Bottega Veneta Ruched Shoulder Bag

Bottega Veneta Ruched Shoulder Bag

Today is a very late start after a morning filled with appointments. I went on my way to the appointments and everything was the exact same as usual, except one added little touch. Only valet parking at the Doctor's office. It seems like a simple difference, well because it is, but it added that slight bit of extra luxury. Parking at this one Doctor's office was like finding a specific shell in the ocean. Spaces were limited and beyond small and everyone was hunting people down in the lot. Believe it or not there is literally no where else to park. Nada, zip, zilch. So this added perk really made my day. And this is the precise thing Bottega Veneta has done with their Bottega Veneta Ruched Shoulder Bag which is updated with a slightly gathered middle. Everything else is the exact same as the iconic Bottega Veneta Veneta Bag; simple design, classic shape, buttery soft leather. But the middle ruching adds the perfect pizazz. There is something about this added dimension, on top of the woven leather, that really makes the bag stand out. The midnight blue leather is a stunning option for fall and winter, but easily works for summer (think of it like blue jeans, seasonless for the most part). The inside is lined with taupe suede and there is a zip top. Simple and elegant, just like Bottega Veneta likes it! Buy through Net A Porter for $1,950.

I love BV but for some reason I don't like the symmetry of the ruching. Maybe if it was just one subtle twist in the center or something like that I'd like it more.

I like it, but I don't think I would pay that much for it!

I like it, but I think I like the original better.

I love everyhting from Bottega Veneta, but I prefer the original hobo...I have one in black. These bags make a statement without the ruching I think.

I like it but can't tell if it is small or not. Like larger bags.

I usually love BV, but not this is one; I have to agree with the others who prefer the original.

I think this is wonderful!

Oh my gosh, how gorgeous!!! I love this as well as the original hobo style...my grandmother would be so happy...she only carried BV bags....

Love it!!

I love the colour, I think it's called marine and there is also the same same bag in turbulence which is a dark purple. I love both colours but don't like the ruching either! I hope the colours come in the regular venetas as well!!

I love the ruching. I'm weird and don't love the original Veneta, a little too plain and casual for me, so I love this version. I think it's very feminine and pretty, and highlights the lushness of the leather. I'm seriously fighting temptation on this, and have a feeling I'm going to cave and get it...

I could see myself wearing this bag a lot! I especially like bags with nice suede lining so that is an added bonus for me.
