The Cassette Bag!

[tinkerbell68]

I am thinking about getting my first bag and I can’t decide between no chain and with chain. If anyone has some insight I would love to hear it

I'd agree with @vanillacherry I purchased my cassette without the chain for a trip to Paris in a couple of weeks. I wanted something cross body and light as I imagine I'll be walking miles every day. It holds all the important stuff, is light, and if absolutely beautiful!

I shortened my cassette by threading the strap around the bag. Seems to work well except the strap doesn't line up properly but overall is ok.

Great idea! I have a flat in white, but want shoulder not cross. Thanks for the tip❤️

IMHO So much lighter and easier to wear without the chain.

I was browsing on the BV website trying to figure out whether or not to buy the Cassette. Stunning bag and would likely want it in the color Caramel. Question though - how is the magnetic closure? Is it better than the old closure where you pull down and up?

It’s a pull down and up magnetic closure. I want to get one too and tried it on at a store.

Hi All, for any one who owned this bag longer than 6 months do you think bag wears badly !? Any noticable wear and tear !??

Mine is in plaster (off white) and I use it very often since I got itand it has held up so well. I’ve had mine for at least a year or longer.

I’ve had my cassette for over a year now and it’s held up so well! Funny enough I also have the plaster colour and have had zero colour transfer. The lambskin is still buttery soft and squishy!

I found an excellent pre loved one that is made from paper calfskin. How does that hold up compare to lamb skin?

Would anyone mind sharing what were their decision between the padded and non padded? Considering the price difference I'm having a difficult time choosing!

Hi. I have both styles. Which colors are you considering?

Black I've also heard it fits a lot less than expected!

I bought the nonpadded black and did not consider at all the padded black because I personally felt that the nonpadded version is less trendy with greater longevity, and I felt that the padded version looked unflattering for a lot of people that I saw wearing it around town because it's bulky. I have no doubts about this to this day. I don't carry that many items, and so find it okay for my needs with a small wallet, lipstick, hand sanitizer, reusable bag, and +/- sunglasses in its pouch. I even bought a bag organizer for it because I didn't have any issues with space, but again, I don't carry very much. I've worn it while biking around town and as a clutch to nice restaurants. It's a great versatile bag!

I would recommended going in store to try them out and see what works best for you!

I purchased the non padded in linoleum (beautiful color) for a trip to Paris. I did find that it holds less than I expected…I definitely played Tetris to carry my passport, small wallet (Hermès Calvi), sunglasses in a soft bag and a small pouch with chapstick and some wipes. I made my DH carry the keys!
