I love the idea of a clutch... my mom used to carry them all the time when I was young when she wasn’t using Doctor’s bags (now that I think about it, i don’t think I ever saw her carry a hobo or crossbody) so I always thought of it as “grown up” and sophisticated.

But not only does it not fit my lifestyle (2 year old to chase), I’m afraid I’d set it down and forget where I left it!

C471A1FB-D2A1-42FE-A5F3-32D0B61ACC92.jpeg Bottega Veneta was never a luxury brand that interested me or a brand I would purchase from...until Daniel Lee came along. I have turned 50 and yes I am a new (old ..haha..) customer to BV. I love the clean and simple look of the new Bottega. So much that I got my self The Pouch, and I love it! It is something new and fresh in my handbag collection, and I really did not need another top handle, shoulder or crossbody bag - I already got all that covered .
And for those of you that commented on the lack of handles - when I put it under my arm, I am actually handsfree - more so than with my top handle bags.

Yes - totally unstructured and logo free, just a whole lot of buttery soft calf skin! I’m in! #newbottega

I believe you misunderstood my post. The Pouch is fine, this is would I would be embarrassed to carry. But you are right, to each his or her own. That is why we have vanilla and chocolate.

And I was afraid I would be misunderstood too, so I deleted that part (english is not my mother tounge..) - sorry!
Now I see - Omg, is that a bag? I thought it was a bag charm :amazed:

I think my first official grown-up bag was an envelope bag; it had a zippered top and was a lovely shade of purple. I carried it, painlessly, in high school, until the finish wore off. Even after that, I kept it. So perhaps The Pouch is a form of 'envelope' bag with a different closure.

At any rate, I've carried my share of handle-less bags and this one doesn't attract me. Good for Mr. Lee, good for new BV fans, good for me finding the classics at a much more affordable price.

There's room for all of us.

Metallic Nappa Pouch in Oro

Also saw the new colour “Nude” in the Pouch 20. Loved it!
The colour, not the bag.
They had full size Nero and Poppy Pouches as well as a Pouch 20 in Nero on the shelf and the plain Pouch 20 with the crossbody strap in Blush was brought out from the back. Yet they’re sold out and there’s a waiting list.

Pouch in Nude. Wish it was a tinge warmer but it's a pretty colour. Credit to newbottega.
