Bottega veneta bag - which colour?

51 replies

I love these handbags but torn with which colour? Either dark red or almond.

I love both, worried they red is a little tricky to match but worried the almond is perhaps not as special/stand out?

Thoughts please!

I like the dark red. I've a dark red bag, OK it's a bit darker than that one, but it actually goes with everything.

I think the red would go with loads of other colours, and it's more interesting than the almond.

Bloody hell though, OP - the price ....

ManOhNoBlahnik · 05/04/2022 23:32

Dark red.

@DramaAlpaca @ManOhNoBlahnik thank you both, I was drawn to that one too but was on the fence

I have the pouch in almond and it’s gorgeous - goes with everything.

Suzi9989 · 05/04/2022 23:46

Love love love!
I'd go for almond or green

Happy Birthday 🎂

@Suzi9989 yes I love the parakeet too but out of stock and don't see signs of it coming back

Red. It looks classy and stands out. Almond just looks run of the mill.
Happy birthday. 🎂

I actually like Kiwi too. But it does make it summery. Red will take through all the seasons.

@moonbedazzled agree - I love kiwi too but definitely cannot wear in winter and I like bags to be all Seasons to get my cost per wear down lol!

For £820 I, too, would want it to use it all year, probably for 20 years! 😂 But it is a really lovely bag.

Verite1 · 06/04/2022 01:04

Love Bottega - beautiful bags. Almond is my favourite - gorgeous colour.

Appleblum · 06/04/2022 01:28

Ooo I love it! Definitely the dark red! The leather on it looks so saturated and buttery. And yes dark red does kinda go with everything.

Gonnagetgoing · 06/04/2022 12:07

Oh dear. I love it! Sits on hands.

Between that and the Loewe puzzle bag I now have 2 options to think of for a treat!

Westfacing · 06/04/2022 12:14

Gorgeous in all colours! The red will look great with anything.

Salacia · 06/04/2022 12:46

Red. Red is a neutral. And you seem to be drawn to it and it’s supposed to be special!

KELLOGSspeck · 06/04/2022 12:53

I love the porridge shade

@Gonnagetgoing I have the Loewe puzzle in yellow and would highly recommend!

Almond

Wagsandclaws · 06/04/2022 14:27

I'm boring so I'd go for the tan colour if I were you but if I were me ( which I am ) I'd get the porridge colour as I could wear that all year round.

I do tend to wear light colours in the winter though and made the mistake of getting colour transfer from my jeans on a lovely new Tori Burch Kira round quilted bag which I'm gutted about.

Bottega on my list though - happy shopping OP 😉

Beebumble2 · 06/04/2022 15:21

I love their bags. I’d go for the red.

sansucre · 06/04/2022 17:15

Not usually a fan of the Bottega Venetia ’s cassette range but this style is beautiful, particularly in red. Well-priced too.

sansucre · 06/04/2022 17:17

Veneta, not Venetia, obviously. Bloody autocarrot 🙄
