Bottega Veneta Barcelona Cabat

I learned about the ultimate Bottega Veneta Bag, the Cabat, while in Venice, Italy. Between the bag being entirely hand woven inside and out, the four layers, and the small amount of artisans that have the weaving skill to finish this bag, the Cabat is well worth its hefty price tag. For spring/summer season, there is a new rendition of the Cabat, the Bottega Veneta Barcelona Cabat which features Platino Ossidato leather (a brown and bronze combination) on the large frame (17.6 x 7.8 x 12.9 IN). There are only 500 pieces of this version being made, and like the other Cabat’s each piece features an inside pouch numbered plaque. I have had a huge crush on this bag since I first laid eyes on it. I would even venture to say that it rivals a great Hermes Travel Bag. The problem is the price also rivals a Hermes Bag, and at $7250, it is just not as accessible to many. Pre-order through Bottega Veneta for $7250. Also shop Bottega Veneta through Saks and Net-A-Porter.

    ARE YOU INSANE?! BOTTEGA VENETA DOES NOT RIVAL HERMES! HERMES IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RIVAL, COMPARING IT TO BOTTEGA VENETA IS SPEAKING BLASMEPHY.

    I’m a Hermes lover and never truly understood the appeal of BV bags…until I saw this one! It’s absolutely gorgeous! Figures I’d fall in love with the BV that costs over $7000…

    Why does it cost so much? It seems a bit boring for over $7000. It doesn’t rival Hermes.

    Yes, BV does indeed rival Hermes. I saw this bag recently at the SF boutique, but was totally surprised at the color. It does not look platinum IRL…it looks gold. I had seriously considered the bag after seeing the picture, but was surprised to see the true color. Not, that I am against gold…but I’m more of an Ottone fan. The Cabat was well made, though.

    Reading the craftsmanship that was involved in creating this beautiful labor of love, would you not covet to have one by your side?

    I have been struggling over the idea of purchasing this bag for about 6 months. I have seen it in person and absolutely love it! I have saved up the cash to spring for it, yet am still contemplating. $5900 plus tax is a lot of money to spend on one bag, especially because the economy is so bad right now. I might feel guilty about the purchase. However, I might get over that as soon as I wear it…ugh! What do you think? Should I do it, or should I not do it? That is the question! lol I think about this bag all the time. The color and quality is tdf!!!! Any input would greatly be appreciated. Thank you very much!
