Trend Alert: Woven Leather Bags

May 2, 2007

We all know by now that imitation is one of the highest forms of flattery. The pioneer of woven leather bags, Bottega Veneta, must have accepted this a long time ago. I am proud to announce that I own a Bottega. It is vintage, black and a long shoulder bag - and it screams easy luxe. It's my Saturday night bag a lot of the time because it just makes me feel alright. For those who have yet to score a new or vintage Bottega, there are less expensive options than the originator. Enjoy!

Bottega Veneta Woven Flower Hobo, $1,980.

Andrea Brueckner Small Saddle Bag, $350.

I think they are cute. I would like to touch one of them. They are just so perfectly woven. The white one is more me.

I don't like those. I have this once clutch that I liked. I bookmarked it somewhere.

Ooh I like the white one. It is a little too high in price - but I know the knock off's will hit the store soon.

I'm going to sound like a total cheapoid here, but Kmart actually had some nice metallic woven bags. I don't normally shop there and didn't get a close look, but I may go back and check it out. Just maybe.
