Stop every pre-order and call back all of this season's purchases, I have found "the one"!! I knew I should have waited but the perks of shopping luxury is that everything can be re-decided. Well, this precious amazing Duette in python will not be going back. It is on pre-order and I will be counting the days, the hours, the minutes until it is mine! Look at the soft gray, muted natural python that is ever so subtle yet so powerful in its beauty. And in a bag that I can actually (and will) use every day. Just look at the skin, it is beyond gorgeous and amazing (it is waxed python, or Pitone Cerato in Italian, as it is described). And the comfort and practicality of the bag, this is like a rare moment where everything just comes together for me in sheer joy, excitement and ecstasy! My husband will be jealous hearing me go on about this bag like that, but he knows who he is married to. And if he does not make one single comment about the price of this bag or why I need yet another bag, I will make him feel that exact same way =) The love for this bag is endless, just look at the clever frame pockets on both sides! Usually when I fall in love with a bag this hard, I stop caring about my functionality requirements like outer pocket and adjustable shoulder strap, but that is just how perfect this bag is!! It's got everything a silly, bag loving, drooling mess of a girl wants!! It has a top zip closure which is fine by me, it will most likely remain open for the duration of its life with me, I am just thankful it doesn't have an annoying flap or complicated closure that will start to irritate me after the honeymoon period is over. It is not a large bag at 11.7 x 7.4 x 11.7 inches, just the right size for what I need. Pre-order only through Bottega Veneta. Call Ana, the personal shopper at Bottega at 646-292-5888 or email her. $4100

Congratulations, I hope that you will both be very happy together. The colour is beautiful - on my monitor the scales come out as bluish-grey and brown. Very chic.
If it is waxed python, does this mean that the scales are less likely to curl?
wow, just divine. good thing i didn't buy the blue-grey muse that you guys recommended this past weekend...i love this one tens times more.
Kelly, your entry made me laugh, mostly because I had the same reaction to the bag when I looked at it on the Bottega website yesterday. I still cannot decide if I want the gray or the cream one. Descisions, descisions....
Hi mq cb
Bottega's scales NEVER curl, even when sticky little hands throw them in water. And if anything does happen, take it right back and Bottega will fix it for you :)
I saw this at the trunk show and the bag is soooooo soft. I am not as crazy about this color in person, the cream is a bit better.
xo
Oh my goodness, I am in love love love with this bag! And you're right, who cares about functionality, it's absolutely beautiful!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO I love it !! I am going to Wailea with friends this weekend . I will stop by the bottega store.
The bag is delish but the color on my screen is not so good. You really can not compare the Muse, a thousand dollar leather bag, with a Bottega exotic. They are so different! I ordered the Muse from my SA at YSL the minute you guys featured it, it was a no brainer! This one would be an investment!
I am not a python fan but I saw a crocodile bag at Bottega the other day that is so amazingly soft and supple. it's $17,000...
You've featured some lovely bags on this website but I'm not sure about this one. Maybe the picture doesn't do it justice, but the colour looks a bit sickly and there is just too much python, if that makes any sense (?)
I love it! Love that color too.
I love the buttery soft leather of BV!
Anyway heard you can get a free Kate Spade here: www.hp.com.hk/beyondthebag and I am in the contest. :)
Wish me luck! I'll be happy with a pretty kate spade til the grand BV bag comes along one day..
i dunno...i love the shape and i'm all for python, but i think i prefer it in black, white, or metallic (picture anything sang a)!
I too like BV bags,but this one is not my favorities.Is it the snaky appearance or what. And it looks a bit too pussy to me too.I prefer my bags to stand on there own.
Saw the bag in the S/S pre-view event. I too like the cream better. Also, the SA mentioned the handle could double up as a belt!
Its gorgeous!!! I luv it and want it!!!! Thanks!!!
whats extraordinary to me is that a company is asking for 4100 dollars for a handbag on a web site and they have just the one picture! No side or interior shots, not showing all the colors, ridiculous! I would like to see how those side pockets look opened.
It's such a pretty bag! I love the blue-gray colour.
Beautiful!
