Default BV Veneta in Grey or Chloe Phython Paraty in Rust?
Hello: I have a dilemma. I can't decide whether to purchase the BV Veneta in Grey (the new color from Cruise 2010) or the Rust Phython Chloe paraty. I realize these are two very different bags but I don't own either a BV or a Chloe and I love both. I have many bags--both shoulder and handbags. It's just another addition to my collection. Also, I don't want to get another "trend" bag either and am afraid the chloe paraty is just a trend bag. thanks for your input.

A grey BV Veneta will never be called a trend bag. It is a bag that is ageless...one you can wear until you become too old and weak to lift it.

BV isn't really into trends although their bags always look current as well as timeless. A Veneta will look in style 20 years from now and is THE most comfortable bag you will ever put on your shoulder.

Of course we are a wee bit biased here lol.

I disagreed in the Chloe subforum... I love BV but my heart belongs to Chloe. I cant help it. It is sort of a supernatural phenomenon....

I'm glad you got both. As you said, they're very different bags. Congrats!
