Bottega Veneta Bags

[bbbochap]

Thanks Kare! You have been great! I guess I just have to find time this few days to pop by the store - the SA said they had pictures of the silver cabat.

Oh then my descriptions won't help much. Nothing is better than seeing the bags (or pictures) for yourself.

Note sure if anyone posted this yet. It's the tailend of a runway review (fr. style.com) of the Spring 06 line. Just thought it captured BV's essence perfectly:

Maier isn't working in a run-of-the-mill ready-to-wear house that needs to shout to be heard. The steep upward trajectory of the company's sales figures is attributable to a new, discreet pattern of buying among women who collect precious things in a personal way—not least because they haven't been part of the brash overexposure of regular runway news-making. The value of Bottega Veneta can only be truly expressed in a close-up, tactile presentation. Can Maier invent a better way to do his work justice?

Got my first BV tonight Don't mind the saddle in the pic, I got them both tonight and was too lazy to take different pics. Does anyone have this bag? Is it good to use? There was a charity auction at the VIP customer appreciation party the designer boutiques were throwing and I just so happened to bid on this. I don't know much about BV bags, but the leather on this one just felt so good, I had to place a bid. How are they durability wise? Thanks in advance!

Noriko,

It's the gala event right? The red dior was on the auction list I was there tonight as well but I didn't bid on anything -- I have too much stuff to begin with! I'm so happy you got the fushcia BV, I have the exact same one (bought it a year ago!).

 

[Noriko]

^^^ooo how has it held up over time? I knew someone else on this board was there too! I have a lot of stuff as well, but with those prices I couldn't resist! And for such a good cause too Which parties were you at?

 

[twigz]

I know, I had to resist myself from purchasing even though it's for a good cause Besides, my family donated to the charities already, so yay!~ But I'm so happy for you though!! You scored two bags and you did it for a good cause!

I was at several parties: Hermes, Fendi, Prada, LV, etc. But I was mostly at those stores bc (a lot of the managers and SA's are people my family and I have known for awhile.) But I was running around like a maniac bc I was short on time (due to all the chatting)

 

[Noriko]

Ooo I was @ some of the same parties lol. hehe yeah we donate to charity too, I was just being totally selfish tonight! I can't say I only bought them to help the hosp

I was thinking of bidding on the Hermes robes, but decided against it, I have no idea wtf I would do with those, and since my X and I broke up I'd have nothing to do with the his version!

[Noriko]

Thanks everyone!

Greendrv, I'm not sure if they are making any other colors, I'm a BV noob but I'm sure they will. I think I've seen this style in other colors. It seems like a great bag, can't wait to start using it
