Today Vlad and I strolled the streets of SoHo. Seriously, if you have never been to SoHo put it on your to-do list. Many people have a misconception that the rich and famous shop on 5th Ave, when really SoHo is where it is at. Since Vlad and I have been spend happy, today we just browsed and enjoyed an amazing lunch. The street fashion there is very chic and laid-back. At that moment I realized I desperately need an across the body bag. I am not fully sure what bag will be the 'one' but I am determined to find a messenger that reflects my desire to be stylish and laid back all at once. I stumbled across the Bottega Veneta Woven Messenger Bag because of its signature woven leather along with its removable and adjustable shoulder strap. If you have touched a BV bag, you are well aware of the supple leather used. Nickel hardware is used to offset the leather and there is an inside zip pocket and canvas lining. This bag is a square shape, measuring 13"H X 13"L X 2"W. While I think I am more in the search for a rectangular bag, I will keep this beautiful BV number in the back of my mind. Available through Saks for $1350.

Nice bag, a messenger bottega veneta seems like an interesting cross between chic and laid back...

And I agree that finding the perfect stylish messenger bag is not an easy task - I have been looking for a while and still not found the one, since they all seem to be either very boring & formal or way to casual for work.

I wish all balenciaga bags had longer straps! (Or, better yet, the option of adding a longer strap)

Bottega is really to die for.... love every bag, its just that too expensive to collect

I really like this one- but then again, I love BV bags!! Love the weave; great rich color. I want to go shopping in SoHo- Megs, you lucky girl!

I love BV! I want to get the regular woven tote sometime in the future. It looks great as a messenger bag.
