Bottega Veneta Barcelona Cabat

Bottega Veneta Barcelona Cabat

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 Neiman Marcus, 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.
