1980s Bottega Veneta Woven Navy Linen Bag

navy black white grey With the exception of perhaps Versace, every luxury fashion house has built its reputation on a steady diet of muted colors that are meant to last more than one season. So maybe it's black this year and camel the next but you can be sure that your two thousand dollar Malo sweater in dove grey will still be smart-looking again next year. The lion print satin shirt and leather hiphuggers? Ehhh, maybe you ought to wear them into the ground 'cause they ain't gonna be so hot again. Ever. Take that piece of advice from women who are in the business of knowing what designs of the past to recycle and which ones to let rest in peace. Paganne double knit polyester? Buh-bye. Pucci black lace nightgowns with no print? See ya. Plaid vests with satin backs? Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Bottega woven bags from the 70s and 80s? Take off your coat and stay awhile. Gorgeous, timeless woven leathers and linens - this navy linen tote has braided navy leather handles and dangly braided gilt ball fobs to hold the strap to the bag. Closes with a hidden snap and lined in navy vinyl, the long strap can be worn across the body or straight on the shoulder. 10.5" wide by 9" high with a single 18" strap. Excellent condition. $510.00
subtle but effective
