Bottega Veneta “Sardegna Canvas Tote”

A friend of mine told me recently she would like to buy a bag in a yellow or some other vivid color for the spring season. We discussed the Marni Baloon Bag, which she thought looks great and which would fit her criteria perfectly. I couldn’t disagree, but I have to say the price of that bag is pretty high compared to some other interesting bags in the same style.

Anyway, having had the Baloon bag constantly on my mind after I have been listening to my friend blabbing about it for the whole weekend, it’s no wonder that this one caught my eye. Don’t think I haven’t seen it before, I did, it just somehow slipped my mind. Well now, I guess, is the time to share it with you.

Since I started this post as a sort of a comparison between this bag and the Marni one I might as well continue in the same spirit. For almost half the price of the Marni Balloon you have a premier designer piece with “eternal” written all over it. It’s made of a durable canvas we have seen on many BV bags and comes with beautiful brown leather handles which put any doubt aside. Just don’t fling it down whenever you get to the beach and you’ll be best friends with this bag for many seasons to come, which reminds me… This bag will look as beautiful in ten years carried by your daughter as it will when you take it out with you this year - it just has that timeless appeal to it. It’s a solid investment from which ever angle you look at it.

The interior is left without any pockets or compartments, which can be somewhat inconvenient, but it’s a summer bag and doesn’t aim to be anything else - no compartments, no pockets or slots - just fill it up and you’re ready to go.
