We're picking up little Rhyn Saturday at 12:30. I've picked up a new leash (cheap, 'cause I know he'll be chewing on it just like Zoey did), a inexpensive first harness, pee pads for the occasional accidents, and two puppy Kongs. Off to pick up what the foster's been feeding (Merrick Puppy Grain-free) until my regular pet store gets their shipment of Orijen Puppy in next week, and we'll sign up for the very first puppy class while we're picking up food. Excited!

Good luck with a new family member! :)

So exciting! Can't wait to see more pics of Rhyn.

My early fall catalog finally arrived. I'm holding out for the Cruise collection. I hear there are some new bag designs on the horizon. The cabat on page 27 sure is a stunner though.

Good day, dearest BV-ettes :) I have to ask you for your valuable advice
I was 99% done in my decision to get a perfect neutral Veneta in large size for me BD https://www.bysymphony.com/bottega-veneta-large-veneta-intrecciato-shoulder-bag-brown-49691.html, and today I found this beauty https://www.yoogiscloset.com/botteg...ven-nappa-leather-medium-veneta-hobo-bag.html
so now I am torn... on the one hand it a brand new bag, perfect colour, new design (handle and corners), and on the other hand it's another perfectly neutral Veneta (any idea on the colour?) in large size, but in old style (2012+?) and at a half price of the first one...
the pre-loved one is in great condition, but it's not the same as brand new, but it's way cheaper... which one would you choose, and why? thanks a lot in advance!

My first reaction was buy the Yoogi's one. Why? Because it's a great price and because if you don't like it, you can return it. That's what is great about Yoogi's -- no hassle. If I didn't like it, I'd then try the new one. Yoogi's says the color is Lotus which I am not familiar with.

But as I type, I consider the fact that while they're both in the brown family but they are quite different. Lotus strikes me as a bit more summery or warm weather and with your Krim and Mallow, you may have the softer palette covered. The more caramel color will work nicely into the fall and winter and may serve better as a year round color.

And, it could be you're only considering the Yoogi's bag because it's a really great price.

So after all this typing, stay the course and get the one Symphony.

Congratulations on Rhyn indiaink! How exciting - hope it all goes smoothly and we want lots of pictures, of course!
I'm very excited myself as I just snagged a Montaigne in Opera! It was one of the (few) colours left that I was hoping to find a Montaigne in some day, but I also didn't know if I the Montaigne had ever come in Opera, so I was overjoyed to see one pop up on eBay this morning. Wahoo!

Thanks, Dear!
indeed, it's stated as Lotus, but Lotus was made in 2007/2008-ish (as per our ref library) and this bag has a one line ref code which was 2012+ so I reckon they just confused the name of the colour, plus as per samples given here Lotus was paler and pinker
Yes, ref to Caramel (Toscana?) and Fall point, my BD is in October, so it was a strike combo
Ref Yoogi's one, I kept my eyes and ears open for something like that (large, VENETA, beige-y) but nothing turned up until today...

You are so right - i can return it back if i don't like it!
Better try and return than feel sorry about a missed chance!
The toscana is always there, it's not a "last piece" and i really doubt they run out of stock quickly...
thank you, Dear, for a great idea :D

The Yoogi's bag looks like Walnut to me (from 2013). Mind you I'm already two Bellinis in, on an empty stomach and sitting outside in 30C sunshine. *but I'm pretty sure it's Walnut :smile:
