The Cassette Bag!

[shesnaps]

Does anyone have this bag in the shade Maple? The store closest to me does not have the bag in stock so I’m not able to see it in person

I was wondering if it’s more Cognac or Orange in color, if it leans towards orange I would rather go with the shade Porridge which was rather stunning

Does anyone know what this bag is called?

It’s on the website. It’s new and called the brick cassette.

Thank you! It’s so cute, what does everyone think of this bag?

I love it and am interested in getting this myself (in the sage green maybe) over the cassette shoulder... just waiting for more mod shots

I am loving this bag and have been waiting for mod shots but especially youtube reviews so I can see what fits inside. I love the aesthetic of the cassette but am not a cross-body girl so I love the shoulder carry style and it looks roomy. I think the green and red colors are stunning

Would love to see some more pictures of the cassette bag for men, with the triangle buckle detail. Does anyone have pics of them wearing it?

I’m also curious whether anyone has the Brick style. It catches my eye anytime I browse bags online but I’ve found very few photos of it in the wild.

Hello everyone. I'm about to purchase my 1st bottega bag.
I'm eyeing this bag from a reseller. I have never seen a bottega cassette bag have brand name stiches on the strap.
Does any one know which season is this cassette bag?

Hello @jungdohmin, previous seasons (I'm estimating around 2019ish) had the brand stamp on the strap, mine did. However, this looks like a suspicious "cassette" to me. Only the padded versions had the stamp, of which this is not, and only the padded versions has the triangle buckle. The bag has the key features of the padded, but none of the padding. It looks too flat to me and I personally have never seen it in this leather treatment. Even the dustbag looks off. I have both "old" BV and "new" BV dustbags and this one doesn't look right to me. I would be weary of purchasing IMO. I'm sorry that my feedback is so negative!

Hi, I got my Padded Cassette three months ago and I’m experiencing two little issues. the edging/bonding of the bag is cracking and one little part of the lambskin is quite brittle. Is this to be expected after three months or should i take it to the store?

looking forward to reading your opinions!

Three months is no time at all for a bag at this cost. I would certainly take it back to the store; for the cracked lambskin they will be able to freshen this up immediately with leather conditioner they usually keep in the store. If not they can send it to the atelier to freshen up. My padded fondant cassette was soaked in a London thunderstorm and the leather did not crack at all. As for the bonding, after only three months surely this cannot be "wear and tear" but BV reps (as with all luxury houses) will try to label it as such. Sooner they see the issue the better.

Hey thanks for your reply.
Yeah this is not a padded version but the men's cassete bag have this triangle hardware. I never saw a non-padded cassette bag that have stamp on the strap but seller said it's from older season. Here's some more photos.
Really appreciate if anyone can ID this bag for me.

by the way, there is a new small size version of the padded cassette (15 squares), anyone has seen it in stores?

Curious about the denim Cassette either in the older crossbody (Indigo or denim washed) or the new Brick Cassette. See photos of three bags. I know the Brick Cassette is newer, but if anyone can comment on the wear of the bonded cotton of the denim or indigo wash on either the original style crossbody Cassette bag - padded or regular - or the new Brick Cassette, I would appreciate it. (I have three other BV bags, all leather, so I am unfamiliar with BV's cotton). Thanks for any info on wear like pilling and on and around edges/corners, etc.!
