Bottega fans are some of the most demanding, discerning and loyal people I know. Where are at now, what are you thinking?
Are you staying loyal, perhaps vacuuming up all the past Cervo hobos from resale, delighted with the new direction, watching and waiting or have you already given up on BV? Are you still popping into the store or browsing on the website or are you just hoping the shares fall through the floor so a new CD can take over?
I often glance in through the windows of Bond St, Sloane St or Selfridges and well, I could use the tumbleweed emoticon right here. There's no one ever there. Could be a UK thing but I can barley get seen in some other stores in London.
You may know I have mostly pinged between BV, Gucci and Hermes for years so some of you are far more invested emotionally and financially. I find myself watching and waiting with Gucci (plus investing in the odd thing - nothing major) but I find myself wide-eyed with mostly horror at BV. Not all my bags are typical, not all intrecciato, not all bought new. I wasn't a die-hard fan of everything of TM ( I'd even thought I'd said goodbye before, the colours were maddening for years and then along came an Intrecciato gunmetal cervo hobo). But seeing croc print used on a BV bag, BV logos on jewellery, strips of leather as wide as seatbelts, I don't even know if I can ever return with this 'BV'.
