By far the most asked about bags when we posed the question: What are the It bags you love but are 100% sure about? Daniel Lee s Bottega Veneta collection made the top of the list.
Let me be clear: If I could, I would have the whole collection lined up on my shelf like sculptures. But I, like most people could only afford one at a time, and so I needed to make sure I wouldn t regret it. A reader asked, are they trend pieces or forever? and I, too, asked myself that question. Personally, I feel now that Lee s has developed several seasons of bags for the house, it s clear that his signature tone will remain, and while there will be a ludicrous shape here or there (ie: the Fringe Crisscross bag), for the most part the silhouettes are quite reliable. As such, I would say yes to investing in a Bottega purse. Now the question is: Which one?
