Do you think large Veneta hobo in Cobalt would be a good first buy? I have kept my eyes on Veneta large hobo for a very long time and the item is 50% off

I'm living in California and mostly wear jeans and t-shirts. I saw the picture of medium size here in TPF and the color itself is gorgeous. I think it would be okay for casual and everyday use, but just need an assurance

Thanks!

I think it would be a perfect choice! Cobalt is gorgeous IRL!!!

Great choice!

You could not do better!

doreenjoy · May 21st, 2009, 04:09 PM

I agree, it will be perfect with jeans.

I love cobalt! Such a vibrant color.

Great choice. Congrats!

You should get it. Cobalt is such a lovely color and a large veneta can store more things too.

doloresmia · May 21st, 2009, 11:20 PM

get it if you still can, cobalt is beautiful!

The cobalt is gorgeous! I was in the 5th ave store the other day and they didn't have it anymore. I was so bummed. You should definitely snatch it up!

Don't mean to hijack this thread but I read on the sales thread that the blue color fades and bleeds. Is this true? Has this happened to anyone? I'm ordering a cobalt Veneta and this makes me nervous.

Cobalt is the one I was looking for as well, but they are sold out everywhere.

I have had my medium cobalt veneta since February and have not had a problem with bleeding or fading. I never take it out in the rain though maybe if it got wet then I could see a problem with bleeding or leaving it in the hot sun. It's one of my favorite bags and I love the color.

Ever since I read that post in the June Sales thread, I have been SO nervous too!!! I got a Veneta in large from the sale. I haven't received it yet & freaked out when I read about the cobalt feedback.

Oh, I am SO glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback!
