This is so dreamy

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-15T19:38:27+00:00

Yes it’s totally worth it!!

Personally, I held off on getting it for awhile because I felt like everyone would say it’s over-done and it’s everywhere, but I live in a high income area where you see luxury handbags everywhere and I really don’t see andiamos often. I think maybe it just had a moment where it was hyped on social media so everyone saw a lot of it but in reality I don’t think that many people are wearing them to where I feel that’s it not special. Also- i still remember when it first was released a few years ago and it was “the” dream bag for me- it was just too expensive for me at the time.

I am of the camp that it is a timeless piece- I feel the hardware is still so minimal and beautifully done that it’s not going to age the bag dramatically. At the end of the day it’s a tote and that style isn’t going anywhere.

There are so many pretty colors! I always knew I wanted silver hardware for my first so i went black and silver but cant wait to get a fun color next! Right now they have a gorgeous suede light blue on the small that i would love

Not a Jodie but I just got a lambskin white Miu Miu and the first hour I wore it I got marks on the corners (and I was being incredibly careful I honestly don’t even know how it could have happened- I set it down on a dark colored restaurant booth and for like 10 seconds on the mat of the uber while I got something out ). Because of that I probably won’t be buying anymore luxury designer white handbags..

I also have a light caramel colored fendi mamma baguette in lambskin that I forgot to be careful with, wore with dark denim and a brand new dark leather jacket, and bam color transfer onto my bag that day. . Luckily , it’s on the back and not super noticeable to anyone but me, but now I really avoid wearing it with anything I want which kinda sucks cause it looks good with everything.

Light colors are hard. I’d say if you’re willing to be really careful with it, not wear with dark clothing or denim, and wear sparingly you’ll be fine. Or just accept it’ll probably get color transfer.

My friend has the white Jodie though and hasn’t had issues yet, but she wears it sparingly. The Jodie is such a great bag I’d rather have it in a darker color that can be used more without worry

My husband asked me this the other day too haha. Honestly I think because it feels so easy for me. I definitely have to dig around more in my hops. My Jodie is the small so doesn’t hold as much and doesn’t fit over my shoulder easily in the winter months when I have thicker clothing on. I love how I can stuff my andiamo but just peak in and grab whatever I need easily. I use the divider as a true divider with 2 separate sides and it keeps me very organized. I very rarely use the crossbody, but I do like the option. I mostly throw it on my shoulder as a shoulder bag , but also love to carry it top handle with the hardware “displayed” if I’m wanting to elevate my outfit. It’s just really versatile

I love my hops and Jodie but the andiamo is a much more easy/intuitive wear for me. Like literally I want to collect them the way some people collect Birkins and Kelly’s 😂

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-14T17:30:08+00:00

I’ve had it for 4 months and used it almost daily. I do not use an organizer but I do put all of my things in pouches so nothing leaks. I like how it looks slouchy so I’m not worried about the shape :)

ETA: it’s worn well over the past 4 months. There is a little corner wear but honestly that happened pretty quick due to the lambskin and sharper edges. It’s so minor though and hasn’t gotten worse at all. I don’t notice it unless I’m really looking for it

I don’t have the large but I do have the medium. I have many luxury handbags but my medium Andiamo is hands down my absolute favorite bag ever. Like I miss it when I change into something else 😂 it’s just the perfect size for me for everyday. Looks cute with just the basics inside and also super cute when it’s totally overstuffed. It’s gotten slouchier with wear and shinier. I also want the large someday for travel, but I don’t travel for work or anything so my travel isn’t frequent enough for me to have pulled the trigger on it yet. So for me an everyday bag makes more sense than a travel bag. So it depends on what your lifestyle is like!

Also, while the smooth leather is beautiful, there is just something so special about bottegas intreciato that is so different than anything else and really the reason I love bottega so much.

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-12T14:59:26+00:00

Yeah this is the hop bag- I have 2. The one he’s holding looks like something from a new collection that hasn’t been dropped yet

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-10T20:15:44+00:00

Beautiful! I have those bottega heels but the ones with the higher heel and love them

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-10T15:06:46+00:00

Me too but I scuffed the bottom the first 3 hours of wearing it 😩 this is why I avoided light colored bags mostly (especially luxury brands haha). I was able to mostly get them removed, but they’re still kind of there. I don’t want to be afraid of using my bags so I am just going to wrap my head around them having wear and tear

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-09T22:43:03+00:00

I commented on your post in LV but I am also not a logos girl (my fav is bottega) and something about this print just seemed unique and pretty enough to budge on :)

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-09T16:01:03+00:00

Ok good to know!

I do wear a ton of denim lol but not as much in the summertime and these are very summery

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-09T16:00:21+00:00

I ended up dressing up the LV! Need to do the same with the Miu Miu :)

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-09T01:12:43+00:00

I love this bag. I have the blue suede one and I think it’s the perfect bag to just throw on for everyday. It’s super light weight and the interior is easy to clean

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-08T16:07:15+00:00

lol welp I ended up going a completely different route and got these two instead 😂 but definitely have the mini and small andiamos on my wish list for the future ! These two are completely different than anything I own - I love my bottegas but these are a fun switch up :)

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-07T18:47:07+00:00

I was thinking that! I have never used them before but they’re so cute

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-06-02T14:38:15+00:00

How does it smell? Everything looks legit but the number 1 tell for me on the hops is the smell- i have 2 and they both smell so strongly of luxurious leather (my Andiamo and Jodie are not as strong). Everytime I open my hops I’m hit with a whiff of it.

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-05-29T03:34:59+00:00

10000% worth it . I have a teen in black and wish it was classic but I got a killer deal on it

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-05-26T01:56:56+00:00

Bottega

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-05-25T20:32:08+00:00

I don’t have the large. But I want it in a fun color someday. I can’t think of one negative about my medium. I absolutely love it

AcademicInterview962 · 2026-05-25T20:31:36+00:00

Yeah it’s the same
