. This is definitely my style...and q favorite shape
