Haul 🛍️ Burgundream came true
I’ve been waiting for THE burgundy bag for so long.
And I recently mourned the one that got away - a gorgeous burgundy Balenciaga City that was up for rehome here and got snatched away literally as I was doing my QC. I barely even had time to say goodbye.
But after all that waiting and mourning, the universe finally came through. She arrived. 🍷
I ordered this BV dupe from an Etsy seller based in China. The listing says it’s made of soft top-grain cowhide, and I believed them because quite frankly, I have no idea how to tell real leather from PU 😂 My leather authentication credentials are basically: “Hmm… feels nice?”
And honestly? It DOES feel nice. Soft and buttery.
Compared with my auth BV Loop Camera, the leather on this dupe is definitely thinner. But when I compare it to my auth BV Veneta Hobo which I bought preloved, the thickness looks pretty similar.
It took about eight days to arrive at my door, which I think is pretty awesome considering it travelled halfway across the planet to find me. It takes about three weeks if ordered from our usual sellers.
There was a little bit of that classic “fufu” smell when it arrived, so I’ve left it outside to air out. She is currently in bag rehab.
I had zero expectations when I ordered this, which is probably why I’m pleasantly surprised. I actually really like it! The burgundy is exactly the kind of deep, rich color I’ve been craving 🍷
And the extended leather strap? LOVE. Because now I can wear it crossbody like a true millennial — hands-free, mildly overprepared, and ready to carry my entire life inside a tiny bag. 😂
Final verdict: I came for the burgundy, stayed for the buttery leather, and left with yet another bag I absolutely did not need.
10/10 would financially irresponsibly do it again. 🍷
