If you don’t care about price or dirt, this would be the most amazing summer bag of all time. A bit of fringe for a laid-back relaxed feel and a whole lotta room so you can be ready for beach, pool, picnic or weekend trip. I love the cabat and have been eying it for years but I always yearn for it to have something more, it just looks too much like a flower basket. Somehow just the bit of frayed trim does it for me! If the white is scaring you, there are 2 things – it comes in black, OR you might find comfort in a detachable interior that’s washable. Well, that second thing does nothing for the dirt that will inevitable appear on the stark pristine white exterior. Still, I am in love. Bergdorf Goodman for $2650.
Uh it’s no for me! BV bags always have to be ultra soft and pristine. I think they are treading rough waters taking too many risks.
I don’t understand the appeal of Bottega Veneta whatsoever. I look at this bag, and I am still perplexed. It looks unfinished and boxy. Bleh.
Have you ever felt the leather BV uses? It’s unreal. Also, the leather looks divine irl.
Girl Math says this bag has to be something you’ll want to use for the next 3 summers to warrant the investment. Problem is that fringe will make you want to leave it in your closet after this year!
You nailed it, Kelly… the perfect summer bag. Pair with white or super faded denim to avoid dye transfer. If only I could find some super faded denim. 🙁
Amen! I have a LARGE cosmetic case I purchased from Saks years ago. It’s phenomenal… As is this bag!
Don’t mind this bag, compared to the usual ho-hum woven sqaure with straps fare that BV sends out season after season. I’m tired of hearing how great the leather is. So you use incredible leather on ho-hum bags, doesn’t make them great bags, hello?
Size is good, and the fringe adds some additional interest, but the color is retarded. It’s not off-white, cream, beige or any of those more practical colors. Oh no, it’s bleach white so call the car service and travel with your Tide sticks…lol.
