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 :loveeyes: P.S. If anyone is interested my full unboxing is on my Instagrstories @whiterosesintherain

Is this color called "black & silver" or is it the Nero? Not sure if black is black with BV or with some have a glossy finish or a matte finish. Maybe it is just some stock photos that look different from others. But wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I love yours so much. I think it will be my first BV purchase!

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 own :heart:

That’s my exact sentiments. But yes I feel pretty strongly about my thoughts on the point bag. People also “fall in love” with a bag a lot of the time because it’s so over saturated on social that it’s almost like when you hear a song over and over and over again on the radio, in the beginning you might not have liked the song but after a million times it gets stuck in your head and then you find it catchy, ya know?

Why thank you! As far as the name of the color, it just depends what site your looking at. Mine is black & silver but “Nero” is just black in Italian so it’s the official name of the color of the bag. Silver is just referring to the tiny hinges that’s the only hardware on the entire bag. The black intrecciato is actually not quite as soft as some other colors and appears more matte than some, and that’s because of the color treatment process.

Thank you so much for the fast response! I have been lusting since January, and I feel like that is a long enough time frame to know if I truly do love something or not. Mom of three but-they are older now and I love clutches! I will probably get a Lott of use out of it I am hoping do to the fact this will be my first BV designer purse so I am hoping it can handle some extra love. Living in Montana there is just not enough "dress up" go out events... if ever! Ha! So I love that you can dress the bag down too.

Yes thank you for your IG account! it is beautifully curated ❤️

I actually find the bag looks best when dressed down! That’s the whole vibe imo. Goes with absolutely everything under the sun and looks effortlessly to boot! Also, thanks for your support :heart: It’s just something I started years ago to share my love of handbags, nothing too serious just my creative outlet.

I actually much prefer it to be perfectly honest. I feel the smooth is very 2019 and is overall going to look dated in the yrs to come. The intrecciato is much more timeless to the brand and it also gives a bit more interest when looking at the bag. Also, it’s MUCH softer leather for some reason. The only large pouch I like in the smooth leather vs the woven is the Mist color.

Thank you for your thoughts....all of my BV except my Cervos are intrecciato so the smooth is appealing, but i agree the weave is so classic to the brand its timeless. I keep finding yummy TM bags so i have not moved on the Pouch or Mini Jodie yet, but these are 2 DL styles i would love to acquire. That Nero intrecciato pouch is just gorgeous, and that will be the one for me too i think! Enjoy your beautiful bag :heart:

Oh! Thought I’d mention that I just ordered a Samorga organizer for my large black pouch! It will take a few weeks I think, but I’ll do a few review when I get it. As much as I love the floppiness of the bag, there’s times when it would be nice to have a BIT of structure on the bottom at least so it’s easier to hold. It shouldn’t change the overall causal shape of the bag whatsoever so I’m excited! I got mine in black felt of corse, but if I absolutely love it I’m going to order another in caramel.63EC0F1C-F878-4B10-BB16-3251088F97EF.png81D4BBFA-2B12-40AF-97B2-2F2DF7D4202D.png
