La Reine Margot

veneta applique purseMaybe by the time you read this post, the purse pictured here will either be a)sold out or b) near-impossible to get hold of.

I say this simply because it seems to be the case with every other Veneta bag — they become exclusive so fast that by the time you’ve registered it, it’s far too late. And I am well aware of how often it’s done deliberately — and Veneta can get away with it.

In fact, if they created just ten purses a year and refused to sell them to anyone but blonde-haired brown-eyed twenty-six year olds, all anyone would say is, "Oh, it’s a Veneta bag? Well that figures."

God bless them. This purse pictured here is an intraciatto leather purse with floral applique and a lovely leather chain handle. It’s a relatively small little purse with blue lining and flowers. The design is straight out of an Edwardian catalogue, feminine and graceful with a very modern twist due to the layering. Perfect for that whole soft, frilly late Victorian/early Edwardian look that is all over the runway and shops this season.

It’s just a beautiful, unique little piece with every standard you would hold Veneta to, surpassed — quite frankly, fit for a queen.

Now quick, go get one before something crazy happens… 

October 27, 2005. Bottega Veneta, Purse du Jour.
