(Wolf whistle)– Hellloooo, beauty! Trust Bottega Veneta to make my heart flutter time and again– the Noce Ostrich trimmed in crocodile is a tear inducing work of perfection… I am seriously in lust! Less is really more when it comes to Bottega! No fancy hardware or frills, just clean lines and the best quality skin an animal can offer. Animal activists will crucify me for saying this but I can not help my love of soft skins, especially if it is exotic. If it’s any consolation, most animals used are farmed providing an entire industry which stimulates the local economy not to mention the food they provide. (okay, I am stretching here– I do feel a bit guilty at times.) But back to the utterly supple and gorgeous Noce bag, it is the perfect shade of luggage brown in ostrich with just a touch of attitude from the chocolate crocodile trim. Notice how the subtle little crocodile buttons clasp the straps to the bag, is that not just divine? Exposed zippers on bags usually dangle at the ends and look sloppy, see how they’ve attached it to side straps, talk about form and function. God, I love this bag! I feel like a dirty old man staring at a luscious hot chick, I want I want I want! This is all I need for Fall, really, I won’t buy the other 25 bags I swore I had to have. This is it. I will treat myself for my birthday coming up next month if no one else will buy it for me. $5700 at Bottega Veneta boutiques. Call Jasenka for more details 214-265-0136.
