this makes even my eyes hurt!
i saw this in the internet feed, in the theme 'what will be 'in' this coming summer', but i cannot find any legit proof that this is actual BV, at least so far

I think it has to be photoshopped. At least I hope it is!

It makes me think of the disclaimer on some signs: Not actual size.

Apologies if anyone has already asked this but... is BV gearing up for a price increase? I just noticed mini Jodies are $2370 on Luisa via Roma. They're $2250 everywhere else.

Example: https://www.luisaviaroma.com/en-ae/...=_p_d224_gw&SizeTypeId=04&SizeId=1&from=gshop

My SA at Neiman Marcus told me that the BV price increase is going into effect on May 18th Already seeing some of the increases across other sites!

Oh man do you happen to know how much?

Does anyone have either the teen and regular size in the pouch (or both?!)? Trying to decide which I like more I would use it for evenings out only and don’t carry much, but I do like the way the regular size looks when carried.

He said 8-10% depending on the bag! Not sure how shoes and accessories are being impacted

 

[grietje]

I got a note from the Carmel boutique saying most items will go up 15 percent.

It's a significant increase. I think the Teen Jodie is jumping from $2900 to $3200. The large Intrecciato Pouch will increase from $3500 to $3800. Remember when that bag was under $3000 just a couple of years ago? I was also told the price increase take effect May 18.

 

[ksuromax]

when did these prices become a norm??
i still remember when a regular Veneta was 2,2, or 2,3k

Switzerland:
Mini Jodie 2080 to 2200 CHF
Teen Jodie 2550 to 2780 CHF

Admittedly the crazy price increases are starting to turn make the luxury experience less luxurious for me. I'm not against price increases. I expect them. The last price increase in November 2021 was steep, but I think it was the first since November 2019. That one did not bother me. However, to have another price increase just as steep only six months later feels off to me. I get that it may be partially driven by the insane inflation. But even as a luxury consumer, I like to feel I'm getting my money's worth from the purchase. I'm not sure I'm getting enough out of the material item and my experience with it at these prices.

Well said.

And not every fashion house is keeping up the standard, and quality tends to decline from year to year. I'm looking at RTW, good half of clothes are synthetic, and if it's something natural, linen, silk, or cashemere, the the prices just go through the roof!

If you haven't been on the Bottega Veneta website in the last day or two, go check it out. The overall look and feel has been updated, and lots of new items. Still checking it all out, but the Holographic color/leather is speaking to me most so far:
