Ohhhh! Are you getting the same one? The oxblood?Thank you! About to pick it up in box myself.
Yes the oxblood in box calfskin.
I’ve been waiting a long time for a color I liked!I do a tremendous amount of research on a bag before I buy it and the Antigona was the one that took me the longest to pick the color! It wasn't until my sister showed me the Oxblood and I fell head over heels and knew she was the one. You'll have to take pictures of it when you receive it!Yes the oxblood in box calfskin.
How long have you had it? I am a bit worried if the leather is peeling with normal use... I have wanted this bag for 5+ years waiting for the right discount. Finally got a good one on it but it's the small and not the medium (I just couldn't decide between the 2 sizes - medium looks better on me but small is more practical) in black grained leather but I don't want it to peel !!!
Also for those who have the medium, does it fit in the seat under you in planes? I initially wanted it as a travel bag to give some rest to my Longchamp... So needed to fit laptop, scarf, toiletries bag etc and I know the small definitely won't fit a laptop but will fit the rest!
Thank you!
Have to say small is way more practical. I sold my medium, it was huge (and I'm tall) just don't carry enough. Replaced it with a small and mini they're both perfect sizes.
I had my medium in black grained leather for about 5 years and used it a lot, no peeling or wear visible. Have had the small grained black for 2 years no issues as well.

Thank you so much. I got the small for £1k only between exchange rates & discount code so already super super grateful as I know the usual retailers will increase prices for in the upcoming sale season. I think I am going to wait until it arrives but you definitely re-assured me Jaime, thank you !
I have had mine for maybe five years now? The leather is peeling along the top edge on the back and part of the bottom (I'll try to remember to take pictures this weekend. I am at work right now.). I'm also not one to be bothered by the peeling since I don't baby my bags. I like when they get a little beaten up because it means I wear and use them with love, lol.
I received my small! It fits everything I need but when I carry it handheld, it feels so small/not the right proportion for me. I am going to try the medium again to compare. It didn't look quite right.... I also haven't figured out how to put the straps in so I could use it crossbody. That being said, the back is gorgeous, so so practical and I got it for a steal!
Ever since the tiny bag trend, the med ant has not gotten much love imo. i for one think it's the most grand of all ant sizes. it's more statement and has more "presence", esp carried by the handle when walking into a room. i always got compliments going to the office carrying mine that way...and i'm not even that tall. proportion is important when choosing a bag size. i'm glad you'll be trying the med.
I went to try the medium and it's a no brainer. I returned the small and got the medium and I am super happy I did. I just can't do "small" bags except when it's to be on the go/going day to night (I only have 2 cross3 and 2 Fendi WOC as "small" bags), everything else I own need to be a certain size otherwise it just doesn't work.
I will save myself the headache when getting the Belt bag. Everyone said the micro hold it shape better and was more practical but again on me, it just doesn't work so mini it will be!

glad to hear the med worked out. i do want to say that belt bags are my saving grace during crazy times in nyc so i recommend trying other designers out bc it's such a practical style. doesn't have to be luxury. on subways, i'm usually wearing my men's fabric belt bag and i love that i can wear it multiple ways.
Does anyone have the Antigona and/or the Antigona lock?
i'd love to hear experiences with the Antigona lock - the main differences are the magnetic closure (lack of zip) and the shorter top handles on the Antigona lock. How does it compare to the Antigona?

I had return regret (is that a thing?) and in the end went back for the small. I got lucky I got it even cheaper than the 1st time (30% off on MF instead of the initially 25% off).
I have resigned myself to the fact that I will own 2 Antigona: the small is super practical & lighter for day to day while still fitting tons (full size bottle of water, my tablet etc) and the medium for work & travel at a later stage (and looks better on le but can't see myself using it super regularly. Thinking of using it in rotation with my Longchamp le pliage néo)
Ooh I meant the Celine Belt bag. A typical belt bag does not hold enough for me unfortunately
No experience with the lock unfortunately and I never saw it IRL!
