Purchased a used Veneta off constylement.com

Oh, I've seen an ebano mirror popped up on eBAY a couple of times.
You could also try that.

There is one up now fromsomeone who sells alot of BV with great feedback, but $75 seems a bit steep but I'm not sure what they go for. Depends how bad you want it. Here is the link:

yay!! I'm so excited about this! Just received the tracking number and it should be here in 3-5 days! Boxermom, you're the best! What do you mean about "having enough posts" though?

yep--I saw that. Not sure I want to pay $75 for something I may lose easily. Maybe she'll let it go for less, hm.

Yay! I picked up the mirror for a deal--I'll post pics when I've got my "set" all nice and together. Thanks ladies! Never expected such support from a forum. Must be the love of purses, right? Lol!

That's great! I've only seen a BV mirror for sale once or twice so it was meant to be.

Yep, we love purses, Bottega Veneta in particular, and love the people who come here, boinquo

Boxermom, we are all living in very different times now.

It is nice to know that people still know how to share and give and yes it is

a dustbag but nonetheless you reached out and made it work.

Good for you!!

So happy it worked out. Our forum has very nice people.

[boxermom]

It's so soft and supple. I found myself petting the leather today. Do any of you ladies know how long the leather takes to get shiny and great like this? I remember the venetas in the stores looked more matte, and slightly darker.

The more you use it, the more the patina will develop.

Enjoy it!!

Yes, yes, yes! They get better in time. Vintage bags that have been well cared for are like silk.

boinquo, your Veneta is beautiful. Congratulations!
