Hi Everyone! This is what my current bag collection looks like. I realized that I’m missing a lighter neutral color and a medium sized bag. YSL Sunset in Dark Beige and Dior Saddle in Black are my day to night bags, YSL tote is my work bag, and Loewe Basket is my pool and beach bag, which I use on most weekends, as I live in the UAE.
Do you think BV’s Travertine is a good color to add? Other contenders - Sterling, Light Butterscotch, Fondant. Which style will be more timeless - Jodie or Andiamo?
 
I love my Andiamo. I have the taupe in small. Jodi is great too….but Andiamo you can crossbody…which is something I just love. I like the hop and Jodie but having a hard time making it work due to really small, or really large.

Thank you! I think Jodie and Hop are very cool bags, but Andiamo seems more timeless and classic. The only drawback for me is that Andiamo is unlined. Does that bother you at all?

Not at all- I love it- truly I do. The ONE thing I don't love about the Andiamo is that you have to put the strap in the bag when you don't use it- and it does get in the way- you can take it completely off but it kinda ruins the bag and I don't love it that way. So, if you buy the Andiamo in small- I think the prettiest look is crossbody (total personal opinion).

Ironically, I found a small brown suede hop today and I bought it immediately- LOL. If I was to buy one hop- it was suede and small. I tried on the large and while I know a lot of people love it, it did not look good on me and the suede made the bag quite heavy. As I also am looking at your collection again, I think travertine is beautiful but similar to your YSL maybe?! IDK. I love the fondant but it is likely more of a fall color. Also, you don't have a hobo- so that is where the Jodi may come into play. I have loved BV for a very long time- and truly think both are classic. Looking at pics- if you like the Travertine color, I like it more on Jodie but if you are considering some other colors- than maybe Andiamo. When I bought mine, it was a new style and I got the taupe color (was hard to get back then, but see it often now) and I love it- attached a pic (sorry the knot it off- but this is due to the strap nut being pulled fully:)
