when i got there, it appeared she had invited another chick to join them also. when i met the girl, my eyes immediately zoned in on her bag. OMG, is she carrying a BOTTEGA VENETA small hobo in pink leather?! am i meeting a kindred spirit? one that loves bags as much as i do?!
*sigh* upon further inspection (as much as can be done without looking creepy), i decided it was a fake. what were the indications you might wonder?
1) i cut right to the chase and asked her “is this a bottega veneta bag?” she shook her head.
2) it was a bad leather dye job even though the shape was correct.
3) and the crème de la crème of it all….it had the WRONG designer label on the bag. there was a small metal placard that said “francesco biasia.” the last time i checked, the bv bags had no labels at all. they are iconic because of the interciatto weaving….and francesco biasia…heck, he’s a completely different designer.
we found other things to talk about…but the love of bags was not one of them.
