Bottega Veneta Bags

[iSpot]

I also think for example a Vuitton print is easier to copy than a woven bag and who (like the average woman in the street) wants a fake woven bag with no logos?? I don't think it will become a huge trend and if they're getting copied and sold on the street they will be replaced by another Vuitton print very quickly...

my point is that a well made bag will make you happy -- isn't that all that matters?? I have several and just the smell of them is worth the $$.

you're so right

Hahahah...I definitely agree with you on the smell.
The smell of my bag makes me high sometimes honestly..it smells the best among all my bags.

I think BV empitomizes under-stated chic and it's quality would really be hard to replicate. I have seen other woven leather bags before and they just don't feel (nor smell ) the same.

Actually there are tons of woven leather bags with no logos at Kmart, Targets, Marshall's, Macy's and ...but they are truly hedious so I don't think people will mistake your BV for those...

Oh btw i remember Dooney used to make woven leather bags (I think I saw it in Marie Claire before)..they are quite nice too. If you don't wan to spend $5000 on BV you should see if you can find the DB version

That's the Intrecciato leather bag.

oo.. how do you pronounce that? i saw it was called the grommet veneta bag or something on a magazine then how do you call the traditional one then? the one without the cute little holes....

 

[meowmix]

*dream on (or sell your other bags )*

i love this one so much
the size and shape are perfect, but i'm really not one for open-top totes

I guess the one that you like would be called the intrecciato leather bag with grommets?

While the traditional ones would be termed just the intrecciato.

right. intreciatto ("een-tre-cha-toe") just means "woven."

I randomly came across this auction for a fake leather-like cabat (at least the seller was honest about it). $30 and I must say, it looks pretty good!

I recently bought a fake Bottega Veneta bag off of ebay (unwittingly, since I was unaware that BV fakes existed), but once I got the bag I could tell immediately. The leather quality was a dead giveaway, but even worse was the fake suede lining. Anyway, before you attempt to buy a Bottega Veneta bag off of ebay, it is important to go and see a real BV in person. That way, you will come to know the quality of the leather first hand. Once you feel BV leather in real life, it is hard to be duped by a fake.

P.S. Luckily, I was able to get my money back.
