I rarely step foot in a BV shop cause I think it is way beyond my league, haha.. but surprise, surprise, when asked to accompany a friend, I was very attracted to the leaf print canvas tote from the Cruise 2007 collection.. I think there was only 1 left in the smaller size in HK so I was lucky to snag it after going to the 3rd branch!! And yes, am loving it!!!! Am just worried about caring for the canvas material though.. any tips will help..

I think I will be visiting the BV store more often now!

congrats and welcome to the bv world!
its very pretty and you are definitely gonna love it!

It's pretty indeed, love the simple swirl design and the Ebano colour plus the rustic gold rings complements well. Eventhough there's none of the signature intrecciato present, any BV lover would instantly recognise those braided handles. Very clever!

I think you'll be lucky in terms of care, because with that fabulous pattern, not much dirt would show. It's a great bag - congrats!

I like it--congratulations! It shouldn't be hard to care for at all.

I love that bag. I've always been scared of the canvas bags (I usually buy my canvas bags from Old Navy!) but that one looks like it would hold up. The handles are so beautiful.

hi shopaholic925, congratulations on such a fab looking bag. love the swirls and braided handles, and the bronze hoops are cute too. canvas shouldn't be difficult to care for at all. just wipe with a damp cloth ocassionally and air dry thoroughly before storage. enjoy your new baby and i'm sure we'll be seeing you post something new from bv in good time.

oh that bag is really beautiful and unique, I'd love to see real life pictures if possible. I like the contrast of the design of the canvas with the braided leather handles, really nice!

Roxane · Dec 22nd, 2007, 03:35 PM

Very nice!

Welcome to BV! I just love this bag, it seems so versatile!

shopaholic925 · Dec 22nd, 2007, 06:59 PM

thanks for the very warm welcome! haha.. will take a real-life photo soon but trust me, its even better in person!! as for caring for it, this early im just a bit worried about the corners but i guess i just have to enjoy the bag without worrying too much! it's my first pricey canvas bag, that's why!

How pretty!! Congrats on such an interesting first BV, shopaholic925!

shopaholic925- love the canvas tote. saw it irl and it is tdf. i wouldn't worry too much about the care. i think bottega does a certain amount of pre treatment and the color and pattern should do the rest. love the ebano braided handle. so bottega. enjoy it is beautiful.
