I used to associate black and blue with bruises, but going forward I will always think of this stunning Bottega Veneta Knot clutch instead. Leave it to Bottega to know exactly what I adore and design it in a way that has me going gaga. We have discussed their Knot clutch ad nauseum and my two favorite renditions have been their crocodile version and their intrecciato metal version. But now I have both in one place and that feels like Christmas came early.

With the perfect touch of sophistication, the Bottega Veneta Crocodile and Intrecciato Metal Box Clutch integrates textures and colors in a completely fashion-forward combination.

 Bottega Veneta never disappoints. I realize that’s something of a strong statement, but I honestly can’t remember a time when I’ve looked through the handbag images from a Bottega show and thought, “Eh, these are ok.” The bags are always utterly luxurious and usually quite functional on top of it. Tomas Maier knows where his brand’s strengths lie, and as a result, the bag lovers in his customer base always get something utterly lustworthy for their patronage. Despite a design or two that doesn’t quite pass muster (riveting just make ostrich skin look strangely mottled on a few of these bags), Bottega Veneta Spring 2012 stands out as a very strong handbag collection in a season that’s seen a few stinkers from brands that are usually reliable. Ladies, Bottega is still the Bottega you all know and love.

 WoW! I love that bag!! it would hold my very hot sunglasses, wallet, mints, phone, Kindle, cosmetic bag with sunblock and my favorite SPF 15 lip balm along with some pretty lip shine and concealer, iPod, and a fabulous silk scarf. All my stuff is ready to go-I just need that bag!! must say I like everything in it except the bag ~!
Fun colorful items….I, like the color of the bag but the design itself just isn’t hot enough for me….I think what’s in it is making it all look a lot better than it really would be by itself.
 Beautiful bag, love the color. I’d love to have a tote this extravagant. In it you’d find: paper and pen, lip balm and probably four tubes of lipstick (why?), concealer, sunblock stick, a magazine or two, reading glasses, sun glasses, postcards, handiwipes, mints, phone, and a pair of roll-up flats. Other things I’m sure, sometimes I’ll pack a peanut butter sandwich, depending
When I saw this picture on Net-A-Porter, I was thinking they must be reading our ‘What’s in Her Bag‘ features because this looks like something Vlad photographed. Granted, it is not but I love seeing how NAP styled their vacation bag.They have the lime green Bottega Veneta Shopping Tote as the center piece and tons of designer goodies spilling out. They opted for Missoni Wedges along with other stand out options. What would we find spilling out of your vacation bag? More high quality Bottega handbags
