Ladies! What is this purple thing? I am just curious as of why it is so “inexpensive” by BV standards?

I think it is the iron bag which is really a make up bag
It can be used as a handbag
It’s known as a Pillow Knot Hobo, and is available exclusively at the Bottega Veneta Outlets.
Looks like Violet Nappa to me.
EDIT: I think there is also another name for this bag but the names escapes me at the moment.

@septembersiren, @V0N1B2 , thank you both so much! Based on the price and cotton lining I figured it was an outlet model as well

I am very intrigued by this pretty iridescent thing on the bay!!! Is anyone familiar with the style and color??? Is there really a color shift? And it says messenger, but is it a true crossbody that sits low enough? And is it one big compartmen inside, or several?

I don't know what colour it is, but it's from Early Fall 2010. The colour also came in a few other styles like a three-folded clutch and tote style bags with external pockets.
The colour is iridescent and yes, has an almost degradé look to it.
There is one compartment inside.
The straps are adjustable so you can lengthen or shorten them, and you should be able to wear it as a true cross-body bag.
Have a boo in the Fall 2010 thread in the Reference Library - there might be some info and/or pics of the true colour and iridescent effect of this bag.

Thanks!!! As always, I bow down to the knowledge and memory! [emoji4]
I looked at the fall 2010 thread and found the green iridescent “boob” bag, also searched the messenger thread. Found a brown iridescent as well but couldn’t find purple. Unless this is brownish purple? Either way, so pretty! And so tempting. ☹️ haven’t had time to fully enjoy Greg just yet...

That's the name I think Bottega Veneta gave to that bag.
I knew I would remember it eventually

I have a metallic goatskin bag in Matita and it gives off kind of a purple-ish cast sometimes. The colour code for the bag pictured is from neither the brown nor the purple family (technically). BV does love to mess around with that stuff though, just to throw me off
I have seen the Scarabee/Scarabeo colour in person but I have never seen that particular "Beetle Brown" colour so I can't say with any certainty if it's a true brown. I think it probably gives off a mauve-y cast just due to the fact that it's iridescent - the way the "sparkles" hit the light. I think a lot of those iridescent bags were Vitellino Lisse leather.
Someone with Fall/Winter 2010 catalogues could probably identify the colour for you though.

I went through all 81 pages of the 2010 FW thread and found a photo with it, but no info on color/leather.
I may start a separate thread asking if anyone has a FW 2010 catalogue... I honestly wasn’t looking for another bag so soon after scoring Greg, but I can’t this out of my head. I think I just need more info on it and I can get it out of my system. Maybe. [emoji23]
