Hi Everyone,
Big BV fan. But have been hesitant about buying more of their stuff after my Veneta in Pompeii got stained simply by rubbing against my black t-shirt. 5th Ave store tried removing the stain, and reweaving the bag, but ended up just replacing it with a new one. Since then I've been seeing many BV bags that I liked, but wasn't rushing to buy (along with the fact that they always can be found on sale unlike LV). But few weeks ago I really fell in love with the new Platino Ossidato bags, with braided handles. Purchased it, only to be disappointed with its shape after I put only a few things into it. So I exchanged it for one of these http://www.bottegaveneta.com/shoponline/ProductDetail.aspx?productId=3a2fe45d-1a19-4a00-9342-4ae86a806140&folderId=92e188e4-512f-4389-bc76-38a5dee7b1e6&page=all but in Ebano. A more practical color, obviously. Now, the question: is there any way to waterproof this bag, so that I wouldn't worry about being caught in the rain?
