The brand to turn to for exotic skins is Bottega Veneta. I have never been let down by the skins Bottega Veneta chooses for their bags, from leathers to exotics. When the Fall Winter 2010 collection went down the runway, I had a hard time keeping myself from actively drooling on my keyboard. Not only did I see gorgeous designs, but also there was use of color that worked perfectly for fall and winter while not being drab. One of the colors that immediately caught my attention was a rich hue of blue.
It just so happens the blue bag that I found myself yearning for was also designed in a gorgeous exotic skin. Welcome the Bottega Veneta China Soft Crocodile Fume Loop Bag to your screen. Gorgeous, right?
I have had the privilege of holding a soft crocodile skin from Bottega Veneta before. If you have not, pop into Bottega Veneta next time you can and ask to hold one of their exotic skin handbags. One of the strong points of the brand is their focus on finding the best skins available, clearly this bag showcases that. Even from the photo, you can see the quality of the skin used.
This style hobo is very familiar for all of us. In fact, this bag reminds me of the popular YSL Roady Hobo with its single shoulder strap. You had to know the price was coming next and you had to know that it would be high. Once available, the bag will be $35,000 at Bottega Veneta.
Wow! Took my breath away at first sight. Beautiful!
It’s insanely gorgeous. I’m not usually a fan of exotics but I love this bag. That hue, the slouch, the skin- they’re the perfect combination.
Dead. I am dead. That bag killed me. I died.
It also took my breath away…first when I saw it..second when I saw the price! Yikes!
Don’t look at the price…. I am trying not to as well 🙂
Love it but looks just like the YSL roady
Oh dear. I love that bag so very much. But I try to make it a rule not to spend that much on anything unless it’s a year of law school or has lojack.
$35,000! Wow.
Glad I got a black matte croc from Bottega a couple of years ago. I didn’t pay anywhere near that. Love the blue color though.
I love the color and the skin. I just love it. Unfortunately, that’s one bag I will never. Even at outlet prices it would be too expensive. 🙁
The bag is really drool worthy. But 35k.Too steep.
This bag is the stuff of dreams!!! *sigh*
loooove the color! great how they combined the crocodile leather with the blue color.
OMG! My dream bag! Love the color, love the style, have always wanted a croc bag! What I don’t love is the price! Maybe if I win the lottery but even then I would have to think long and hard on it!!
MA JOR. I love it, the texture and the color and everything is perfect. Of course in order to feel happy you have to ignore the price. I dream about a trend of embossed leather where there’s no bag more expensive than a car. Bliss.
It’s styled exactly like the YSL Roady, and the price is a joke. Who does BV think they are, Hermes?
That’s a major down payment on a home; a new car; tuition etc. That’s a lot of money to spend on a bag…I’d never, ever spend money on something that pricey to carry on my shoulder! Yikes!
The bag is nice but OMG those shoes are AMAZING.
OMG that is to die for!!! And compared to some of the Hermes Crocodile Birkins in the same price a bargain (HA!). Would love to own it but would need to win/inherit some serious cash first.
Simply beautiful
This is GORGEOUS!!!
I personally don’t like it. It is too “simple” for my tastes, nothing sticks out.
The price is horrendous.
This is just my personal opinion, though. 🙂
Whimper. But that price would buy a car, and I refuse to pay car prices for a purse. Sorry. I can drool and dream, right?
It is so much prettier than the grey gator LV Neverfull for $38 K.
Beautiful..and it’ll cost me my annual salary..almost …:(
Not a fan of exotic skins, but this bag is beautiful. If I had that kind of money, I would use it as a down payment on the townhouse of my dreams. As much as I love handbags, I couldn’t fathom spending that kind of money.
Love the color.
The bag is beyond gorgeous and the price is beyond ridiculous.
yikes the price is unbelievable but i guess the bag is worth selling a kidney….!!!
This bag is a dream/nightmare for all of us! Of course the price is nightmare for those who can’t afford it- the blue hue is perfect all year long..so rich and the skin looks buttery soft..awwww
This handbag is breathtakingly beautiful.
And there will always be a Victoria Beckham or Katie Cruise, who can afford it. Lucky them.
SWOON
…but the price
Seriously GORGEOUS!!!!
awesome bag but id buy a car instead price is rediculous
omgg dream bag
Love at first sight! gorgeousness!
my mom would die for this purse! She loves crocodile stuff! (ipad)
Yikes. I can buy a Lexus for the same price. (ipad)
I love it, and definitely looks like the YSL Roady. (ipad)
