finally!! the weaving is mine!

i think i've drooled about bottega veneta bags for quite a while now. since december 2007 to be exact. there's something seriously delicious when you touch one. so soft and buttery....and the weaving is simply divine. after visiting bottega veneta boutiques off and on for the past year and/or catching myself molesting the bags as i generally find myself doing when i come across one, i took the plunge and veered off the chanel-only-path and bought myself a bottega veneta ferro sloane! the color is a dark shimmering grey and the leather is absolutely delicious. the weaving allows for a variation of shimmering tones and visual texture so "grey" is not simply "grey." there is a darkness and lightness to it depending on the weaving and the way light hits it. it even has a suede interior!! holy shit! with time, the bag will slouch a bit to form to my body. i'm expecting quite an excellent hobo look. ahhh, it is a GORGEOUS bag indeed. i definitely see another bottega bag in my future....far future since i'm clearly smitten by this leather. the ferro sloane is 100% well made, scrumptious, and dearly loved as much as my chanels (oh gawd i sound like a freak).

the sloane has been put to use numerous times now. i think it would be a shame not to. it's been in hibernation due to the rain, but the gorgeous grey will be ready to use once the weather warms up a bit. i loves it a lot!
obligatory ass shot.
