I like that people get Antony in more than one colour. If push came to shove and you could only have one, would you keep the larger or the smaller one?

Louieju, I think someone would have to have a gun to my head to force that choice! But I suppose I would unhappily take the larger one, because I can carry less if I want., so that gives me more flexibility But of the two, I think the small one is prettier. They really are two completely different bags in character.
As mine are both preloved, I did pay less than the price of a small one for both
. The small one looks almost brand new. The large one has that wonderful patina NVT oak gets with use. I'm not sure which look I like better either.

I've got both as I loved the small so much I thought a bigger in black (small is chocolate) would make perfect sense and for me it does.ive never regretted buying either. It really depends what you want her to do for you. My smaller one is such a little tardis, I seem to get so much in her.... I've owned her a long while as I bought her in a sale when no one seemed to like them shortly after they first appeared. Mine has no serial number on her or made in tag!! I can't believe how much they cost new now... Get a pre-loved at a sensible price. If you hunt about, it can get them at a really good price.
I would second the "see and try" if you can - I have learned so many times that a bag that looks great on others doesn't suit me....
....and this is the case with Ant - whilst the canvas strap is wide and therefore comfortable, for me it's a case of "too much strap for too little bag". Also consider which side you carry your bag and where the adjuster / slider will sit if you have it cross-body!

I bought mine about (my memory's rubbish so someone can jump in here at any time and assist with dating my old beauty) but I'd say 2006 as I seem to remember the phoebe and Roxane weren't out then but came in shortly after the sale when I bought her new for £109 with my loyalty discount.... I was buzzing that day. Xx
Indeed, ironically it had been kicking around for a while and I think the SA was bored so when I asked what was left in the sale her heart must have skipped a beat as I like a sale bargain.... But that was just mental.... She'd got her down and wrapped before I could say no really.... So I just bought her.
needless to say I get very little in the sale now... 
I have another Antony related question
Do Antony users have the same bag in different colours , like an oak and a chocolate one and if yes do they get wear out of both of them or do they tend to stick to using just one of them ?
What I'm really asking is ' Do you need more than one Antony? '

+1 I could never get at anything in the bottom. I sold mine very quickly................ as soon as someone mentioned they were well known as "the bus conductor" it seemed very apt and hated the look of it. It also says its unisex, maybe they look better on the boys
No offence Antony fans, it just comes down to personal preference, I know a lot of ladies love them..
They are mentioned a lot in the "which Mulberries do you hate and why" topic. :giggles:
I have oak & choc and use them equally & couldn't bear to part with either of them!
I have small Oak and large black pebbled and use them both equally too - it still surprises me how much I love them each time I take them out of the dustbag (little bit sad?!
) I find with Mulberry that if I love a bag then I tend to get the same style in different colours!
