Hello!

I posted on the "Introduce Yourself" thread, but since I have a question to ask I thought I would also briefly say hi here also. Love BV, and currently have Large Ebano Veneta, and large Ebano patent and suede tote (gosh, I can't remember the official name). Simple black satin knot clutch is on the horizon at some point...

Anwyays, I passed on the Noce Ostrich tote last year, and I've been kicking myself in the head ever since! Does anyone have recommendations on reputable sellers/dealers I can look at?

veeleigh - welcome to the thread! we are all passionate about BV here.... to your question, have you checked out the shopping reference thread? in the stickies section there are three threads you should look at

http://forum.purseblog.com/bottega-veneta-shopping/

1) authentic resellers
2) deals thread
3) outlet thread

of course if you see anything on ebay or with some other unknown seller that you are unsure of, post on the authentication thread.

HTH!

Welcome, veeleigh!

You already have a lovely collection going on! The patent/suede ebano tote must be the Rugiada tote if it's from the recent collection?

GL with your noce ostrich hunt. We will all be looking out for you, too.

BTW, is your avatar Guggenheim?

Thanks. Yes, it must be Rugiada as I got it at the SF BV right before Thanksgiving (and at 30% off!).

The avatar is the Reichstag dome in Berlin, actually.

Welcome to our lovely BV forum, veeleigh! Several of us have the Rugiada tote..it is very special. And you can't go wrong with a Veneta. Have you seen the ruffled Nero Knot in the cruise collection? It is pretty cool.

I hope you find your bird. You can always inquire about a special order

If you have any questions, just PM me. You will be able to PM (private message) after you get up to 25 posts.

I have two of the rugiada totes, large (moro) and small (black). I didn't know they made it in ebano, thought it was just moro and black. Luv, luv them.

It is Moro. But, I've heard SAs call it Ebano and Chocolate.
