I just watched the SS 2017 BV fashion show in Milan. Has anyone else watched it yet? I know that Grietje has. I had to keep stopping it to get better glimpses of the bags.

Lauren Hutton also walked in the show carrying the red BV clutch that she carried throughout the movie American Gigolo. That was the first time I ever saw a BV.

I am mesmerized by this tote from the show:

The pic isn't super clear, but the body/weave of the bag almost looks like the "burnt marshmallow" Cabat from several years ago, but with more of a defined pattern. Is it an exotic, Diane? It almost has a Nuvolato quality to it - I can see why you're drawn to it.

I can't see it well enough to tell, but I think at least the handles are an exotic. I first thought it was a cabat but it looks like the handles are attached instead of sewn on. It reminds me of my nuvolato tote with its fat weave. My nuvolato tote is my heaviest bag but if this bag is perfect for me, and if I can afford it, I'll go for it. I am hoping that it's not too taupe or pink. I have already asked my SA to find out about it. How's that for a little OCD?:nuts:

i have just returned from Paris, i vote for a baseball hobo.
I was torn between my baseballs and Balenciaga Days for my trip, eventually picked a Balenciaga Day in red only because red was working well with all my clothes and shoes, and it's very similar in its functions to BV hobo, so i would say go for a baseball. :) and have fun!!!

DH and I think Berlin is very cool. I can't tell you about specific places because my family just took us to all kinds of spots. We did some of the touristy stuf but a lot was walking the City. There's a different energy there than in Paris. I have family in south Berlin and Babelsburg just outside Berlin. My cousin's wife is a bespoke tailor--one of the best in the world actually. (She's in a book). I'll ask her about some spots.

Thanks. I also think the baseball would be a good choice.

G, thanks for checking for me. I know I would enjoy Berlin.

We may need to set up a syndicate of some sort with multiple members (like they do with race horses) and share one! :facepalm:
I'm guessing $14K-$16K. What do you think?
Does anyone know how to set up a GoFundMe page? I may be needing that info.....:wtf:

I gave up my plan of getting a cabat as soon as I saw this.

A GFM page sounds like a brilliant idea [emoji16]

I'm loving this Python Cabat. Reminds me of pixelated camo print. Is anyone starting a thread for SS17?

So that clutch she carried is being reproduced this season, along with 14 other bags from the archives, as a celebration of BV's 50th anniversary. I see a Cocker, so it will be interesting to see what else there is. Fingers crossed for @BookerMoose and an original Montaigne.
Here are two other Cabats for the season. Looks like I have some work to do updating the Seasonal Threads this afternoon. Not like I have anything else better to do today. Off to make MORE COFFEE!!!!
PS: yeah, my guess on that gorgey Cabat is ~ $16K

*EDIT: Ack! I see OneMoreDay beat me to it. Stupid iPad!

Thanks for the Spring/Summer thread, V0N. I stickied and moved it to our main forum for a month or so, then when posts slow down, it will go into the reference library. It will always be open for posting.
