I've come to the decision that it's time to add a new bag to my collection. Question is - which one? I'm terrible at making decisions!
I've loved both of these bags for a while now and I'd love to hear your opinions.

Givenchy Antigona in black

Already in my small collection:
Balenciaga City RH black - my absolute favorite, I've carried it every day for years which is why I might need something to switch it up a bit
Balenciaga City RGHW black - also worn to death
Balenciaga City Small in a dark brown color
Chanel Boy WOC
Prada Saffiano Argilla - gorgeous, but never wear it because of the lack of shoulder strap and I'm not into the showy logo anymore. (Givenchy would probably bother me a bit less because it's lesser known, but one of the reasons I love Bal so much is because it doesn't have a logo.)
 
Well I don't have either so can't speak to functionality or wearing them, but it sounds like you have two black bags you already love (including your favourite!), so my inclination is to encourage you to venture towards the Celine, where it won't be competing with your favourite black bag.

Also because colourwise it seems like it could replace the Prada you don't wear (as unlike the Prada, it does have a shoulder strap and does not have the logo emblazoned on the front). I also like that with the Celine you can wear with the wings out or in, giving it two very different looks (I prefer wings in, but I know this is not exactly what the Celine Trapeze is all about!)

If you think you have room for another black bag though, then go for the Givenchy. At least for me, I tend to prefer that type of shape/style bag over the shape/style of the Celine.

If I were you I'd also send the Prada onto a new home where it will be loved, logo and all :smile:

I say Antigona! From personal experience, very well made and structured. I have seen a few Trapeze bag that will lose its shape with « floppy » wings which does not look too too great. I love the neutral color though!
