Hi! I :heart: the TM era veneta and cabat bags! I wish Mr Lee had kept the Cervo
in his line but maybe I can still see if Cabats are occasionally being released in the boutiques since he reportedly likes Cabats?

You see quite a few pre-loved ones out there, lately I've seen several different leather techniques as well.

Hi there, OG here but am just recently having the urge for a classic BV bag. The only one I have ever owned was a mini cabat...love it but just too large and generally just use a light goyard when I need a tote that large. I am interested in a medium veneta hobo for my next BV or something similar

Age: north of 50... and that's all I'm sayin'
Gender: F
Resides: NYC
Occupation: physician--currently in med advertising///
Favorite brands:
- Bags Generally go for Chanel, Hermes, LV
Hobbies: fashion, working out (HIIT)
Favorite drink: Chai Masala tea, vanilla selzer water, red wine in the winter, Corona light in the summer
Favorite food: All types...definitely a foodie
Favorite TV show: Just finished Sneaky Pete and loved it...Guilty pleasures: RuPaul drag race, RHONYC, RHOBH
Odd things about me: Unfortunately I'm pretty normal...Capricorn and all
Current obsessions: always handbags and fashion in general

Hoping you can help me find the perfect BV!

Hiya :wave:
Helloradish here. Longtime reader, first time poster as I’m starting to get into the preloved market in a sort of post-pandemic panic buying spree as I realize that the Bottega I knew and loved is well and truly dead. Hunting through Fashionphile/Ann’s/Rebag for some proper BV bags has me combing through so many helpful threads from as far back as a decade or more ago… so I thought why not I’ll finally sign up and introduce myself!

username: helloradish
age: 30s, or, I grew up with dial up modems and Blockbuster
gender and location: Female on the east coast
profession: attorney, but the boring kind
current favorites: PBS and British murder mysteries, but also secretly 90 day Fiancé and Real Housewives; sourdough bread baking; nature documentaries; antique jewelry
Odd things about me: took classes on gemology during the pandemic to take my love of diamonds to the next level and am now on my way to a degree in that too!

Nice to meet everyone!

Hi, nice to meet you!
Sounds like you dive deep into things you love. The forum info for older BVs is vast but do hold on tight the BV slope is very slippery and goes for miles and miles.

Have me feeling like Alice about to go down the rabbit hole! :graucho:
I found the posts here so useful as a reader when I was starting to buy my first BV bags back in 2008 or so, and as I revisit them I find that they are just as useful now too. I wish I could thank so many of the posters who contributed back then! And thank you to current posters who are still stoking the flames of my love for TM era BV and also maybe making my wallet a little lighter too :heart:
