Quilted Venetia in Bordeaux

#4
Sorry ladies, I got it for my sister! This is my 1st handbag purchase from ebay!!!
I love this Quilted Venetia for myself, but 15" across is a bit big for me (13" is my limit right now). In case she doesn't love it, I will keep it then. =)

My sister's in the mid-40's with 2 sons (14 & 9), do you think she will love this?
She has LV's Damier Alma & Red Epi ? (satchel, forgot the style name). I have been looking for another bag for her with no luck. While waiting for our food in a restaurant yesterday, she pointed at someone's Gucci bag & told me that it's probably a new style. I was going to ask members in Gucci Sub-forum for advice, but came across this Venetia.

That bag is gorgeous! Great deal. I think she'll like it, but I don't know how comfortable is to carry while dealing with two kids. In any case, it's a win win situation, if she likes it, she keeps it, if she doesn't, it's yours! :biggrin:

I was just coming to post this. I bet is gets snatched quickly. I'd take it but I have a Rouge Balenciaga and I wonder if it's too close in color.........:cool:

Girliegirl, Balenciaga's Rouge is true red right? I couldn't keep up with all the color names. =)

This Bordeaux from MJ is burgundy.

It's gorgeous!! At your first post, bag.lover, I clicked and went to the bag, then I searched leshent's items and wondered why I couldn't find it. D-uh, only saw the rest of the thread now... Good choice!!!

Thanks, I thought the price is quite fair for a new & nice leather bag too since it's regularly $1200. I'm really scared of fake bags on ebay, but this seller is trustworthy so I went for it.

I thought this bag would be good for my sister because of the dark color & materials. Icey leather seems easier to maintain than smooth calf leather, plus finger prints & scratches aren't too obvious on antiqued hardware. If the bag requires too much TLC, I would pass too because my sister needs low-maintenance bags. I was speechless when I saw 2 5-lbs dumbbells in my sister's LV Alma (a few years ago) -- my nephews just dropped them in there. LOL. =) They are old enough not to do that anymore.

Yup, agree that it's a win-win situation. If she doesn't like it too much, i'll get to use it since I don't have any bag in this color.

Minicoop, were you interested in it too? I'm sorry for taking it away from everyone here.

Thank you for confirming my choice. =)
I've been looking desperately around ebay for Rose Quartz Blake lately.
I recently came across a Petunia Blake, but was too afraid to bid on it since I wasn't familiar with the seller (plus no paypal). This listing's ended, what do you think of it?

I was outbid on Honey Blake a few weeks ago.

Yes, it is pretty much a true red. I hesitated since I don't need another reddish bag :P Or do I? :graucho:

I've have to keep my eye out for more Venetias. They've never caught my eye until now.

Congrats on the bag. Someone's going to love it :heart:
