I have both... a smooth micro Celine and a small shiny smooth Givenchy Antigona. They are used in different occassions but are used when I need a black/gold purse. I use my Antigona when I want to be a little more edgy, the Celine a little more minimalist. I really love the Givenchy Antigona's shape etc plus Givenchys are so well made, but yes, definitely has less resale value. Givenchys are easier to find and definitely cheaper, however, I tend to see less people with the Antigona then the Celine. Maybe it is just me or maybe there are more people with Celine/Celine knockoffs. Also, I feel like since with my Celine I am always trying to be overly careful, that I am going to get a new scratch since it is smooth leather.
