I’m terrible at describing colors, but I’d say it was more of a cornflower blue. More of a muted blue!

Hello everyone!
I would love your opinions. I am currently deciding between the teen and small Jodie as my first bottega purchase (and first new luxury handbag in over 4 years) I tend to wear cross body bags (I have 4 designer bags at the moment so a very small collection)
I want this bag to be my new everyday bag, I cannot decide which colour to get. I love the lighter shades but for practicality for me I need to go with a darker colour. All of my bags are black and I LOVE the black but I feel like is it boring? Or am I sensible for getting black? I’ve also been looking at Inkwell and space
For reference I don’t really wear bright colours, I wear mostly browns/greys/navy’s and blacks. What would you do given I do not have £££££ to splash on multiple bags in different colour ways?
Thank you!

My bag preferences are very similar to yours. I vastly prefer crossbody as well, even in today's era of the shoulder bag, and my collection is extremely "boring" and is comprised of 90% black bags and the rest are primarily a dark brown
I just picked up my small Jodie recently in black as well and I have to say I love it. Like you, I worried that I was making a boring choice and that the black color wouldn't flatter the woven leather as much as a lighter color, and Bottega also does so many beautiful color shades, etc... But the bag is EXPENSIVE, and imo you gotta get what you'll love and wear the most. And if that's another black bag, then that's what I think you should get! No sense in picking another color that you'll worry about more and also not enjoy wearing as much as the black, and then end up possibly regretting your choice or wanting to pick it up in black later on anyway. My 2 cents! Let us know what you end up with 
A black small Jodie is really timeless in my opinion so a safe buy. The small size is not the "hip" size but that's what makes it timeless - it's a well-sized classic hobo shape in a classic color in a classic Bottega weave. You'll be wearing it for years and years! I see you saying you have just 4 designer bags and I am jealous!!! That's good discipline and I'm now selling off bags to try to get there.
I bought my new Teen Jodie (black) a month ago. I was waffling for 8 months on size. I do not live by a BV store or any stores that sell BV. I live in Montana
I went to AZ and LV and was still torn. After my last trip I came home empty handed again. Frustrated I logged on to FWRD.COM and it was 50% off for the Teen and I thought I can't pass this up for $1750. I ordered it and I am so so so in LOVE! I am 5'4" 118 lbs and it holds so much. I Love that is has sagged a bit and is the perfect "armpit" bag. It is comfortable and stays on my shoulder with a light jacket and or a sweater/sweat shirt. I hope that helps. If you have any questions let m know! 
.Wow, 50%?! How?? Wonder if that will happen again.I bought my new Teen Jodie (black) a month ago. I was waffling for 8 months on size. I do not live by a BV store or any stores that sell BV. I live in Montana
They still have a lot marked down but not as deep. They do it what I have seen in January before they release the new season colors and styles. Hope that helps

I would get Space. I have Inkwell and it’s just beautiful but it is decidedly FW for me. Space is a deep pretty blue that I think will look fantastic with lighter colors for spring and summer.
And I really like navy with black. It’s not as matchy and just adds a relaxed dimension to a black outfit.

Hi all, I'm new here so not sure this is the right place to post this. I've just gotten a Medium Jodie in black that I bought from Vestiaire. Since there are some details that don't really match the description (the bag was listed as 'New' but to my opinion it's clearly been worn a few times - visible on zipper pull. overall the bag is in near perfect condition so that doesn't really bother me. also, the seller sent it with the old Bottega dust bag saying they misplaced the original one and just grabbed whatever was at hand). That got me a bit suspicious. Could anyone who has this bag compare the photos of mine with theirs and tell me whether you see some differences? It would be greatly appreciated. I tried comparing with my Pouch and Padded Cassette but the leather feels different on both (might be because it's been worn plenty?). I have just 72hours to file a complaint so I'm panicking, to put it bluntly. Thank you to anyone who read this.

@rozaalie, I may have this wrong but I am recalling that the very first DL BV bags came with the brown BV dust bag. The white and green came almost a year later. So I might not worry so much about the dust bag.
I was in the same boat debating between the teen and small sized Jodie in the caramel color last year. Confession - I already had the small Jodie in black but I loved it so much I wanted a different color. So when the caramel came around, I tried to go for the teen size to add some variety. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out well for me - The fit was awkward under my arm when it will filled with my stuff. I ended up returning the teen size and going for another small in the caramel. Ha! I LOVE both. They are a couple of my favorite bags. So comfy and roomy. Like someone said, it’s probably not as “trendy” as the smaller sizes but I usually choose function over fashion in general.
For an everyday bag, I definitely would vote for the small size since it gives you the option to carry more if you want. If you don’t want to carry a lot, it still looks amazing as a slouchy bag.
Agree, I've purchased quite a few DL bags that came with brown dust bag, even from the BV boutique. They are also not all consistent in sizing for the same style bag. I think they give you whatever dust bag they can find.
