I just got my medium "dark brown" Veneta from Blue Fly. I couldn't be happier, I am loving this bag more everyday! I believe it is Ebano, what do you guys think??

The photo is a little dark, but it does look like ebano. I saw it too on BF but was a little slow to catch it. It was a good deal. Congrats chelleb!

Thank you! Yeah sorry about that the photo is a bit dark, regardless it's such a plush luxury bag. This is my first BV, I think I'm hooked!

yup, I can guarantee you that you'll get hooked. and you'll be ruined in terms of other brands. every time I use a bag of mine from another designer now I find it sooo heavy and cumbersome.

I agree it's Ebano, if it's a dark brown. A classic color that doesn't go on sale in the stores, so good for you!!!! My personal opinion is that this color of all of them shows off the woven Nappa leather the best.

Wear in good health!

Congratulations and welcome to the BV obsession! I agree it is ebano - a perfect start to a BV collection!!!

Welcome to the club. It's a healthy addiction. Ebano is a beautiful brown that shows the quality of the leather better than any other color...enjoy!

LottieB · Jun 21st, 2008, 07:04 PM

chelleb22, congrat! I bought the same bag from BF. I haven't seen it in person yet but I saw one in a BV store, and I really like it.

chelleb22 · Jun 21st, 2008, 07:45 PM

Thanks everyone!!

LottieB, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine! Great deal for you too! Congrats!

Ebano has to be my favorite of the brown colors...so yummy. Congratulations. BV indeed will spoil you for other brands and they are addicting. But the quality of the materials and construction will last a lifetime. Enjoy your new bag!

dolphingirl · Jun 21st, 2008, 09:50 PM

Welcome and congrats. Ebano is very beautiful and Veneta is such a nice, classic bag. You will sure be hooked!!

risingsun · Jun 22nd, 2008, 12:38 AM

Were you pleased by the quality from BF?

Katemonaco · Jun 22nd, 2008, 03:09 AM

Congrats on owning your first BV! Isn't it a wonderful experience? I get a kick out of sniffing my beautiful Veneta and the dust bag. The smell of that leather is amazing. LOL

And the ebano is a lovely brown. :)
