It’s funny sometimes

I actually went for the chain pouch although I tried to convince myself that the regular pouch is much more timeless etc pp
But I still always came back to the chain version. Anyway, here it is. Got it for a good deal in my local 2nd hand boutique

It’s such a weird and interesting bag. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling

Its a gorgeous bag! And the chain detail is beautiful. Its good to listen to your instinct, in the end you know which style will make u happiest. And trends really don’t matter. Even if/when its considered off trend, carry it and enjoy it. That's what all of us TM BV people do! We love the older styles lol
 
Thank you for the detailed review. Like you I’ve warmed up to a few of the newer designs, including this exact combo which is now definitely on my wishlist.

And no wonder your arm was sore! You have just about everything in that bag :lol:

In case you're interested, I recently saw an excellent condition Nero Intreciatto Pouch for sale on AFF’s website for around $2,300. It may still be available but I’m not sure.

Thank you! I am interested. And this, and the mini pouch, were at the top of my list. But i wound up buying a Cabat and a vintage MC LV bag today :lol: Its was an expensive day lolol. So i need to wait a bit. I appreciate the heads up, this one has a really nice shape to it and its a great price.

Hey now, you can always be like me and do a triple reveal with the Nero Intrecciato Pouch! :lol:

Yeah, 2022 has been an expensive year, but so worth it!

It's getting easier to find the Nero Intrecciato Pouch for around $2000 or less. I got mine in June from FP for $2075, in excellent condition. So you're not missing out if you need to wait a bit. :smile:

I’ve done too many triple purchases already :lol: :lol: :lol: And i am trying to sell more then i buy. I need to get my total bag collection down to a reasonable number of bags i can actually carry. Once i sell 3 bags i will pop on the Pouch i think. I did have a smooth one for a short while, but in Nero i much prefer the Intrecciato. I had wanted to get one new, but after the last few recent price increases, and the increasing supply of excellent condition preloved ones, its just not worth it. You got yours for such a good price. Too good not to get it preloved. More funds to put toward other bags:graucho:

I am now on ban island for a really long time :lol: I could not resist, and this pouch is now on its way. The shape was just so good. A lot i’ve looked at on FP lately, seemed to ne mis-shapen. So i thank you for the heads up! (My wallet doesn’t tho:shocked:)

If it's any comfort, you got a beautiful bag for way, way less than the current retail price (which will only go up). It's worth it for one in the exact shape and condition you want. Cannot wait to see your reveals!

I freaking love this whole look! :nuts:
 
Help. Opinions needed, especially if you have an Intrecciato Pouch! Mine just arrived, and going down the middle part of each side, is a very large and very noticeable crease. Its enough of a crease in the leather that you can feel it too. I tried to capture it in pix, and its visable, but it looks more pronounced irl. There are also creases on the bottom, in both directions. There was noway for this pouch to be folded, b/c of the frame on the opening. I’ve looked at a few others online just now and do not see this creasing, so i assume its not normal? Are they all this way? Or is this piece ‘damaged’. Just wanted to get some feedback before i send it back :sad: since its from AFF i will get docked shipping both ways.

Editing to add, I’ve just left a message for AFF, and since this is an undisclosed issue i should not be responsible to lose shipping costs imo. The pix definitely did not show the creasing on each side, nor was it referenced in the description.

Just hoping some folks can chirp in here to confirm, this creasing should not be here. I have too many BV Intrecciato bags to count, and i don’t think this should be here, and detracts from the bag appearance very much. Thank you for any input!

Just want to update, AFF returned my call and they were wonderful about it, i will not lose any shipping fees.

Still very interested to hear if anyone else experienced this, before i make another attempt.

A very seasoned and experienced BVette message me her thoughts, and it makes a lot of sense.

“I agree that it shouldn't be there; that's more of a stitch line, not a crease. Like there's a thread running around the bag between the lining and the weave and it's made that line where it's pressing into the leather. That's a manufacturing fault. This would have taken time to show up, and show up it did!

I just went to check my Nero. While less noticeable than yours, it has the same creases in the same pattern on the bottom of the bag. I don't see the creases going up the front and back of mine, however. It makes me wonder if they have to fold the intrecciato leather as part of the construction process. That is the only way I could see how these creases could occur.

On my Nero, the creasing is so subtle, I never noticed it until you posted photos of yours. I had to *really* look in bright light to see them. Perhaps the creases on mine have relaxed as the bag has been carried?

I don't have my Raintree with me, but I do not see any creasing on the front and back when I check my photos of it. It probably has the same creases on the bottom, but I do not have any photos of the bottom of it.

If you look at the Intrecciato Pouches on FF, it looks like a lot of them have this same creasing. So I think it's pretty normal. Now, whether you can live with it is another question...

Thank you for your reply and your input :)

I looked at different pouches too. None had the creases going down the sides, which i do not think will relax over time. You can feel the raised leather in the weave, down the crease line. Hard to explain, but its very different looking and feeling then creases in my older BV bags.

I did see the bottom line in some of the pouches, others tho did not have that line. Its very strange. I probably could have lived with a subtle line on the bottom, but its more pronounced in this bag then in the ones i looked at on FP. But its the very noticeable side creases i can’t live with. Its going back. Not sure if i will risk another :lol: i personally think its a design flaw thst should not be there,not in a 4500$ retail bag. TM bags have spoiled me:coolio:

This theory makes some sense, especially if the previous owner carried a lot in the bag, weighing it down.

That could explain it too. Weighing it down could have brought out the lines more. They are way more pronounced irl also, then the pix convey. I understand nothing is perfect lolol. But i have so many TM bags, and no matter the age, they are pretty perfect. And i have such a variety of styles, yet no design flaws such as this.
