Took a little ferry ride off Ban Island for a blue cervo baseball hobo. I plan to post photos when it arrives to get some help figuring out the color. Looks like Electrique or maybe Pacific in the photos but I know it can be hard to tell depending on lighting.
Excited to see it! I have a blue one too, and never figured out the color. Will be interesting to see if they are similar.
 
Hope he makes a speedy recovery and you stay healthy.
My DH had it last week now I have it. not fun. :blah:
Hope you are both doing well now. I also just had it, and was pretty sick for almost a month…i had it in 2 phases, but thankfully DH did not catch it and was wonderful in taking care of me and our pups.
I have no symptoms and tested negative again this morning. DH feels quite a bit better. Today he’s super tired. The fever and aches have dissipated.
I hope your DH is doing much better, and that you continue to evade it

Covid is a beast! So happy you recovered and had good care from your DH. Receiving a positive Covid test when feeling the first symptoms is a bit terrifying. Stay healthy.

Thank you :) doing much better, finally. Was nice to get out of the house today!

It is a beast and i had a hard time kicking it. Especially scary as we all seemed to have caught it right after the terrible news about Ceejay :sad: hope you and your DH also stay healthy and well :)
DH finally tested negative. He’s been asymptomatic for 9 days but kept testing positive. Back to normal!
Glad to hear it!

Yesterday, after a dental appointment, I found myself near the Stanford Shopping Center and a little time to look around. There is a Neiman Marcus there with a small Bottega Veneta boutique, so I took a look-see. I found a purple patent leather pouch, such a thing was a first for me. I don't think I'd ever seen patent leather used for anything other than trim on a BV bag. Maybe I need to get out more often!

I'm curious about the feel of the patent leather on this bag. Did you happen to see if shows fingerprints? I'm intrigued by this oil slick look, but I'm not sure if it's for me. The color is gorgeous, though!

It was in a glass case, otherwise I would have given it a squish (and left my fingerprints for all to see).

That’s a great little BV boutique. Very well-located by one of the entrances and pretty quiet and easy to browse around. I miss going to the shopping center!

This is such a fun color/material. Would look equally cute with jeans and a dressier, evening out look.

Hello all, just a request to help things run smoother. When you want to post a photo of a bag, please actually upload the photo. When you post a URL for the picture (also called hot-linking), say one posted from the RealReal, once the bag is sold the photo disappears. When you upload a photo, it stays on the forum. Thanks a bunch for reading this.
 
I wouldn’t consider BV an investment bag brand—the resale is terrible. Even the bag you’re considering: new at $2100 and being offered at $1000? That’s rough. And speaking of that, the price seems to good to be true. You wrote you had it authenticated but by whom? I’d use caution.
