Hi everyone,

Happy New Year to all!

I am having a hard time making a decision. I have been able to find the black med. pleated veneta & Turbolence Campana at great prices & am not sure which to keep. They both are such different bags! I love the twist of the pleated veneta, however, I already own the med. nero veneta & the nero sloane. For Christmas, my DH bought me a turbolence wallet. So ladies, which would you choose. Should I add color to my collection with the turbolence campana? Or keep a great black bag??

Thanks for your opinions!

Oh, that is hard. I am so head over heels for the Nero Pleated Veneta. Love the Campana too, if it weren't too small for me. Turbolence is a delicious color. If the Campana suits you, sizewise, I'd opt for that one.

Well, if you can't keep both, I say.......the turbolence Campana, although, it has been said that the pleated Veneta won't always be around. Sorry, I am no help!

Keep them both and sell your Medium Veneta.

Not much help, but the pleated just has that extra touch...

Do you have a gut feeling at all about which one speaks to you more? I have the large pleated Veneta in black and think it is just gorgeous. Could you sell the plain Veneta in black? I have never seen the campana, but it looks great in the pictures as does the turbolence. It would be great to have a pop of color in your collection. On the other hand, you can never have too many great black bags. Keep both! As you can obviously see, I am no help what so ever!!!!!!!
Good luck with your decision!

Thank you all for your opinions. I feel like a would use the pleated veneta a bit more than the campana, but I like the idea of having a pop of color to my wardrobe. Would it be bad to have 4 black BV bags? I am waiting on my SO of the Jennifer Aniston bag too! As you can see, I like black bags. Decisions, decisions.

couturequeen · Jan 5th, 2009, 07:43 PM

I would get the turbolence - matches your wallet and is a completely different style and color than what you own.

It seems like everyone has a tough decision to make lately.

People say if you like the style, get it in every colour you want. I say if you like the colour, get it in every style you want. I love ebano and if I could I'd get all the BV styles in that colour, LOL. I saw capulet's nero pleated veneta and it is gorgeous! The pleates are so ingenious and dare I say sexy. I've seen turbolence campana too and love the colour, but I personally do a pop of colour in a smaller portion. So how much pop do you want? would be my question to you.

And... can't wait for your Jennifer Aniston bag!!

BookerMoose · Jan 5th, 2009, 08:48 PM

I'm thinking keep both and sell the Nero Medium Veneta...

i am with bookermoose :)

alexis77 · Jan 5th, 2009, 09:48 PM

I am relatively new to BV, but I really think that the turbolence is such a special color and it is so different than anything else you own. It really is a neutral with a little something extra. Do you like the Campana style? What if you could find a turbolence pleated veneta? Then you would get the color and the sexy pleats...

adoptastray · Jan 6th, 2009, 02:50 AM

I agree with keep both and sell the medium nero! I have turbolence and sigh, it's so pretty.

mrsDIY88 · Jan 6th, 2009, 10:18 AM

keep the turbolence campana.

it'll make a nice set with your wallet, and is a nice classy colour

minismurf04 · Jan 6th, 2009, 10:26 AM

I think u should sell the med and keep both pleat and campana!

The campana size is rather small, probably like a med veneta, so if you can make use of that, definitely go for it as the color is beautiful!

piperlu · Jan 6th, 2009, 10:36 AM

I am partial to the pleated. I only have one, but I'm really loving it. I especially love the pleats. I wish I could have one in each color. I wish they would keep this style around. I have a wallet in turbolence, so I know that is a gorgeous color too.
