Would I be nuts to get a white BV woven bag? I just think it would look so crisp and white in the summer. But is it a waste?

Does anyone here have a white BV? How do they hold up?

Any thoughts ladies?

I'm kind of afraid of white bags in general since you can get them dirty easily(i.e. pen marks). The white BV woven bags do look tempting though!

I love the look, but for myself it would be a lost cause. I'm a stain magnet. They always look so nice on others, though. Even more than the white, I love the cream color, whatever BV calls it.

The ones I have seen on ebay always look yellowish with the description saying it has yellowed over time/use.

Not sure if that could be prevented if sprayed with protectant.

Okay - I guess i'll just wait for a noche or a ebano.

I waited and waited for a white woven BV bag to come into my local store and finally (actually with the help of another wonderful PFer) I had the last one sent in for me. It was gorgeous.

Once I actually had it, I couldn't wear it! It was too white, too delicate- I was afraid to put it down or brush it against my clothes, or just plain use it! I stared and admired it

,and in the end, bravely returned it. For me, it wasn't practical at all.

Now, I did recently purchase another white bag-(I was determined to have one this summer), and I purchased a Tods Miky Easy Media Handbag. I love it, and the leather is much tougher. I've been using it a lot lately.

I wouldn't get an expensive white bag, just a cheaper one that I could wear worry-free.

There's a white and an off white veneta on BlueFly! Go grab em girls! =)

Humm - an eggshell? Where?

I have a white BV wallet and it holds pretty well.

i was tempted to buy the large veneta in white but i settled for the off-white one since it is not as noticeable if u get it dirty...yesterday i actually got makeup on it but the coach leather cleaner took it right off. the advantage of the off-white is it is more an all-seasons color.

beauxgoris · Apr 20th, 2007, 10:37 PM

^^Hummm - off white...??
How long have you had yours I-bags? How has it held up?

blugenie · Apr 21st, 2007, 01:25 PM

beaux did you see this veneta? (ivory/eggshell with white patent trim).

IMO this shade would wear really well and the patent edging would fend off dirt vs the braided edge. And the smaller size looks delicate and wouldn't hit as many counters when you shop! LOL
