When I think of Bottega Veneta, the first thing I think of is their gorgeous woven bags. I've always coveted a quality hand-woven bag, but Bottega Veneta is unfortunately well out of my price range. Current Bottega handbags typically boast clean lines, the softest Intreciatto woven leathers, and a classic palette-Wikipedias description, which I heartily agree with, LOL!
So I was extremely pleased to pick up a gorgeous bag by Cosci, which is also handcrafted in Italy-their woven nappa bags retail between 500-750 euros.

My bag is a mix of casual and smart-it has a slouch factor, but the fastening across the top gives an understated formal air to it. This was from the Haven House charity shop yesterday for only £3-I snapped it up!!
So, although I didn't need another handbag, I could not pass this lovely bag up and for a change I've started using it straightaway!!

Thanks for your note. I've been thinking on this for a long time. I hope it'll be a good story. I wanted to do something a bit different. Naturally, I have some readers, hoping Ellie is pregnant..of all thing..hmmm. Of course, somebody else might be. Not me.
A basic black bag with such delicate details is a must in one's wardrobe:)
Love it Sharon! Another fab find:)

I saw a bag with the woven etail at Payless and though they were pretty.
Great buy as always.
