this is another take on the bombe satchel that i have been eyeing with such desire lately..... you can see close ups of the weave. it looks sooooo touchable!

Bombe Satchel $5480 usd
Lambskin with croco trim, Ebano
12.5L x 9H x 5-6W
Zipper closure, Ash suede lining, Ferro hardware

I LOVE this coloring.....

And then for comparison

12"H x 15"W x 6"D
$6800 USD

I cannot wait to see shopaholic&baby's new baby!!!!!!

bv.luxury -

FYI - here is further discussion on the bombe from jburgh's thread, sorry if i should have added to it instead of starting a new one. i forgot we had this - should have done the search BEFORE posting picture

What do we think of this framed bombe satchel?

doloresmia -

I am so ordering the black satchel...again. If I cancel it again, BG/NM are going to ban me from their websites.

shopaholic&baby · Sep 9th, 2008, 10:44 AM

oh great, jburgh, so we're going to be bag twins!!!

Da Bomb is a hell of a bombshell coming out to the public...lol. Magnificient in every way, the croc piping all over, wonderful details....this as a large tote/small carry - on size, and there is a beauty on your side! Does this piece exist in a bigger size or something similar that will take a 14 inch computer? :-)

I see that this bag has metal feet on the bag....is that correct? Do any of the totes or satchel like this have normally hardware underneath? I personally prefer it when I buy a large leather piece, while some "other' brand names are moving away from this very practical feature...

gamdc20005 - i cannot be sure, but i think the bond bag which i also love has hardware. bryan would be able to answer with more precision. he is at bv.luxury@gmail.com

jburgh - YAYAYYAYAYA!!!!! remember you are buying for two (aka me)...... i LOVE this weave!

The prices are beyond my budget, but they are eye-catching! I wonder how they manage to make the weave look rounded rather than flat?

You took the words right out of my mouth, boxermom! I can't figure that part out - I just know they look great like that!

My guess is that the leather is sewn into a tube and stuffed with a little something in between each time it is woven through. Wouldn't you just love to see a bag like this being made?

bv.luxury · Sep 10th, 2008, 06:40 AM

From what I read, I believe the leather is padded, if not, though, it's double-weaved? I have to double check & confirm, but it is a new technique Tomas is implementing for these new bags...

This is really a beautiful bag. I went to the trunk show in Barneys a few months back and saw the second bag doloresmia posted. The leather caught my eyes immediately. The SA told me that it is a padded weave. They put a soft foam between the two layers of leather to get that rounded look. I tried it on and it was on the heavy side, maybe because of double layer. I'm sure bv.luxury will be able to confirm for everyone. It's a gorgeous bag but beyond my budget.

doloresmia · Sep 10th, 2008, 10:21 AM

dolphingirl, bv.luxury - that is good information. would be great to see what else tomas does with this weave. i wonder if with the foam the bag hits 2.5 pounds given size?

I truly hope that it is not padded with foam. Aging is not kind to foam, and the real beauty of my vintage BV's is that they have survived beautifully over all these years - one over 30 years.

In any event, the look is gorgeous! - and I hope the longevity is as well.
