Bottega Veneta Printed canvas tote: Snob or Slob?

| 9 Comments
bvcanvastote.jpgAfter my python debacle with a sippy cup-- I decided it's time to seek a cheap and stylish canvas tote. I came across one from Bottega Veneta-- they've printed the iconic woven leather strips on canvas. Cute idea!  Except it's not very cheap at $960. I think the bag is fun but the price is outrageous for a canvas!  I'd be just as worried that things will spill in it because it costs so much plus I'd worry that the screen print will fade if I washed it too often or that it rip or tear. Oy, forget it. I'm sticking with using birkins and exotic totes for my run around bags. I don't want to wake up at 85 years old with a closetful of unused and pristine bags wondering why the hell I didn't just use them and live it up!  The printed canvas tote by BV is at Net-a-Porter.com What do you guys think? Snob or Slob?

  • Nope...this bag isn't nice to look at. It's beyond slob. It is "should not have made it through the first round of designs."

  • Bag is lovely, print is genius, price is ridiculous. I think Vuitton barely gets way with selling $700 "coated canvas" bags. This is raw print unbleached canvas. You can't wash it because the print will die but it will get dirty no matter what. Only a sucker will pay $960 or this. It's between this and the YSL Raspail canvas tote from a few years ago. That one is more edgy.

  • SLOB
    you can get a cute canvas tote at J crew for 20 bucks Tina ;-)

  • Slobby, Slobby, Slobby!

  • Not liking this bag!! SLOB!!

    Tina-did some digging and you're right, if I purchase from NAP UK-site its cheaper then buying from US site-I am making a couple of purchases, I will save over a grand if I go through UK THX for the tip!!!! Happy shopping to MEEE!!!!

  • Definite SLOB. They must be out of their minds pricing it at $960.

  • Sorry to say, but it looks like something used....lost and found again. Not my taste, but I bet it rocks someone's world!

  • Wow. Looks like something you'd find slightly threadbare for resale at a common flea market! Slob.
