Frankly, I am surprised you are even debating this at the price point you paid. Similar styles from new collection retail at over $3000. You got a quality bag that will last you a long time and even though not the exact style you were hoping for, you can always add a Veneta when the right one comes along in a different color. For what it's worth, my biggest hesitation personally with BV is that I can never decide what color I want. Since you love this color, wear it, enjoy it, and stop stressing. Once you use maybe you will love and if not you can always sell. Sounds like there would be many takers just in this thread!
