I did NOT need another bag (famous last words 
) and I blame @Seeeca and our favorite local BV SA for this.
I know this is THE classic BV bag, but it really wasn't on my radar until we were in the boutique a few weeks ago and I overheard these two elves gushing about her two large Maier-era Venetas and how the SA was looking for one in EUC for his daughter. It might sound stupid, but as a fan of more linear/structured bags, I hadn't considered the Veneta (thus my Capri, Biletto, Billetto w/ chain, crossbody flap... also have had my eye on the Olympias)... but as they say, "ignorance is bliss" and knowledge is a b***h so... voila. I managed to hunt down a large, black NEW Veneta with dustbag, cards AND mirror, on eBay from a reputable seller at a reasonable price (aka very good deal considering how coveted these are... I really had no idea!).
And here she is.
Must say, I definitely underestimated this bag/style - absolutely love it. So... Seeeca and the SA have my blame and thanks!

And some very bad mod shots in a very dusty mirror
