I got the chance to visit Givenchy in Saks yesterday and wanted to update you guys!
I'm 5"4 and this is the small on me, measures almost 10" in length! It's pretty similar in size to my Chanel M/L Classic Flap (seen in pic). I tried a "large" as well, but the SA didn't say there was a medium size, so I didn't get to try it. The large was significantly bigger AND heavier because the gussets on the side were A LOT more expanded (the small is like an accordion, but the large is just one big bulky space... see pictures below) while the small size I tried did not have gussets that could expand that much. So, by comparison, the small was a lot more flattering and was not heavy. The large was a LOT thicker than the other two and a lot heavier! Definitely found the large heavy, like I find the Antigona heavy. Size-wise, found the small looked good on my frame but didn't fit as much as I would have liked, but the large was just too big in comparison. Now regretting I didn't take pics for you guys of the large
I will next time I'm there!
This is an image I pulled off of Farfetch, you can see how the large is not like an accordion on the side.
The small (and the medium, though I didnt get to try it), however, looks like this from the side:
The small also looked best on my frame. The large was just too bulky on me. The accordion-style shape of the small is a little bit similar to the chanel reissue in that the bag sits very nice and flush against the body, not too bulky at all, very flattering. Large, however, doesn't sit as nicely against my frame.
I found weights of the bag online. Small: 1.2lb, Medium: 1.6lb, Large: 2.1lb
Bumping this, as I recently discovered this bag and am also wondering about the weight? And I actually thought the large looked enormous and was leaning toward the medium. Bellagarofalo, is your bag heavy? And if you don’t mind, how tall are you and how is the proportion?
So, to answer your question, small is not heavy, quite lightweight, while large was heavy to me. I'm very sensitive to weights, though, so it might work for you. Though I haven't tried the medium, it seems it'd be a good size as well. If you're someone who doesn't find the celine small luggage, chanel jumbo, or givenchy small antigona heavy, then the large wouldn't feel heavy either, since I'd say it feels even lighter than those. I'd say if you're 165 or below and not very curvy physique, small would probably look best proportionally!
