Bottega Veneta but only for bags made between 2004 to late 2018. Impeccable quality and craftsmanship. Anything made after the new creative director is absolute garbage. You'll have to browse the pre-loved market.
In a different post about bags comparable to Hermes, VON1B2 wrote the response above.
I'm not sure if VON1B2 is still with us. I tried to @ her, but to no avail.
What I wanted to ask is if she still felt this way, or if she had softened towards Daniel Lee's work specifically with respect to the cabats. In particular, the suede bonded cabats (I'm not sure if the exteriors are lambskin or calf).
Von1B2 or any BV lovers, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
