Givenchy makes the Antigona, a structured handbag named after Antigone from Greek mythology.
The Antigona became one of Givenchy’s best-known accessories after its introduction in the early 2010s. It is recognized by its trapezoidal shape, short top handles, detachable shoulder strap, and prominent triangular gussets. The name refers to Antigone, the tragic heroine of Sophocles’ ancient Greek play.
The bag is sometimes mistaken for a Celine or Balenciaga design because its clean lines and geometric construction fit the broader trend for structured luxury handbags. Its distinguishing details are the rounded handles, wide opening, and distinctive triangular side panels. Givenchy was founded in Paris in 1952 by designer Hubert de Givenchy.
