Hi ladies, i'm currently torn between these 2 bags and have to make decision in 2 days.
the first one is the mini antigona in nude pink, which i've tried in store and was the perfect size for me (i'm in my early 20s and am only 4 feet 9 and very skinny, the baby sac de jour is about the biggest i can afford to carry without the bag looking like it's wearing me,i've attached a pic of me with the baby sdj for reference).


however, i find the antigona to be a bit too mainstream and "safe", and just doesn't seem to have that "wow" factor being such a classic.

the rockstud on the other hand, feels more exciting with the studs and all (i'm kind of into the whole rock n roll thing), however i'm not sure how big/small it is as i've never even seen it in store and not sure if the harrods measurement is accurate.(width=26cm, is that including the wings?).
also i've browsed the valentino thread and just can't seem to find reviews on this bag in small/,mini version.
your opinion would be very much appreciated :smile::heart:

I've tried on the small crossbody rockstud and it is a nice size, smaller than your SDJ but not too small. The spiky messenger strap would drive me crazy but if you like the look go ahead. If you find the Antigona kind of boring now, you are unlikely to love it more after owning it.

If its wow factor you are going for, definitely the rockstud. I have a nude rockstud tote in medium and love it. I checked out the smaller sizes in both the tote and the shopper and they looked like they would hold plenty. FWIW, the studded straps do not bother me. Good luck with your decision!

Hi was the rockstud that you tried on this one? or is it the one with thinner straps?

also were you comparing it to the BABY sdj? because the SMALL SDJ is way wayy too big for me.
i'm kind of looking for a bag that i could wear on my shoulder with the handles (not the strap) but not massive at the same time. and this is why i doubt the mini antigona as it's an awkward shape and definitely too short to be worn alone on the shoulder (i've never been a fan of wearing the long strap)
