Hello, may i know if you received the bag?? I came across this bag too & not much info on it. Would like to hear your opinion on this. Size, functionality, is it comfy to carry, easy to access to things?

Thank you

Does anyone happen to have an info on this bag? [emoji4]View attachment 4174934View attachment 4174935

Hello. I took a picture of this bag I saw at a Bottega Veneta outlet in the UK earlier this summer. I live in the US. Now I can’t find the bag on the Bottega Veneta website or other websites that sell the brand. I know that the bag doesn’t have a specific name, but I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable people knew anything about this bag that might help me locate again. In case it’s hard to tell from the picture, it is a medium-large shoulder bag, and I took a picture of it in a chocolate color.

This bag is probably an outlet exclusive, not available in department stores or BV boutiques. It’s not a style I have seen “out there”. I think your best bet would be to contact one of the Bottega outlets now that you’re back in the US (not sure what part of the country you’re in). You could call Cristina at Woodbury in NY and either describe the purse to her, or ask for her Whatsapp # (if you have that) and text the photo to her. Her number is: (845) 928-4563. You could also contact an outlet closer to you if that’s more convenient.
Good Luck!

I don’t think it is an outlet bag
I think it looks like what we called the flap over bag
It is not in production any more
I think they stopped making it in 2009 or 2010
Probably why you saw it in the outlet

Hi, all! Would anyone be able to tell if this is New Light Grey or New Steel?

I’m leaning towards NLG, simply because my search for New Steel got me photos of it looking taupe-y in some shots... does anyone have the baseball hobo in either color that can compare, maybe the interior of that will help narrow it down?

TIA!

It would be New Light Grey. I believe this silhouette was discontinued before Steel made its second debut last season.
I don’t know that this style was offered in Ardoise, and it’s a bit too dark to be Shadow.
Steel in all its various namesakes is and was a true taupe.

Thanks, Von! As always, I’m in awe of (and very thankful for!) all that info in your head!!! [emoji4]

You’re welcome.
It’s not necessarily correct, and the only way to know for sure is to ask BV what the colour is. I think @muchstuff and @jburgh both have this bag in NLG. The one I have seen in person looks a bit lighter than your pics but lighting is everything.

Thanks for your reply. I do live in the vicinity of Woodbury, so I will check with them. Are Bottega Veneta outlet exclusives typically lower quality than their main collection? Thanks again for your help!

Lucky you!
The items Bottega Veneta makes for their outlets are made in the same atelier/factory as the full-price Boutique items. One of the main differences is that the majority of bags "made for outlet" have a cotton lining as opposed to a suede lining. The quality and craftsmanship is no different, really. I don't believe there are enough items produced every year (that go unsold, and thus sent to outlets), to keep the outlets full of stuff to sell. So generally, Bottega will often produce some styles that are available only at outlets. The Capri Bag and Pyramid are examples. They will produce such bags, belts, and SLGs (for example) in current colours as well as past season colours. You will sometimes find colours like Rosa Shock and other out of season colours being sold in the outlets.
In addition to the made for outlet bags, a lot of past season colours that didn't sell during that particular selling season can be found at the outlets. Bags in seasonal colours like Venetas, Gardas, Cestas, Romas etc. There are also a lot of seasonal bags that are sent to the outlets. Now, I don't know this for a fact, but I'm pretty sure some of the exotics I've seen available at the outlets are bags I have not seen in stores.
I know some of the staff at the outlets (not necessarily BV) like to tell people that certain bags aren't made for the outlets - but rather come from boutiques - but I'll eat my weight in cheese if they can show me a Capri Tote that's been sold in boutiques since like 2008
Hope that helps a little bit

*PS: there is a similar bag, like the flap that @septembersiren mentioned above, for sale on Fashionphile - in LIMO!

HI! I just saw this[emoji5] I am waiting to have the bag authenticated before I take off the tag...so I haven’t used it yet. I, too, could not find much info. It’s super cute though! I would like to know what type of leather it is...not sure how to find that out‍♀️

Dear ladies,
Can you please help me ID these two lovelies?

Thanks a lot!!

I just got my first BV (authenticated here and by all available evidence authentic) - the seller told me she got the bag at an outlet in Florida (the price tag she included from the store also supports that). It is a black new gen Montaigne with suede lining, so it's probably from early to middle of this decade? Do you think it could be one of the not sold at the boutique ones despite black being a stock and not a seasonal color? Thank you !

For the first bag... I'm not sure. I'm on vacation so I don't have access to the info I probably need for this.
For the second bag, it's probably Maroon (?) from, I think Fall 2012. It's lambskin (like the Violet Lambskin with PVC detail satchel that @Mousse has), and it's from the men's line of bags. It, like pretty much the rest of Bottega Veneta bags, probably did not have an official name and was most likely called something like Lambskin Messenger Bag.
