I just bought my second Bottega Veneta, the Capri Tote in Ebano. I really love it.

Jburgh was telling me the other day that its the perfect size tote, and she's absolutely right! Here it is with the Deerskin Hobo in Azzardo that I purchased last year.

Congrats!! gorgeous!

jeaniep · Jun 25th, 2008, 11:17 AM

It's a great choice and in such a rich color

leilani01 · Jun 25th, 2008, 11:20 AM

Congratulations! What a great combination of colors....

I do have one question: Is the braided strap on the deerskin hobo comfortable?

alisonanna · Jun 25th, 2008, 11:23 AM

Beautiful! The color is gorgeous!

Cosmopolitan · Jun 25th, 2008, 11:25 AM

Thanks everybody! I'm so happy with the Capri.

I'm carrying it today and it feels so luxurious and decadent. And of course the leather smells fantastic.

Leilani01, the braided strap on the hobo is EXTREMELY comfortable. I highly recommend it.

Cosmopolitan - Thank you for the recommendation! The more I see the hobo, the more I like it....

^They often have those hobos for sale on BlueFly in black, brown, tan, fyi...

Cosmo, I love your tote. I ordered one from BF when they were having a sale but it arrived damaged so I returned it. And to leilani, I have the other bag in noce and yes the braided strap is extremely comfortable and it stays put on your shoulder. I have another BV with a similar strap and it too is equally comfortable and stable.

^Sorry to hear about the Capri mishap, LLANeedle. I saw a black one on BlueFly just last week, so I bet more will pop up.

jburgh · Jun 25th, 2008, 12:23 PM

Cosmo - I'm so glad you love your new bag. I think the shape helps it to be well balanced. I've got to get me Ocano Capri out. Now that azzardo bag, love the color, but you know that.

Thanks jburgh!

Don't you think we need a thread in the ref library for our Capri Totes???

Congrats on your new BV, Cosmo! I love the braided handle too--you wouldn't think it could be as comfortable as it is. I'm waiting for my tote (like yours only in Poudre) to come home from a re-lining.

Oh, I didn't realize that you had a Capri Tote too boxermom. Ya see, we DO need a separate thread in the reference library...
