I know I was considering a black large campana the other day, and I've succesfully conqured my desire towards a butterfly tote, which reduced to $1300 from $2800, and the allure of the Aurora medium Campana (1880 to $1320), just to save money for my classic campana. However today, I can't resist it anymore when I see this beautiful wallet. I don't even need to comment on the woven leather. Look at the color, it's so beautiful, and perfect for me

. I almost bought an Aurora wallet with the Campana, which are both on 30% off. I'm glad I didn't. I like this one much better.

Another bag I've been eyeing for is the metalic oversized bullet bag. It's still in full price and pre-order on BV's website. On NAP, it's 30% already! Unfortunately it's sold out when I saw it. good for my wallet though. It's not a classic style, but I think I can carry it everyday, even to work

. I am really thinking of getting it when it's on sale after Xmas (hopefully the 30% plus 33% sale). Do you think it's a good choice over the Campana and Veneta?

Ok, here are the links and pictures, in case NAP removes the items.

both are amazingly beautiful!

For what it's worth, I tried the bullet tote on consignment. The leather is no where near as soft as what I've come to expect from BV. And the bag has a bling factor...can't really explain it. I'm pretty casual and low key....as my husband said when I tried on the bag, "that is so not you." However, on someone more sophisticated it's a beautiful bag. BTW, the wallet is gorgeous.

Love the wallet and I'm soooo in love with the ossidato oversized tote you have pictured, but I have the ottone sloane already. The bag is a beauty but I'm still not sure if it's too trendy and therefore worth the £££. Here in the UK it's £1500 but maybe if the sale prices go really low it might be worth the investment?

I've been watching the soccer... Thank you all. Your input made me happier about buying the wallet

.
LLANeedle: so maybe this bag is not suitable for work, lol.
Syma: I think the pattern of the bag is very trendy but the style and color are not. I'd still think it's a beautiful bag ten years later. but knowing that the leather is not as soft, maybe I won't buy at 30% off, but definitely at 50% or higher

.
minismurf04: we thought about the same thing - the two of them go well with each other.
