Bottega Veneta Cabat Owners (and Future Owners) United

[jbags07]

I have been back and forth eyeing this little, but mighty beauty for literally years…

My choice of colour for any bag is usually almost always either black, or dark green or possibly blue. However, as I have posted earlier in this forum, I had fallen in love with the small Cabat in white. After debating how practical it is I also came to terms with the fact that I just did not need another medium tote, but I did still really want a mini.

Today I finally decided to pull the trigger on a mini Cabat (before prices got adjusted at my store). It felt like now or never because the price increases are getting just too insane for me.

Long story short, I am so, so thrilled to share my new purchase and can confirm that I am now closet than ever to so called “purse peace”.

@J.T. - the mini is so stunning in white 🤍
Congratulations on your latest addition - even though white can be worrisome, it just shines in this style…..i think you made a good choice. White bags can sometimes be a bit boring, but the intrecciato gives it such depth and texture mini Cabat is the perfect white bag 🤍

Congrats. Yeah white can be daunting, but a little protection will always bring me peace of mind. The thing about Cabat is that they can replace the handles if needed (since its the only place that can get dirty badly), however I have not had the need to.

Thank you!

I debated on protection but have decided not the treat the leather as BV advised against this. However I have bought a cleaner for delicate leather as a precaution to have at hand.

Worst scenario BV would be able to re dye the bag whether it be under CoC or at additional cost, but I honestly hope that I never have to find out

I'm gald you asked this, I've been wondering myself. Not just the cabat, but any intreciatto bags. I have 2 cabats and a nodini.

I’m thinking the ones with numbers were handcrafted by Italian artisans at one time. Mine does not have a limited edition number so I wonder if that means mine was mass produced. Given everything I’ve read about labor standards and much of labor as being imported over the last twenty years it wouldn’t be surprising if this is the case for bags produced in the last five years.
