Hello,
Can anyone please educate me on the type of this veneta’s leather? I believe it usually comes in lambskin and is smooth. But this leather has some texture.
TIA :smile:

It's a leather treatment called intagli. It's kind of like it's been laser cut but doesn't go through all the way.

Thank you! I was looking something in cervo or calf since I am not very found of lambskin because of durability.
Would the laser (Intagli) impact cervo learner’s durability in any way. I don’t think its perforated.

No. The design is not all the way through, only the first “layer”. It hasn’t been made in a while, so anything you find in it now will be almost vintage. :) If you find something in this treatment now and it’s been maintained I think you’ll be nicely surprised by its durability. (Yes, I’ve had bags in this treatment before - I’m a fan).

Hi all! I found this bag today and was wondering if anyone can help me ID it. I know it’s a vintage style and assume there’s no actual name for this. I’m assuming it’s 80s based on previous threads. Have any of you seen this one before? Which number is the “style” code?

I haven't seen this bag before, but I'm not good with vintage bags.
Probably from the 80s or early 90s and looks like the exterior is the Marco Polo treatment.
Style code is 03022 :flowers:

Hi!

I'd like to know the color of this mini messenger. I'm also interested in the season/year--it has cloth instead of suede lining. Just wondering when BV started using suede to line parts if the interior. TIA :wave:

This is the Disco (Mini Messenger) bag, and it looks like "Monalisa" purple. There should be a suede lining in the zippered compartment (at the bottom of the bag); that compartment was its claim to fame. I would say this color is about 2018? The bag would be mid-2000s, 2014 or so?

Thanks for the reply.

No, the zippered compartment doesn't have suede lining either--it has the same cloth lining as top compartment. This bag is only lined with cloth like the embossed mini messengers (example below). That's why I'm curious when BV started producing the intrecciato woven leather mini messengers...and when those bags started having suede lining.

Thanks for the color :smile:

Maybe it's from the outlet. Haven't been to one in a couple of years, but they may be producing this style exclusively in BV outlets now. They make bags in colours that sell well and don't necessarily follow with current boutique production colours. You might find (for example) Electrique or Signal Blue in outlets right now, even though the colour was done for the main boutique line back in 2014.

Thanks! I think it could be from a BV outlet. I'll search the forum for a thread about contacting BV outlets (I don't live near one). If anyone can post the link, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again @V0N1B2 :biggrin:
