Now, I gotta say, the whole Bottega Veneta thing? It’s kinda… a vibe. Like, you either *get* it, or you’re just staring blankly at woven leather going, “Huh? What’s the fuss?” But trust me, once you’re in, you’re *in*.
We’re not just talking about any old wallet, right? This is Bottega Veneta. You’re paying for that Intrecciato thing (that’s the woven leather, FYI). And while it *looks* simple, believe me, it ain’t. It’s all about the craftsmanship. Like, someone’s actually *sitting* there, weaving leather all day. I mean, imagine the hand cramps! Makes you appreciate the price tag a *teensy* bit more, doesn’t it?
I saw one the other day – a little bi-fold number – and honestly, it was gorgeous. Like, *actually* gorgeous. The leather was so soft, it practically melted in my hand. And that smell! Oh man, that new leather smell… forget candles, I just wanna bury my face in a Bottega Veneta wallet. Is that weird? Don’t answer that.
Speaking of prices… yeah. They’re not cheap. Like, at all. But hey, think of it as an investment piece! You know, something you can pass down to your grandkids. Assuming you have grandkids. Or even kids. Or, you know, just keep it for yourself and admire it. That’s totally valid too.
And the best part? They got wallets for *everyone*. Gals? They got the “Cassette” family, which apparently matches your shoulder bag. So trendy, right? Guys? They got the small bi-folds and zip-arounds. Classic. And then there’s the long wallets… for, you know, the *serious* money-holders. Or maybe just people who like a lot of space for receipts. I dunno.
Honestly, trying to find a used one is like trying to find a unicorn. Everybody wants one, and nobody wants to give theirs up.
