Givenchy exotic small Antigona to buy or not to?

Unfortunately, I cannot give you any care advice on snakeskin. I have heard of scales flaking off but I don't know if that eventually happens to all snakeskin products. I would advise you consult online and with an exotic leather specialist. I have read that exotic skins require special care which is different from the typical leathers. Sorry I cannot be of more help.
Hey hrhsunshine! I posted above about my keeping this bag without wearing it out for a month now. Curious if you have an OPI. Thank you!:balloon:
 
Hi again. I've owned this bag for a month now and haven't taken it out once! I still don't want to part with it for a couple of reasons. I got a great deal and it's so unique to me. Sometimes I think I would prefer an antigona in black or another neutral tone. But then again, I love dressing more edgy and think this is a really cool style. What's a girl to do?

I sometimes find I'm afraid to take out a new purchase, but once I do, I can't stop wearing it. So maybe force yourself to take it out and see how it feels? :biggrin:

I agree with PurseACold. If you truly do love a bag but something keeps you from taking it out, just bite the bullet. Take it out and use it for about a week, non-stop. I have had bags that I really LOVE but perhaps was worried of messing it up or just wanted to covet. Well, at this pricepoint, there is no point in coveting. You gotta use it or lose it. After a week, I bonded :biggrin: and felt more comfortable using the bag. Sometimes we just love a piece so much, we put it on a pedestal and forget that this beautiful bag is meant to be used. I used to do this ALL the time. Not so much anymore. I love my bags but I know they were made to be carried and enjoyed. Believe me, I still have to fight the urge to just covet. Give it a whirl! Your bag feels much better when you carry her than leaving her in your closet. :graucho:
