Please help me decide... Givenchy Antigona or Balenciaga Classic City?

I have both and I would recommend both because they're such different bags but I know some people probably can't get both, but I honestly can't pick one good one because they're both such beautiful bags.

Both are made so well but the Bal's definitely stand out. I'm 5'3 and I have a small antigona and it's a perfect size for me but a medium would be better for you. Bal's are lighter and more casual and I guess not as much maintenance as the antigona. If you have a lot to carry during the day or whatever, the antigona would be good but if you want something that stands out that you can wear both in the day and night, the Bal City is beautiful

Did you manage to purchase one already? I would go for the Antigona. As you will realize upon reading this, I am hooked on it. Presently, I own 3 antigonas already. 1 is being delivered from Selfridges as we speak. I saw this medium white antigona on the Keeping up with the Kardashians show and I was hooked! My first one which I bought early 2014 was a black Shiny Lord (GHW) at Barney's and pre-loved hazel colored one (SHW) from Fashionphile. All were medium as the small was too small for me. I also use it to the office and stick folders and magazines into it so medium is the way to go for me although I am just a measly 5 flat. It is heavy, especially if you have a lot of stuff in there as I have and at times it gets to be a chore lugging it around when one walks or shops for 2 or more hours but then the bag is wow so I bear with it. I bought the second one at F because I was hesitant to buy the same style bag albeit a different color considering I already had a black one but the 3 month layaway got to me. ^_^ Now I am on pins and needles (yes I don't know why) but I can't wait for the taupe to arrive. Maybe the antigona just has that effect on people. ^_^
