I saw a woman carrying the most beautiful nero large veneta a week ago in San Francisco. It draped so beautifully I couldn't help myself and just kept staring at it.

Last night at NYE dinner, one of the women in our group was carrying the most gorgeous vintage red satin woven BV heart clutch, fairly large. She had bought it some years ago and it was quite stunning!

My favorite BV sighting - this past October on Via Monte Napoleon in Milan, the day after I bought my nero Cabat I saw a lovely, very chic italian woman with the exact same Cabat! It was (is) beautiful!

oh, this is so fun. i totally oogled a beautifully draped slone yesterday evening in great world city, singapore. the colour looked like a very well loved blonde.

Novena Square Singapore - sighted an OP Cabat and instantly became a drool factory. Couldn't take my eyes off it!

and i spotted a large ebano veneta again last evening in the subway on the west bound train, singapore. she was hugging it like a precious baby in the packed train, which made me smile! it used to be quite rare (weeks at a time) for me to spot a bv in singapore among the multitude of lvs, guccis and coaches, but now i'm spotting one every other day. looks like the brand has really taken off here.

Oh yes, these days I see at least one everyday. There are a couple in my work place and quite a number around my office area. And in Orchard Road (5th Avenue equivalent in Singapore), it's quite the BV abudance! Spotted quite a few too at my fav shoe boutique On Pedder. In fact my SA there is quite the BV fan too!

How exciting to have daily BV sightings! I probably would not be paying attention to where I'm going to get a good look at them all.

Hmm..I haven seen 1 yet...geez! Am I like being in the wrong part of Singapore?

In a queue in Mcdonalds - A lady behind me carrying a medium nero veneta
BV store in Taka - A lady carrying a large oceano veneta
Great World City carpark - A lady with a nero montaigne (got me really excited)

I forgot! Last Saturday there was a woman at Valley Fair mall in San Jose CA with a large nero campana. I walked faster so I could get a better look and my friend said "don't you dare go up there and talk to her! people will think you're weird!"

heiheij · Mar 9th, 2008, 05:00 PM

What: Large Cabat in Ebano
Who: Anime looking Korean male, probably an international student
Where: Toronto, inside Shoppers at Yonge and College
When: Today around 3pm
Comment: WOW! the bag was breathtaking! and he looked so chic! I rarely see anyone here with BV.

mundodabolsa · Mar 9th, 2008, 11:29 PM

The other day I saw a beautiful Asian girl with an ebano veneta (large I think...) at the corner of Quincy and Broadway in Cambridge, on the Harvard campus. I nearly crashed my car to stare at her

Sum · Mar 10th, 2008, 07:04 AM

What: nero matte & shine bag
When: lunchtime today
Where: Chelsea bistro at Serendra, Makati
Who: lady in her 60's or 70's having lunch with family

It's the first time i've seen the matte & shine bag IRL. The younger ladies at the table were carrying gucci and LV, but my eyes were on the older woman's BV.

BookerMoose · Mar 15th, 2008, 10:45 PM

Hey, I just noticed this thread got a sticky - cool! Of course I rarely see any BVs here, but I look forward to living vicariously through the rest of you!
