Choosing a BV crossbody bag

[AL1982]

Hello Everyone. New to BV and loving these sumptuous, understated bags. Looking to start with a crossbody bag first but failed to find many reviews on these. Does anyone have one of these and could offer some opinions or please help me choose! Looking to choose the Fondant color for either of these. Thank you.

I think both are very nice! I do prefer the second one just a little bit more for it's simplicity

They’re quite different but I personally prefer bags without zippers so for me it would be andiamo out of the 2. My only concern is the small tab.

I would consider what you want to carry in them as I would expect the 2nd to be more generous.

(i have the flat weave cassette myself and it’s such a no fuss, practical bag. Worth checking that one out as well if you haven’t already.)

If you haven’t already I would also look at the rumple bag. Not sure they have it in the women’s collection but it is really stunning.

Will check out your suggestions, thank you! I carry very minimal - YSL card case, a lip stick, sanitizer, car keys. So, both will work. Is the concern for the tab being hard to open/close the bag?

Wow, that Rumple is gorgeous, love the weaving!

I don’t own the andiamo clutch so I am just guessing that it would annoy me personally to have a fussy closure and to keep sliding the tab in place. The actual detail is really nice.
The rumple definitely has a wow factor and same price range. Will fit the least I think but would be my choice if I didn’t already have the cassette.

Keep us updated on what you decide on.

I haven't owned a Bottega Veneta bag myself, but everything I've read about their quality is amazing. This bag is gorgeous!
