as a bag maker I enjoyed this video a lot. thanks for sharing. about [15:44] it is normal it is not soft because it has to care weight, and also it has to be be strong, for this reason, this bag strap has a strong/heavy core in its inner part, which the entire outer shell sits around. because the outer shell of the bag strap is made of soft leather, that's why all the weight of the bag is carried on its core. well they could design it in some how different way, but this is their design. it called 3 in one design. something like that. some ppl like it and some ppl don't like it. the only thing I didn't like about their design was the under corners [18:54].

I have to admit, when this bag first came out I really didn’t like it 🙈 but when I see it in person now, it looks so chic and elegant. I really love the color that you purchased too. I enjoyed your detailed review so much - especially the weight comparisons! ❤

[@raindropraina]

Same here! I wasn't really interested when it first came out, but it grew on me and then I couldn't shake off the idea that it would fit very well in my daily life. And this colour was the colour that spoke to me best, I've been wanting this shade of green for my wardrobe since I saw the colour on a Fendi Baguette quite a while ago. Thanks for the affirmation! It takes a spark for me to make these long reviews, and now I realise I need a WIMB and some full body mod shots with it to complete it, so it'll be coming up in a reel format. 😍💚

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

Same here too

[@ajohonly3721]

Same here but! This video made me put it in my wish list. I want it in red .

[@Handbagstyle.unboxing]

Gorgeous bag, thanks for sharing!🤩

[@raindropraina]

Thank you so much!! 🩵🩵

I do just think that colour is stunning and amazing savings ! I bought my white Gucci blondie from cettire it did come packaged well but only in a dust bag ! I managed to save a few 100 on an already reasonably priced bag ❤

[@raindropraina]

Yes the colour is everything 💚💚💚Thank you! Yes it's a bit of a gamble when you order on Cettire but the savings make it so worth it. So I do go back for more. 😜🙈 Congrats on your Gucci score, sounds like the perfect summer bag! 🤍🤍🤍

[@AnnM0824]

Great detailed video!

[@joyLoveC]

Thanks for the thorough review, babe! Yeah… The long strap with a mind of its own could be a deal breaker for me, and you can’t remove it without leaving the gaping holes there 🤔 . That said, I still check Cettire from time to time. If the S size goes very close to $3k I might reconsider it. Have a fab week! 💕💖😘

[@raindropraina]

Thanks Corrine! Yes, I can totally understand about the straps. 😅 Cettire can be such an addiction! 😆 The small size is so nifty and looks like a great everyday bag.

[@Alma-e3b]

Wow, thanks for the details especially the weight.

[@raindropraina]

Thank you! I do think I have a bit of a weight obsession with bags. 😂

[@Kate_Mnl]

I do like this bag except for the strap. I hope they improve on it as I really want to add another BV bag to my collection. I have a small loop bag (camera bag style) and I find it very durable considering that it's lambskin. Thanks for the review, Raina.

[@valeriiarenas92]

Great bag 💙💚

[@raindropraina]

It really is! Thank you! 💚💙💚💙

[@totesgene]

It's GORGEOUS!

[@raindropraina]

Thank you, Gene!! 💚💚💚

[@anlla3]

I’ve been wanting that bag for work for a while now. I dont really love the neverfull or totes because they are just too big (although I’m considering the inside out neverfull -have you made a video about it?-). Other bags are just heavy, I’m glad you made the comparison, for me weight is a deal breaker. Maybe you can make a video of best light work bags that fit a laptop?

[@neebieslittleluxuries]

The color of this bag is so gorgeous!! I love it. Bottega has beautiful leathers and colors. This is off topic but I was wondering, do you still use your lily and bean mini Hettie bag? I want a mini Kelly one day but it’s so much😅I’d like to wait some time and then decide if that bag style really fits my lifestyle. I was considering buying a lily and bean. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks!

[@raindropraina]

Thank you so much, I have been in love that this shade of green for the longest time and am glad I finally have it. The BV leather is something that needs to be touched, I was never really into the brand until I held it in person. 😍💚 Regarding the Hettie bag, unfortunately I don't use it anymore because my mum has been using it since I lent it to her for her cruise trips. She travels quite a bit and finds it very useful. Hope that helps!

[@raindropraina]

Oh, and also... I have scratched that Mini Kelly itch finally... Unboxing in my birthday month!! 🙈😍😜

[@neebieslittleluxuries]

@@raindropraina omg!! Can’t wait to see this 🩷

[@icemeoutlikeelsa]

Cetire? I don't know if I would trust it to be genuine

[@raindropraina]

I have had previous items bought from Cettire that I got authenticated, so now I'm ok with Cettire. But each of us should, of course, only buy from a place one is comfortable with so I get where you are coming from.
