I pulled the trigger on a mid size veneta in orange today. I was sooooo happy to take her back home with me. My only concern is how durable this hobo would be? And is orange easy to take care of if it gets an stain? I am not expecting it to be my daily bag, but would feel bad if such a beautiful hobo can only last couple of months or just 1 yr...What's your experience with your veneta hobo? TIA!

you can do a search on this, but some ladies have treated their bags with applegarde (sp?)

congrats on the new bag, looking forward to some action shots!

Thank you! I will do some search. I already used my orange venetta today! It's soooo soft and am a bit surprised that it holds a bit more than I thought. Big enough for my walk-around in the mall. I had a chiffon black dress + Tory Burch black flat + BV hobo + Hermes orange H watch today. The hobo is very eye catching :) Loving it!

You must have looked adorable, congrats.

I saw the orange at NM this week, beautiful color, definitely caught my eye.

I love it! It is the perfect size on you and you look so effortlessly chic!

Simple elegance at its best, with a touch of whimsy! I'm so envious of those who can wear orange...

It looks gorgeous on you!!!

LT bag lady · May 25th, 2009, 06:31 PM

You carry that off very well!! Looks great and the Veneta is a very durable bag you don't really need to baby her!
Enjoy!
