Veneta Like Hobo Coming Soon

[grietje]

I shared with the SA team I work with that I’ve noticed demand for TM-era bags—notably the classic Veneta hobo—is on the rise. He shared he’s been getting calls on if BV is still carrying Veneta hobos.

It appears BV is responding. Have any of you seen this yet? He shared they sold a large one recently so I guess they’re out there.

I remember seeing these in the FW 2023 show, and looking forward to seeing them in person. Then, I forgot about them until your post. Thank you for posting. I will have to see if they have any next time I'm near a boutique.

This is wonderful they are bringing the Veneta back. I confess i prefer the rounded edges on the original, but this version is beautiful too

I find the corners unappealing personally. And probably more susceptible to wear.

The squared off corners give it a modern edge and seem to align with the general aesthetic BV has these days. It doesn’t bother me.

I’m glad I have the old style veneta though. The old style is somehow a BV purist kind of bag. I believe the skin used on this bag is calf and I hope it wears well.

Thanks for sharing this news! I'm sure the newest designer wants to put some kind of individual touch on this new version...still, it's nice to see that the demand is being noticed. Also, good to see your posts in general, @grietje, as you are such as a knowledgeable person about BV.

I was thinking the same thing.

I do not care for this new shape in the larger size, but think it looks very nice in the smaller size. I'd like to see it in person, and maybe give it some time to see wear and tear before I add it to my collection. Meanwhile, I may look for some neutral TM era Venetas. I know they are getting harder to find without significant wear.

Apparently it is called the "Hop" bag.

I like the small sized one. I will have to see it IRL.

It seems to be a marriage of the Pyramid and Sloane but with a modern interpretation. My contacts at the Carmel boutique shared the small Hop is about the size of the medium Veneta hobo and the medium Hop is proportionate to the maxi Veneta hobo. The oyster color seems quite pretty and it’s on my list to ‘study’ when I visit Carmel in October.

The larger is very poorly styled. I'm sure it looks much better than that in person.

I have never found the calf to be very hard wearing (re-corner wear) because BV uses a fine and satin-y calf (beautiful) but it is fairly easy to refurbish.

The squared shape of the bottom reminds me of the old “Men’s Veneta” from like forever ago
It was in Cement with a caiman handle.

It’s a pity there isn’t a medium size. The large looks too big to be useful to me, plus I think the corners will bend out of shape. I still much prefer the old weave. Colours are great though.
