The Veneta is one of the alltime classic bag designs, IMO. The leather just gets better with age and drapes to the body. IMO, this is the ultimate hobo bag.

What I would give to tour the BV workshop in Venice!

I have the Venata in black, and while is is amazingly soft and looks amazing, the shape is very impractical. The Venata does not have a flat bottom – rather the sides of the bad just meet in one center seam. All of my stuff just stacks up on top of the seam and turns into a giant mess. I love the bag but wish I had paid a bit more for one that had more user-friendly shape, like this one: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod45570092&parentId=cat3650751&masterId=cat000226&index=9&cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat000149cat000226cat3650751

Agreed. Woven bags are BV´s trademark and they master the technique. The more you pay for one of their bags, the better it gets.I ordered a clutch through NAP several months ago and the feel of it was divine. Then I gave it as a gift for my daughter knowing that she has more events to use it. I´m anxious to see what they come up with next..

I have the chocolate one, I waited for the Maxi size, for an easy fit over my shoulder
even with a heavy coat on. The leather is SOOOO soft, the patterned woven leather
so exquisite to see, and to touch. Well worth the years of use, all seasons,
and talk about a safe bag while traveling!

love love love it.

I like em too! But always thought they were too expensive. But I think I’ll have to see and touch one IRL soon. They are really timeless…
