Among the Bottega Veneta Spring and Summer 2010 collection, I found this green Cocolave Crocodile Tote with eye-catching appearance and bright color from Milan Fashion Week. Like all other Bottega Veneta handbags, this tote combines delicate Italian craftsmanship, stunning design, and top of the class material.

It is made from the jungle green crocodile leather in a vibrant shade that gives luxurious looking and features pewter-tone hardware to compliment the crocodile skin. Its vibrant green color which I like best adds some spring features to its all design and makes feel vigor and fresh. There is also a detachable small press-stud fastening case with key and padlock inside hanging on one side of the structured short handle. Personally I think the design of this tote will not be easy to go out of the trend.

It is also functional. Sized at 15?in width, 11?in height, and 6?in depth, it is spacious room and opening through the a fold-over flap at front, you may find an interior zip-fastening pocket and a pouch pocket lined in taupe suede, where you can put your things separately and clearly. Thus it is perfect as daily use.

It is known that the fashion house Bottega veneta is famous for its classic knot clutch handbags. Though unlike the other classic bags, I think this Perforated Leather Clutch from Bottega Veneta looks handsome and sophisticated.

As a top bag of its 2010 collection, it features the woven detail on the top of the bag which is the typical style of Bottega Veneta , and there are some perforated details around and tiny studs on the front of top that looks shining and luxurious. I quite like its dark purple color which has a meaning of nobleness and elegance. Sized at 13 x 6 x 2 inches, it is not so functional but also has enough space to hold tiny daily accessory. With a five-inch drop top handle, this clutch bag could be carried in the hands or over the shoulder.

I think it may match well with any simple outfit in my wardrobe and be appropriated for any occasions. With its simple yet distinctive design, it is worthy of having one for the spring and summer, or even autumn and winter, for its color may also be suitable for the cold season.

The Bottega Veneta fall 2010 clothing collection in Milan Fashion Week doesn’t appeal me, seriously. While the entire handbag collection is unbelievably beautiful, I can’t recall ever watching a runway show that collected so many different kinds of bags, from oversized crocodile hobos to tiny embellished knot clutches. All of them are beyond stunning! To say Bottega Veneta’s creative designer Mr. Maier is visionary would be an understatement. He is innovative, and as you’ve seen in this fall collection, ahead of his time, not only in design but also in the materials and colors he used.

I love how Bottega Veneta is using the intreciatto in new and unique ways.The two eye-catching bags above of the collection are vividly illustrate Mr. Maier’s creative design. The triple layered cross body bag is made of chalk snakeskin woven in a pattern that looks like the actual snake. And the shining bag is made of paper and trimmed in python with python strap. You can hide its strap to use it as an evening clutch like the way the model deals with.

All the Bottega Veneta fall 2010 bags showed in Milan Fashion Week are utterly beautiful. I can’t help aahing over the little shell pink clutch, after drooling over the jade clutch. You know,they all perfectly embellished and look chic,hitting my heart deeply. I really  would love to carry them every moment of my life. Among so many fabulous Bottega Veneta bags, which one do you prefer?

Bottega Veneta Woven Hobo

Bottega Veneta Maxi Hobo

When I saw this series of Bottega Veneta woven/Maxi hobos, I felt ashamed, because they reminded me of I’m a totally layman for knitting. And it’s obvious that less people can knit in modern society, however we’re still lucky to have the chance to own such woven hobos preduced by Bottega Veneta. As we see, under the helm of creative director Tomas Maier, the company creates subtly elegant accessories in soft suede and  handcrafted latticework leather. These exquisite woven/maxi hobos feature some of the most luxurious nappa leather and workmanship.

In this 2010,  they are certainly worth to collect as iconic collection bags among mountains of bags with different brands.  The  woven workmanship is full of  natural elements,  they are quite match with the new fresh spring and summer. And they are double-faced, that means we can just show another side if one side is dirty and you have no time to clean them. Another point I need to say is they are delicate and large enough to accommodate all our daily essentials. You know what I’m thinking now? I want to carry one of these Bottega Veneta woven/Maxi hobos in simple cotton dress and bicycle to visit my grandma. Why? These Bottega Veneta Woven/Maxi Hobos with natural richness remind me of the movie 2012. Many people don’t believe the horrible things in the movie 2012 will happen, but some of them have joined to protect our earth, living space. I know this is far off the subject, but we really need to know that we are in charge of our lives, better or worse, we have the choices.
