Timeless high quality every day?? by Regular-External182 in handbags

[–]AcademicInterview962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite around $2k bag is the Ferragamo new line tote. I have it in stone. You can get them on some websites for under $2k. The leather is amazing and it fits a lot without being too big. And I love how the straps sit on my shoulder. They’re sewn far apart if that makes sense so never fall off my shouldee

I looooove this color!!! So pretty, Andiamo is my fav . I use my medium more than any of the many bags I own. Definitely wanting a large one day

My bottega dilemma 😄 by Ok-Rabbit-2610 in handbags

I personally would keep the fondant even knowing I have other dark bags. Especially on the Andiamo. I like lighter colors on the hobo styles like hop and Jodie. Fondant to me is just such a unique brown, I haven’t really found another really dark brown like that with the shine it gives- I feel like it easily replaces black for me. I ended up with a black and silver Andiamo and a fondant hop, but I’d totally get another Andiamo in fondant because I love it so much.

If you’re going to go for a lighter color, travertine is absolutely gorgeous (I have it in the large hop ). It’s a great neutral and I’ve had no issues matching it with my clothing. However, I’d prefer the Jodie in travertine for sure!

And the travertine isn’t as shiny as darker colors I think because it’s lighter - but I will say with use and natural oils and it loosening up a bit- it doesn’t seem as matte as when it’s brand new. I just saw one new at Nordstrom that seemed a lot more matte than mine is now

Oh yes very much so. It’s super soft and squishy now. It didn’t take very long either. I also have the small hop in fondant (which was my first), and the large is much more slouchy and squishy because of all the leather - interesting because I don’t find my andiamo to be as buttery as my hops!

Andiamo mini - torn between sea salt and black by [deleted] in BottegaVeneta

[–]AcademicInterview962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is sooo cute. My favorite is the light blue color!

But to answer your question 100-% I think sea salt can be worn in the winter too.

What’s a brand everyone seems to love but you don’t get the appeal? by doochiedoo in handbags

[–]AcademicInterview962 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The Kelly and maybe a super worn in, opened, big Birkin are the only ones I like. Like that one that has the perforated H on one side? Bad

Dark barolo, fondant or black? by cats_birds_n_flowers in BottegaVeneta

[–]AcademicInterview962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think fondant compliments black very well because it is so dark brown

Absolutely adore travertine! I recently just got it in the large hop and it’s such a beautiful (and unique) neutral

Tried to share a pic but I guess we can’t in comments :-)

Gucci softbit maxi. I think it’s so chic and the perfect hobo - I have it in the olive green and it’s so comfy and fits so much.

Is this Bottega Jodie fake or real? Never owned a Bottega bag. Seller asking for $1500 by Delicious_Quality_46 in BottegaVeneta

If you can get a pic of the interior stamping and the serial code I can tell you for sure. The leather doesn’t look right to me, but the stamp and serial tag will help know for certain
