Bottega Veneta Jodie Bag

TY for this picture. A color "Pinecone" rarely shown on this forum and for me a treasure. Almost didn't go for it (was heavily leaning towards cypress) however a swab analysis in my wardrobe clearly pointed to Pinecone. What a fabulous gold, taupe brown!

Yes! Pinecone is a fabulous color and works with so many other colors.

Would love some honest opinions please. I tried the teen size Jodie (I believe now called small - the one up from the mini) yesterday. My husband thought it looked great on me, but I feel like it looks kinda huge. Not sure I can pull it off. Thoughts? I’m 5’1 and looking for an everyday light throw around bag. Also attached a pic trying on the Chanel coco small, which I adore but think maybe is too formal for everyday. Thanks in advance!

The Jodie is definitely a casual throw-around bag but still small enough for a casual dinner. Wallace is also casual but not stuffable if you need it. The Chanel is not casual at all.

I think they all look great on you, but definitely different vibes. I have two Coco Handles and they are more dressy out of your three options. Since you are looking for an everyday throwaround, I would say either the Wallace or Jodie. Good luck!

Hi everyone! So I can’t find any reviews on that bag. It caught my eye while I was buying something else and it was instant love. I can’t stop thinking about it but I know I won’t get much use out of it because it’s small and handheld.
Anyone bought this bag? Some feedback would be appreciated! What fits? How practical/delicate is it...
picture attached is when I grabbed it in store.

That bag is gorgeous, I totally get why it was love at first sight. I haven’t personally bought it, but small handheld styles like that are usually more of a luxury accent piece than an everyday carry. Think of it like adding a beautiful cashmere scarf to elevate a simple outfit; sometimes, practicality takes a backseat to that special, timeless touch.


As for how much it fits, I’d guess the essentials — phone, small wallet, keys, maybe a lip balm. If your wardrobe already has more functional bags, this could still be a great statement piece for dinners or events.
