Saw this on Rakuten, Bottega with a twist. Make that several twists.
Not sure if I like it...

It's definitely more expensive than the classic veneta.
What do y'all think?

I like the color, not the pleats though.

LLANeedle · Jun 13th, 2008, 04:09 PM

I totally love it..the pleats, the color....the fact that it's a veneta.

Brandless · Jun 13th, 2008, 04:22 PM

Is that a new or old style? Somehow, I prefer the Veneta as it is, simple and elegant. I've seen the other modifications they've done like the cutout flower or the contrast border and I didn't like them. Same with the pleats above.

I think the pleats are divine. It really emphasizes the suppleness and quality of the leather. True, the classics have their own timeless appeal, but I think this take on the veneta is far better than some of the others that brandless has mentioned. I can't wait to see it in real life!

I like it. For someone that is a veneta fan, it's a nice change of pace. Love the color....is it current or outlet?

shu · Jun 13th, 2008, 07:38 PM

I love it. I don't think it compromises the elgance and simplicity of the original (unlike the other designs I've seen).

Love the color. The pleats would have to grow on me--not so sure about that detail.

Everlong · Jun 13th, 2008, 10:22 PM

its a fresh twist on a classic! very unique.

Baggiana · Jun 13th, 2008, 10:35 PM

Gorgeous! - pleating and color! I'm a Veneta addict, and would buy in a minute!!!!!

purly · Jun 13th, 2008, 10:57 PM

I think it's cute.

I love purple.

And pleats.

purly · Jun 13th, 2008, 10:58 PM

It reminds me of a braid. Or a cabled sweater.

alisonanna · Jun 13th, 2008, 11:04 PM

I think the pleats will look amazing as it softens up. The color is really fabulous.
How much more expensive, I wonder, and will it be both large and medium?

lovinalotofbags · Jun 13th, 2008, 11:06 PM

Love the color, love BV. The pleats add a little twist to it, hehe. It looks great.
