Early this year, Bottega Veneta released a rather odd-looking handbag I’m not sure was designed by a person with the right frame of mind. Take a look at the whole thing:
If not for the really white and clean look, I could’ve sworn this bag was garbage left to be played with by cats believing it was their scratching post.
Bottega Veneta normally does away with bold pieces and stick with the classic and simple designs. This is coming out of their comfort zone and releasing a bag that surely does let one do a double take, but for the wrong reasons.
From the Neiman Marcus website:
Frayed Woven Veneta Hobo
Frayed topstitching softens signature Bottega Veneta leather for Spring’s confectionary treats. We can’t help but imagine this hobo with sheer blouses, rosy corals, and fresh florals.
The $2480 Bottega Veneta Handbag the Cat Ruined
The simplicity of this handbag is not one to disregard. It actually makes the bag a lot more classy and perfectly designed for that woman who has a busy calendar and loads of tasks to do.
The handbag offers a lot of function as it is just the right size for files, folder and a small laptop to fit into. But at the same time, it’s also a great bag to carry around during weekend soirees and visits to the mall. Roomy, functional and still stylish, I think this is the perfect go-to bag and a must have. This can even be used during travels.
You get your money’s worth with this.
Available at Zappos.
DKNY Soft Angel Leather Large Tote
Floral-inspired designs are hardly missing in any designer’s collection. Every year, every spring season specifically, floral collections dominate the trend. For 2011, designers have come up with really cute but edgier styles. If you’re into floral bags, these choices should add a lot of flair to your sets.
Some of those bags that stand-out to me include the following bags —
From Salvatorre Ferragamo: Floral Scarf-Print Tote
This tote bag is significantly striking because of its unique design. It’s a scarf bag with lovely floral prints. Tan leather trims support the soft silhouette, plus the golden top ring handles with golden logo tag, complete the style.

From Lanvin: Flowered Denim Tote
Make a frilly but colorful statement with this Lanvin tote bag. It’s made of natural woven denim with grossgrain shoulder straps. It’s perfect for the beach. The bag has multicolored flowers in soft chiffon material as accent.
From Stella McCartney: Falabella Botantical-Print Tote
This bag isn’t quite girly, in spite the floral prints. The chain straps and the logo charm sets it apart. Inside, the bag is lined with nylon and the size makes this bag an ideal everyday tote.

This classic Veneta handbag, which was released a couple of years ago, still remains a favorite everyday bag by many. It is particularly distinct because of its intrecciato weaving which has already become a trademark for the brand. I personally love the bag for its functionality. The shape and material makes it pretty convenient to put everyday stuff in it. The style is only secondary, however, it does look tasteful and elegant. I wouldn’t think it needed any updating or changing.
But apparently, the people behind Bottega Veneta thinks the classic bag needs a touch up.
For release this coming spring is the frayed version of this bag…which actually leaves me baffled. This style is a contradiction. The frays lend a disheveled appeal, but in white, it looks absolutely pristine.

This slouchy tote bag is made of cream leather but is scripted with hearts and the phrase, “Love is life”. The bag is slouchy, with an open top and the shoulder straps are woven. This is the kind of bag you can use to grab and go. You just stuff your things in there.
You can get this from Neiman Marcus.
