Did you guys see the limited edition Veneta? No wonder it is sold out (on Matches - saw it on the Harrods website, too, though)!

I have seen a lot of limited edition BV
This is not one of my favorites
Through the years my favorites are the zipper Veneta (not practical, the zippers catch on your clothes)
The Nuvalato (so beautiful)
And my all time favorite
The Pleated Veneta

Maybe it is the color
I am not loving it

Re the limited edition Veneta, I'm in the minority because I just don't love it. It's attractive and edgy but not for me. I hope the detailing is on both sides.

Also in the minority :flowers:
Maybe I'm just a curmudgeonly old hag but I don't like any of them.
Bottega Veneta has completely lost their vision, imo. (and me as a customer) If I wanted patterns and chains and blingy doodahs and belts and hardware, I'd buy Jimmy Choo. Good for them though to grow and attract new customers, but give me a simple Intrecciato Campana any day.
I know there are a lot of people who love the new aesthetic, so that's great - something for everyone and every taste - it's just not mine.

I'm in beautiful La Jolla for biz. Tomorrow I hit the road for a biz meeting in Rancho Mirage. I hear my rental car is already on auto pilot for a stop at the Cabazon outlet. It's been a year since I did some major credit card damage there. Will report back on the goodies in stock.

I'm with Von. I thought that veneta looked dated when I saw it. I too don't like the direction BV is taking. If I wanted chains I'd go to Chanel. And the styles with appliqués are trendy but not classic. To me it cheapens the bag. I think BV is copying other designers and they've lost their originality.

I think it is a beautiful bag that reinvents the veneta with references to the weave, the butterflies, the traditional handcrafts .

I think this type of leather would make me dare buy a light colored Bottega for once - but still, I will not spend my entire yearly bag budget on one bag when I can get several preloved for the same amount.....so here's hoping it turns up used somewhere soon at a fraction of the current price!
