Official Bottega Veneta Pre-Fall and Fall 2017 Thread - post pics & discuss here!

I just made this the official Pre-Fall/Fall 2017 thread. The catalogs are out now, and the prices are back in, but the colors are not. Do you have any favorites, or items tempting you? I like the red knot, but am on ban island for the foreseeable future.
I would possibly kill for zabears bag...sorry, I may have missed it but does it have an official name?

May I know where can I find the catalog and price? Sorry if this is very obvious but I can't seem to figure this out.
 
I came home with this beauty today! I thought I was going to get a blue tote but then I saw this and knew this was for me! It's my first cervo bag. I'm not sure what the name of the color is- I would describe it as a greyish - dark taupe. It is wonderfully light like most BV handbags and like YellowLabKiss said above it looks like a cube in the store when fully stuffed but folds in quite nicely at the top when your belongings are in there. The black is beautiful too but I went with this greyish one since it caught my eye more. [emoji1]View attachment 3713306
I'm so in love with your bag. It's gorgeous! Do you mind sharing the price?

It was $3570. [emoji51] it was quite pricey especially considering that the small Roma which has a lot more detail is the same cost. But I just couldn't resist this bag! Super happy with my purchase in spite of the $$.[emoji4]
 
Okay, well let's post some pictures, shall we? :nuts:

BOTTEGA VENETA PRE-FALL 2017 COLLECTION

MILAN, NOVEMBER 21, 2016
by NICOLE PHELPS


Tomas Maier celebrated his 15th anniversary at Bottega Venetasimultaneously with the brand’s 50th in Milan in September. It was one of the season’s most moving moments, with Maier leading a clapping, teary-eyed parade of his design studio members around the perimeter of the Accademia di Brera, a Spring collection that showcased his classy, unflashy sense of luxury (evening dresses in cotton!), and Lauren Hutton sporting a reproduction of the BV clutch she carried in American Gigolo. About two months later, Maier was in New York yesterday shooting the label’s Pre-Fall lookbook; fashion slows down for no man, not even one who just checked off a pair of major milestones.

The warehouse in Long Island City where the shoot was taking place had nothing on the historic Accademia, but Maier’s new collection comes with persuasions of its own. Take, for starters, a series of 1940s-inflected dresses in muted pastels, pieced together from a patchwork of delicate prints, or featuring embroideries like beaded starbursts at the nipped waist and nailhead studs tracing the shadow of the neckline. Each one was an understated delight. Among the fluid, floor-length evening numbers in viscose jersey, the star was a graceful black dress with encrustations of Art Deco crystals at the shoulders. That black dress and a navy smoking jacket and skirt aside, the big takeaway here was color. A double-face cashmere coat reversed from burnt orange to brilliant ochre, zesty hues that were reproduced on jacquard outerwear and knits alike, and used for sharp leather tailoring. Arrayed neatly on racks, each look was accompanied by a bag and a complementary, but not necessarily matching, shoe. The impression was one of experimentation and play, the rigors of the collection schedule notwithstanding. Woven intrecciato shoulder bags with metal chain embroideries were new standouts.
