I know Matthew Williams is most surely to be a polarizing CD for Givenchy appointment with his hard core urban appeal and love for metal, but nonetheless I am drawn to some of it. I thought, since it’s so very different, why not start a thread just for his new pieces. If nothing else, to feed the intrigue (or not haha). So here goes. New mini Antigona’s in box calf - one vertical with the 3D logo chain & the other with the (very) bold lock. Enjoy!

These look really cool! How does the chain feel? Is it weighty? I always love heavy and chunky hardware!!
Honestly the hardware is perfect. Chunky and good weight but not overly so. Solid, but not a nuisance? I know his stuff is going to be pretty radical and controversial, but at least it's different. I feel like we need something refreshing!
 
I love the detailing in these bags! You’re right, very different and refreshing. The Antigona has been completely revamped but it still retains features that identify it as an Antigona, very cool! Congrats on these purchases! The leather also looks impeccable and overall quality looks great!

Thats great to hear!! I agree with you, refreshing is very much needed, especially during such a crappy time we are stuck in now!

Matthew William’s debut collection of locks for Givenchy are a nod to the Pont des Arts. Love the symbolism of connectednes. A very cool sculptural piece.

I love all the hardware! I think it is the epitome of edgy high fashion.
