Big fan of Bottega Veneta jewelry, particularly the silver intrecciato pieces. Most pieces are innovative, well designed and finely engineered. The disparity between the original prices and secondary market prices is quite pronounced, which I would like to understand better.
Welcome! :wave:

Long time lurker and very sporadic poster here long before owning a BV was in my realm of possibility. But dreams really do come true because I'm slowly building my collection. I asked help from tPF BV experts in the authentication thread and they have been very nice and helpful. I figured it's time to introduce myself.

Hi! I'm reading a lot of old posts at the moment trying to learn a bit more. Funnily enough I've never been drawn to the woven styles but I'm in love with Fondant and now I want something in that specific color. I'm also waiting for the watch belt to become available online or in store.
