Veneta Comparison

Thank you so much, and my pleasure
I am pretty sure the newer version did not come smalller then the medium, & was only produced in those 2 sizes. As @Euclase mentioned in the other thread, Venetas had been around for awhile at that point and were waning in popularity as there were a lot of other bag styles that were becoming more popular. Plus hobos themselves were fading a bit in general at that point ……
The newer style medium you are interested in is going to be close in size to the old style large. Its a great size and you can definitely find some on the resale market….you do need to look almost daily b/c good condition Venetas sell pretty fast. The bag market is super slow right now though, and a lot of bags are sitting for longer periods, so now is the time to buy if you are able to, if you find one you love.
Ah interesting! I was hoping for a slightly smaller bag so it seems like my decision to purchase the old design Veneta medium was the right one! Now I can stop spiraling lol. In other news… for anyone who is interested, look at this beautiful new style Veneta with a price drop to $900! She’s beautiful!Thank you so much, and my pleasure

I'm jumping in with a bit more context at the request of @jbags07 . This was pulled from the Bottega "Hobo" Bag thread.Seasoned BVettes are very familiar with the Veneta, the various sizes and styles. But to those of us who discovered the Veneta post TM, its not possible to go to the boutique and view the various sizes. Sometimes its helpful to see the various sizes together before making a purchase. And b/c the Veneta changed in several ways in 2015/2016, it can be confusing to those unfamiliar (as I was), when they are scouring the internet for that perfect first Veneta. So i took a bunch of pix and labeled them (forgive the sloppy handwriting please), as this is intended as a purely educational exercise!
Old Veneta refers to the older style, prior to 2015/2016 when several changes were made. These bags have raw edges, flatter handles without the intrecciato weave, bottoms are more squared, and each is a tad smaller then its New Style counterpart.
New Style refers to the Venetas produced during and after the 2015/2016 season. The edges are sealed, giving it a more finished look…the handles are puffier and have the intrecciato weave extending up the handle…the bottom corners are more rounded in shape….and the bags are a tad larger then their old style counterparts.
BV experts please comment if I got anything wrong or forgot to add anything. As i sit here it occurs to me i should measure each bag…I can do that tomorrow and post the measurements. A lot of Venetas are not being labeled correctly on reseller sites. The New style medium in Sapphire I will post below, was listed for example as a large…the color was so pretty i decided to keep it, but its definitely a medium, as you can see next to Nero.
- TM was creative director of BV from 2001-2017.
- I don't know what exactly what year the Veneta silhouette was released; Looking back at the reference library, I think it was 2005-ish maybe. (I welcome corrections!)
- The non-woven-handle style was sold for 10-ish years (circa 2005-2014), and the fully-woven-handle was sold for 4-ish years (circa 2014-2017).
- Also my hunch is that the number of Veneta hobos that BV produced from 2014+ was relatively lower overall. BV started selling different hobo-silhouette bags that became quite popular too, e.g. what's commonly called the Loop hobo.
