Shoulder bag

[moi et mes sacs]

Hello all, quick question.
the shoulder bag caught my eye. Looks like a variation on the original hobo but why is it so expensive?!

A very good question and one that I have no answer for.
Perhaps, because they can and that people will spend that much?
IDK...to me, it's insane!

I believe it’s made like the Cabat. By hand and with a double layer of Nappa. I’ve not seen it in person though.

It's certainly not woven like we're used to ... from the BV page

Small hobo bag in the signature seamless woven leather
• Seamless design constructed entirely by hand
• Unlined, interior is identical to the exterior
• Leather tie fastening

OK, I'm stumped here.
So, no zipper closure or magnetic fastening?
What do you do, tie it like a shoe?
It's hard to tell from the pictures!

From the pics I saw when it first came out it’s a tie to close. I love this bag just from the pics but the price is a serious deterrent. The mini cabat price went up almost 300 from when I got the petrol with wood suede interior to the espresso just gifted to me, but it’s still almost 500 lower in price. If the price wasn’t so sky high I’d be all over it. The website used to have a pic of the opening and you could see the ties, I think in pics of the larger size. If i recall correctly, the larger was in the 9k range in a dark green.

Thanks for your replies. It’s So pretty but I have older veneta that aren’t so different! Next time I am in town I will check it out! Report back when I do x

The problem I see in this bag is it looks like any other woven bag. BV's intrecciato set it apart. Now ... not so much.
