enjoy in good health!
So I splurged and treated myself to something for my upcoming bday in a few weeks, and it’s a bag that I’ve had on my wishlist for the past 7 months. Finally pulled the trigger! Here’s some pics from the boutique, any guesses?!.... p.s. nothing with a chain as we all know how I feel about that lol
My guess is either one of the triangle bags or a large pouch! What did you get???
I asked my followers on my stories to guess what bag I bought and they almost all guessed the point lol so I’ll share my thoughts on that bag and why I don’t think it has much staying power. Also doing my reveal later today so you’ll soon find out!My guess is either one of the triangle bags or a large pouch! What did you get???
I completely agree with your assessment of The Point. Since we're on The Pouch thread, I'm guessing another large Pouch. I think you may have gone with Racing Green, but then again, Plaster is a really great spring/summer neutral. I'll go with either of those.
Plaster was in the running! I held it for quite a while before deciding that in my experience, lighter colored intrecciato bags don’t hold up as well over some time. I noticed that with my Ice Jodie after 6 months or so. The edges start turning up a tad and it’s more noticeable than the darker colored ones. Plus, I just got the Ice cream mini jodie which is so pale I felt I didn’t need another light bag.
So here she is! My black beauty I’ve been wanting for what seems like forever. It’s not the latest Bottega bag, but I knew how much use I got out of my large caramel pouch and every time I saw someone with the black intrecciato I just swooned. Some may think it’s funny that I chose to get a black bag just before summer but I really don’t care about following style rules or wtv, I just beat to my own drum; always have always will. I also figured I have so many colorful Bottega bags that why not go black right?! This is such a timeless piece that when it’s no longer trendy, I hope that some lady (who knows nothing about fashion) stops and asks me if this a vintage bag that I got from my mom. That’s how I’ve always envisioned the large pouch, a perfect simple oversized clutch from the 70’s. Though maybe the black has a bit more 90’s grunge in there 
P.S. If anyone is interested my full unboxing is on my Instagram stories @whiterosesintherain

Yea the strap, although removable, is such a vibe killer of the whole look. It’s too thick/awkward personally. I think Bottega is pushing the whole triangle theme a little far. The zippers, the hardware, the packaging... we get it.

thanks for sharing your instagram, i've been wondering
Yay! you finally got it! I was going to guess triangle bag at first as well, but everything you stated about your opinion on the bag was similar to my reserves about it. Your black pouch is a forever piece in my opinion. I always thought the black had an understated elegance, but can go 90s grunge as well. It's a piece you can make your ownSo here she is!

I "dust" mine off from time to time, but no special leather treatments. I have an OG Bottega (medium veneta) in tourmaline, I have never treated and it still holds up. I do not think these bags are high maintenance, but if anyone has a different experience, please let us know.
