Givenchy celebrates 10th anniversary of Antigona bag with new interpretation

Back in Fall 2010, Givenchy unveiled a new addition to its leather-goods collection: the Antigona bag, which soon became a classic of the Maison. Its precise, structured lines were an original take on a modern, timeless aesthetic.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this icon, Maison Givenchy is revealing a new interpretation: the Antigona Soft. It naturally reprises the shape of its elder sister, this time in supple leather. This new fluidity and sensuality break with the strict curves of the original, lending the Antigona Soft a more relaxed air. This subtle slouchiness contrasts volume with purity of line. Wide, enveloping handles allow the Antigona Soft to move seamlessly from day bag to weekender.

The anniversary of the Antigona is being marked, in the windows of Givenchy’s Paris boutiques, by a neon installation inspired by the bag’s iconic lines, which bridges the gap between the original design and its new, supple variation. These two visions of the same idea of leather goods reflect the creative freedom advocated by the couture house.
