Givenchy Antigona Tote – $2,125.00 | TopShop Twist Lock Winged Tote – $84.00
Big thanks to Natalie who introduced me to this TopShop tote — which is almost a mirror image of the Givenchy Antigona bag. I love both bags for fall. They offer functionality with the top handle and the satchel straps, but are classic in their own right.
Speaking of fall bags — I am on the hunt for one like mad! I’m hoping for a “fall” color such as green, burgundy, plum, navy, or metallic. What do you look for in a fall bag?
And as always, what do you think? Splurge or save?
P.S. Help me get to New York Fashion Week! Vote for me and HERE!
I love my leather handbags so this is an amazing post!!!

Ugh Love these both!
oh wao! beautiful save version. The price difference is so much that I don't think I can't decide between either of them.. one would entail me saving for the entire year! and the other one could be purchased in a split second. Maybe save in this case!
I'm searching for a new bag too and cannot make up my mind to save my life! The cognac Robinson from Tory Burch is calling my name. Love that one!

I love the Top Shop one! Definitely save. They are very similar too so you're not really compromising anything!

Thanks for your lovely words on my last post!
I would say save – no matter how pretty the original is, the amount of money is just insane!
Have a great day,

Such a gorg bag. I usually say splurge when it comes to bags. Especially a black one like this that you can use forever!
So is it bad that I like the topshop one better than the designer bag?! I am always drawn to some killer hardware. Great find!

This bag is so similar! Love it. As much as I would love a Givenchy bag, I'm going with Save! I am on the hunt for a fall bag as well, but I have no idea what I am even wanting yet! I will know it when I see it.

I dream of having a Givenchy, but I'd be ok with the Topshop one here. xoox

i am typically one who splurges on bags, because i consider them investment pieces, so i say go with the givenchy!
I've loved this Givenchy bag for a while, so it's so great to see a near copy for so much cheaper! Too bad I'm still too broke for even Topshop 🙁 haha Thanks for sharing this!

The Topshop bag is an amazing find!!
Hannah, I like your blog and loved it on blogionaire.com
I'm on the hunt for a non-black or brown fall bag as well! I'm leaning toward olive green if I can find one 🙂 Also, as much as I'd love to be able to afford a Givenchy bag…it's the Top Shop version all the way for me!
