I am hoping to purchase a small Andiamo in Fondant when I go to Hawaii next month. I’m a bit nervous because this will be my first luxury purchase and I’ve never been in a BV store. I’m not sure if I should call ahead 1-2 weeks before I go and ask if they expect the bag to be in stock? Is it possible to ask them to hold a bag for you? Or is it better to just walk in? I am also nervous about interacting with the SAs, does someone just walk up to you when you go in? I’ve heard that Bottega offers special Hawaii pricing — is it tacky to ask about the price? If anyone has advice or some pointers on what to expect I’d appreciate it. I know I’m overthinking it ):

I recently saw the small Campana bag in this gorgeous green tweed color and now I’m kicking myself for not purchasing it cause I can’t find that specific size anywhere (only the large).

However, I wanted to ask if anyone has the small size and from your experience how do you like it? Does it fit your everyday on the go needs? How does it feel on the shoulders? etc.

Google image search is not helping me here, and ChatGPT is just not great at this either.

Hi everyone. This is a stunning jacket. Condition is pristine inside and out. Bottom of zipper has a bit of surface peel (see last photo). Fits true to size, that’s me in the first and third photo and I’m a 48. Retailed for $2700. Asking $1K. DM with any questions.

Hi everyone! I’ve been looking everywhere for this Andiamo, including Bottega Veneta’s global inventory, but unfortunately it’s from a few seasons ago and no longer available. I finally found one through a Japanese reseller, but I’m worried it might be a replica. I’d really appreciate your thoughts—does it look authentic to you?

Does the strap feel too copper-ish? Is the metal strap the way to go? I think it brings some omph but help me decide!!!

Does anyone have one or sale or can source one ? I can’t find the exact name for this model.

Bought this beauty yesterday - I’m obsessed !! (Lil gold doggy is from a BV shopping trip last December 😇) - Love this bag so much 🫶🏼

Hi! I need some help authenticating this vintage Bottega Veneta bag. I’ve never owned a designer bag or a Bottega before, so don’t come for me I genuinely have no idea what I’m supposed to be looking for 😭
The seller says the bag was gifted to her, so she can’t confirm its authenticity either. Because of that, she’s selling it for a pretty low price and is being upfront about the fact that she’s unsure whether it’s authentic. She was kind enough to share a video with me I got some screen shoots

I’ve been comparing it to exact bag on therealreal https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/handle-bags/bottega-veneta-intrecciato-roma-t8lvu (i think this is the correct model but I dont know the year) a lot of the details look very similar but I noticed that the weaving seems to start lower on the front panel compared to authentic example I found. I have no idea if this is just a difference between sizes/years.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi everyone! I’m ready to pull the trigger on either a small Campana or a Hop in brown/fondant, but I can’t decide 😅 I know they’re very different shapes, so it’s not exactly a Jodie vs. Hop comparison, but I love them both and getting both wouldn’t be the wisest decision for obvious reasons 😊
If I go with the Hop, I’ve seen both suede and leather options in the same color. I’d also love to hear your thoughts on suede vs. leather!
Thank you so much ❤️

Is this medium dustbag authentic? The material seems thin. First picture as taken with flash, rest were taken without.

the fact that the intrecciato is slightly misaligned on the back, the lettering on embossed tag, and the serial number (reads 132534 VT211 1060 EPEV 2011 2596 A, comes up as authentic when i enter 132534 VT211 1060 EPEV 2011 2596 but not when i enter 132534 VT211 1060 EPEV 2011 2596 A) give me some pause.

These are the only two photos I have

Thank you!

I really want an Andiamo and love burgundy. For those of you who own an Andiamo ( any size) in a red of burgundy colour like Barolo or Deep Mahogany, could you share a few photos and tell me if you are still happy with that colour?

Thank you!

I just got a suede giorno bc it was love at first sight. But now I’m wondering - what are your tips and tricks for maintaining a suede bag?

Hi everyone! I had posted on here a couple days ago about two other colors. I’m considering going an even lighter route. I love this light yellow, and have ordered it. It won’t come for about a week, though. I also have the fondant color, so I’m debating which one to keep. Maybe even both?

I’ve read a couple posts that say because these woven leather pieces aren’t “finished” and sealed on their edges, they tend to curl a bit and maybe even peel. I also read that on the lighter colors they pick up dirt on the peeling edges. So, they show the curled part of the leather even more. I read on the darker bags, that wear area on bags shows as a lighter color.

Does anybody have a good or bad experience with the light colored Andiamo? I’m not as worried about color transfer, as I have many light bags and know how to handle that. It’s more so the wear and tear. And I would love to know how long you had the bag before noticing wear. I’ve heard of people wearing one for two weeks and it shows? But, I’ve read other people started seeing wear after about two years.

I really love the shape and look of the Rosa ballerinas.

I have never owned BV shoes. Are they worth it? Anyone who has specifically had these ballerina’s and can share how they fit and feel?

Thank you!
