I just saw the bag in person. Absolutely gorgeous and so practical and versatile. Can definitely see myself dressing it up or down. I ended up picking up a small in the travertine color. It feels like such an impulsive buy for someone like me that likes to wait for reviews to come out first, but my god. This bag just spoke to my soul!
Congratulations on your new Andiamo! I would love to see photos!

I bought the small in white and love it but it’s going back, I’ve used it twice in one week and am very careful with my bags but noticed today that the rope strap is already showing considerable wear! The bag is designed to pull through the metal holes and unfortunately that pulls on the soft leather and peels it, I called Bergdorf and they deemed it defective and offered an exchange but I’m not sure, it’s a pricey bag to show wear so quick….anyone with an Andiamo experience anything similar?

I love the medium! Can you please do some mod shots?
Sure! Here are my best attempts :angel:

I’m 5’5 and a US size 10-12 (but currently about 6 1/2 months pregnant so wider than normal :amuse:) and I will say it gets a bit cumbersome to use crossbody if it’s filled with stuff, but if I’m carrying a lot I usually wear it long over shoulder. It’s also great to grab top handle. I totally forgot to take a photo with the straps doubled up because I haven’t worn it that way yet! Its such a great bag though, so versatile:heart: love that the medium fits everything you’d ever need to carry and since I’m not small, proportionally the medium looked best on me too !

I am considering this bag and am curious if after these few months that you still love the bag. How is the wear on the bag after using?

It’s been my everyday bag since I got it! And that’s saying a lot because I picked up a medium lady Dior at the same time, but I like the BV more as the everyday bag.

Couple of things I’ve enjoyed about the bag:
1. I live in an area where you do see a lot of luxury bags, and never have i seen anyone else carry this bag before. I enjoy being the only one carrying this bag and never having to experience an awkward moment of standing next to someone carrying the same bag as I am.
2. No one knows it’s a BV. Even before the “quiet luxury” fad, I’ve always enjoyed using subtle bags without the logos as my everyday bag, so this one is definitely a preference.
3. Ive thoroughly enjoyed the versatility of the bag. When I first purchased the bag, I thought for sure I would be using this as a crossbody, but to my surprise, wearing it on my shoulders is much more convenient and allows me to get in and out of my bag so much easier. And when I’m in a rush I end up grabbing the bag by top handle and straps and it reminds me of the “cool girl chic” vibe if you know what I mean. So because you can wear it in my different ways, it’s easy to dress up or down the bag.
4. The small fits a lot more than I anticipated; probably because the bottom tapers out.

And now for the not so good parts of the bag because there is no such thing as a perfect bag.
1. Wear and tear - honestly I’m still not sure I would say the wear and tear is horrible, or if it’s reasonable so I’ll provide photos of my current wear and tear that I’ve noticed.
