I have this bag in Absinthe. It's a deep bag but the colour is gorgey. there might be a pic of it in the what fits in your BV thread.
I believe I've heard this bag called the Cervo Ottone bag.
It's from 2008 or 2009 I think.
Literally Ottone means brass. Ottone is also a Village in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. In my opinion, Ottone is one of BVs best metallics done in goatskin. I never realized that it also referred to a BV bag style.
Thanks so much. Will check out the thread.
Edited to say I found your post and it looks awesome! Thanks for pointing me in that direction. Have now bought the bag (preloved) and will collect on Saturday. Hurrah!

Maybe it got that name from the brass buttons/studs that hold the handles on? Although to be fair they are more gunmetal than brass.
I really don't know.
I remember when I bought mine I was looking to see which other seasonal colours they were offered in, as I had briefly considered the hobo style in, I think it was Caramel. Or Cinnamon? Can't remember, it was quite a while ago.
Seems that a few retailers/sellers refer to the bag by this name. I guess it's much like the "Bella" and the "Pillow" bag.

Will this be your first BV then?
It's a pretty big bag but it's actually fairly lightweight - of course depending on what you're used to.
The colour looks pretty from the photos. Congrats

Yes. First BV. I'm very pleased as I think the price was right (US$550) for a bag of this size and seller says the condition is good. Will see on Saturday. I like large bags as I carry a lot of stuff with me every day. I'm hoping this will be a good work bag.
I never used to appreciate BV but more recently I can totally see its appeal! Especially the more unusual bags like this one. The colour looks lovely too.
Here is the tag photo. I see year as 2008 but any other info would be gratefully received!

YAY! We're bag twins! This will call for a walk-off - Zoolander style
Absinthe was a Resort 08/09 colour and was carried over to Spring 2009 if I'm not mistaken (which I probably am
) IMO, Cervo takes the colour/dye much nicer than the Intrecciato bags. I feel like they are richer and have more depth.
I think you'll like it for work. It fits over the shoulder if you don't have something super bulky on. I can fit all my stuff plus my (full size) iPad in it although I usually prefer to carry business things in a separate tote.

Ooooh!!! Bag twins with you?! Woop! I feel honoured.
Glad to hear it fits over the shoulder. I live in a very hot and sticky country so usually only in a thin cotton top. I need to carry a few pouches, purse, keys and maybe the odd iPad but nothing more. Sounds perfect. I just love that colour.
