The Hop Bag

I just bought a large suede hop in a color I hadn’t seen before - “Mastice” - I’m obsessed! I went to Nordstrom to finish some Christmas shopping (plus shop for my bonus treat for myself 😇) and I wanted to check out the smaller suede hops - been eyeing the sterling color. But I absolutely fell in love with this beige-y grey, and the suede is so squishy and puddles so nicely against the body. Plus I can justify it a bit more since it can fit my laptop / double as another work bag. Loving the hop!
Very pretty- saw a similar color called "travertine" looks similar (maybe lighter but can't tell). Very pretty!

Thoughts on this shade in the large Hop? A lot less classier than black?View attachment 6107539
I personally love the Pinecone color. I’ve seen some TikTok’s lately of the Andiamo in this color and it’s so pretty. A beige/warm taupe. I think it’ll be the gorgeous in the Hop! BV does all their colors so well.
 
Love the color…Bottega anything is classy to me. I finally found a small fondant in suede and I can’t wait to get her. Love the large, but larger than my needs…I don’t carry a lot, I’ve tried the large so many times. Have you tried it yet? The black and fondant look smaller than other colors for the large size but that’s because it is so big….but it’s a cool vibe.

Bottega Veneta Intrecciato torn

I just noticed today that a couple of leather weavings on my 8 month old Hop bag are torn. I've uploaded a short video on YT, so you can have a better look at it.
I've seen BV weaving edges curled up, but not heard of the weave tearing.. Does anyone else have experience with this issue?
I'll be contacting my SA and hopefully we can find a solution.

Does anyone have the hop in suede fondant (the smaller size not the larger one) -I’m in love and it’s sold out everywhere but if it comes back I really want it. But curious how it wears…

Where are you? I got it yesterday from Cruise (Glasgow but they also have stores in England) - almost all bottega bags discounted between 20 and 30% in store at the moment (not online). It is absolutely beautiful but I haven’t used it yet. I have sprayed it with protector and I’m hoping that darker suede colour will be a little bit more hardy than light suede.

Hope they restock or you can find one!

Sharing photos of the wear and (literally) TEAR on my Hop bag that I've only used for about 7-8 months.
This is already the second defect I have with this bag.
Anyone else is having issues with this bag or is it only me?

See the tears on my youtube video here:

That’s disappointing! I haven’t seen or read of anyone else experiencing this, might just be a defect? Let us know what your SA says

Whaaat?? Omg you got the small hop in suede fondant at a discounted price?? I live in Pennsylvania but now I’m so jealous haha
Enjoy!!! It’s a gorgeous bag
Net-a-porter had one left and shoulda snagged it but I didn’t.

I got so lucky! I saw on the 28th and didn’t buy it, couldn’t stop thinking about it so drove back to the city (2.5 hours) in the hope that it was still there and it was!! Couldn’t believe my luck.

I did ask how they were able to discount when no one else was, the SA just said that there are some brands (Celine and Bottega to name 2) that don’t allow them to discount their bags online but they can do in store, although the price for classics/new styles will go back up. I paid £2049, discount from £2870. The large hop, the Jodie, the Lauren 1980 and the Andiamo were all discounted to some degree.
For those in scotland (sorry) - it’s definitely worth checking out Cruise in either Glasgow, Aberdeen or Edinburgh. I thought they had stores in England but it appears not. The only downside - Customer Service post purchase is awful and they only do exchanges rather than returns so don’t purchase without knowing you 100% want the item.

Well I live in the US, so that’s no possible for me :( but I’m so jealous and happy for you!! Share a pic of the gorgeous bag! Really kicking myself for not buying the last one in net-a-porter but I’m $4k richer at least without the bag 😂
