The Veneta is one of my favorite bags to use. It sits so well on the shoulder, the medium fits just the right amount of stuff and somehow everything seems to be on top when you need it. But I do admit it is on the boring side, that’s why I have it in purple to give it some pop. I known the chocolate brown is the most classic but how classic must you go? You know what they say about too much of a good thing and when it comes to being timeless and “classic” too much just means too boring. That’s why I love this straw effects version with varying (visual) texture and tones. You also get the main advantage of the classic brown, versatility. Wear this all season long no matter what you have on. Put it away for the fall and winter though, but you will have an everlasting summer bag that I promise you will always be in love with. At Barneys New York for $2250.
