I’m a sahm looking into buying the cassette bag in leather. To the ladies that own this bag do you think it’s a good everyday bag that will look good with very casual day wear? Any advise would be greatly appreciated
 
I’m brand new to BV. And shop 100% on line. Is this bag/chain as heavy as it looks?View attachment 4952365
It’s heavy. Not outrageously so but if you prefer light/medium weight bags, it’s not a good option. Have you held the Gucci Dionysus in person? I have that in the small size and The chain cassette is even heavier than the Dionysus (which I’ve seen people complain about on here too). If you live near a Saks, most of them have a Bottega booth - I bought my cassette online but went to try it on at saks (since I feel more comfortable trying bags on there than at the actual boutiques).

Have you all seen the major price increase of the padded version? There's a few on selfridges, 24s and maybe a few other sites at the previous price. If you're looking to get one soon, get one at the old price before they change it. They went from £2000 - 2300 this week!
 
holy smokes!! thats crazy! if anyone uses selfridges make sure you also use jewel for cashback, they have 6.3% cashback!

did the chain pouch go up in price too? it looks like it's $3690 USD now, but i cant remember what the price was before. Ive really been wanting to get the chain pouch since i love my chain cassette...might have to do that sooner rather than later lol
 
I started a thread for my new Cassette, but wanted to add my bag here too:

I've fallen in love with the kiwi suede, but I worry about the suede getting ruined and the chain being so heavy. What to do. Also love the plaster color...Anyone had trouble with color transfere?View attachment 4900451View attachment 4900453
I have that same exact bag in plaster and I do have a slight color transfer but I don't mind it lol I have used the bag a lot lol
 
Anybody use a bag organizer for the bag? Have seen some sadder looking unpadded cassettes in the wild, and wondering if it might be worth it to get an organizer so it keeps its shape more.

Also, I've noticed some glazing issues on the strap -- seems to be peeling :( wonder if anyone else has any of these issues too. Thank you!

Hi! I have the non padded since February 2020.
No problems with glazing at all. Actually, my bag still brand new.
About the organizer, I never seen one for the cassette. I think the problem with the shape that you mentioned is because when you overpack this bag, it does looks weird.. but if you keep light with the basics (phone, wallet, hand sanitizer, keys and other small item) will be fine.
