Ladies! Those of you who own both Marco's and Bottega Veneta's bags - how does Marco's Nappa hold up against the Nappa BV uses for their itrecciato bags in terms of durability and quality? I adore Marco's leathers and am always curious if the tanneries he sourced his materials from were going head to toe with the big guns.

I have a few BV medium venetas, oldest is from 2012. I used to alternate amongst them daily till just a few months ago when i started on MM.
The newer BV venetas hold up very well as they are more puffy and the shoulder handle is more comfy. The older ones become slouchy much faster. But for my high level of usage, the leather and colours still look very good. My Calista is Merinos so it's thinner and i would think it will wear faster.
The thing is that intrecciato bags may in theory catch on something unlike MM's smooth bags.
I don't own a cervo as i find it heavy. Whereas MM's Merinos is fine to me.

I'm not sure if i answered your question or i just gushed over BV!

What's sadder is I don't think people will be letting go of their MMs now. I know I won't.

I actually have a couple bags I considered letting go before this news broke. I’m still actually considering that coz I never reach for them and not sure if I will. But yeah... maybe give me some time and maybe I’ll post them on the group.

:crybaby:I am so sad to hear that Marco is closing shop. I was on vacation all week. I would loved to have been able to grab a Zhoe and a Penelope. I hope he has a 2nd chance sale after he goes through all the orders.

Hi, just wanted let you know that I emailed Marco to see whether I’m too late to put an order through and he mentioned that he will be taking orders still this weekend. Hope that helps.

I know nothing about the tannery business and not that much more about leather. My input has no factual basis.

In my personal experience, Massaccesi’s nappa and Bottega Veneta’s nappa are both durable and beautiful. Both brands work very well for me.
