Just to touch on what has already been written...Hello, dear ladies.
Who can help me to find the year of this bag?
Thank you very much!
This bag is from Cruise 2011/2012 and was called the Dakar Shock Buffalo Nappa Leather Tote.
It retailed for about $2,100
To add to what has already been said...
The bag was colloquially known as the Boston Satchel/Bag.
I wish you great luck in finding one - you're going to need it. It was only produced for maybe two seasons which is unfortunate since I've always thought BV would do well to have an Intrecciato version of the classic LV Speedy 30.
The bag has since been reintroduced in a mini size.
If you are willing to hunt, try some of the Japanese resellers and/or Rakuten and search for style number 386496
You could also try calling the two BV outlets in the US (Cabazon and Woodbury) to inquire whether or not they have any leftover stock. Give them the style number above.
The did a similar style a few seasons back with adjustable handles ans a more triangular shape to the sides - it also had some kind of a pleat on the side edges. If you can't find one, you may be interested in hunting down the original Montaigne - a close relative, with adjustable handles but no shoulder strap.
Good Luck
Here are photos if they help.
PS: V0N is on Pacific Time dolls....

Yep, :slapping self in head: - Sunset = yellow, Shock = pink. I bow to you for observational skills after coffee. I hadn't quite finished my Diet Mountain Dew...Just to touch on what has already been written...

Thank you all so much for the help. I adore this bag and it sounds like I’ll have to be patient to hunt it down. Xoxo for all the advice and info!
I’m curious ladies... do you know if this Boston bag came in 3 sizes? I called Bottega and the person I spoke to said just the mini (which is the current size) but I know it came in a larger size that is about 14” wide....was there a Boston bag that was larger than that?
Thank you
Thank you

I like this collection, also other pieces.
Thank you!
I stumbled across this limited ed BV while randomly surfing online and i've not seen one like it. Does anyone have any information on it? Year it was released, name of the colours etc.?
I tried searching the reference library for more information but couldn't find any.
Thanks so much in advance!

This bag was from Spring/Summer 2008 and I think it's was called a Barcelona bag. I think it came in a couple of colours but not sure what colour the one is you posted. Maybe Marble.
I have requested for additional pics. Will post when i receive them. Thanks!
Thank you so much! It is a light blue with ivory/pink/green braiding.

Oh yeah, the colours... sorry I didn't see that the first time.
The accent colours would be (probably) Oleander, Colonial, Marmo, and someting else? I don't have catalogs but those are the colours I remember for that season off the top of my head.
