Ms Piggy, thanks for replying. I am very petite (5ft, less than 100lbs), I felt overwhelmed when I tried on some of these bags in stores. After seeing pictures of members here, I thought it was just me at that time. I would like to see a mini version.

I do not think the medium Veneta like mine will overwhelmed you at all. This bag slouches once you have stuff in the bag, thus depressing the size. In my pic, the Veneta isn’t slouching that much as it was only fill with paper stuffing.

Ms P, can your medium Veneta hold all those in yr pics as shown in your "What's in your BV" thread? Can you post a pic to show how well it will hold up? I remembered putting all my stuff in a medium Veneta and the shape didn't hold well. This was the reason why I bought the large (loads of regrets now!).

It fits all of my “What's in your Bottega Veneta” items except for the Gucci cosmetic pouch – which holds almost my entire make-up stuff - too bulky. I will take pic as requested but it might have to be during the weekend. I’ll try to see if I could do so earlier.

ML - I love your black veneta with the fringe details - it's a bit bohemian and a different twist to the veneta. And it looks fabulous on you - no regrets there ! I also wondered if I should have gotten the medium instead but with a little toddler, I think I'd need the extra space at some point !

My dear ladies – def no regrets getting the large Veneta. mlbags, your black perforated one is so unique (have not seen another around) and it does adds a punch to the plain black. I always find that the larger bags show off the intrecciato weave much better – so stunning! In any case, there’s always the excuse/reason to add the next Veneta - in medium and in another colour.
