Bottega Veneta's Newest Bag by Matthieu Blazy? The Andiamo Bag - Let's Go or No?

[@ApplesThatRead]

Really like the bag as Bottega's answer to a need in the market. That bag could be today what Hermes' birkin was in 2001. I would buy in a couple of years if it (and he) sticks around. After the Balenciaga thing, personally I will take it slow with 'new' creatives.

[@MarysRoom]

Totally agree about the market point but also feeling you on the taking it slow attitude. I'm weary of Kerring brands as they have a revolving door with creative directors. Thank you so much for watching❤

[@StarzGurl2]

I just discovered your channel and i love hearing your POV! there aren't many channels (i've seen) that do this, or do it well imo. love that you're just sharing to the camera and not making your videos too documentary-like!

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you so much Carmen❤

[@jdc1979]

I just bought one in Athens! Im so in love with it and been getting compliments! I wish i bought the medium size ( bought the small) but i can fit my small wallet, phone and other small knick knacks in it so over all im happy with it!

[@MarysRoom]

Congratulations JC❤

[@RAMIROFY]

Thank you for sharing Mary these beautiful bags from the new creative director...I Love that it now comes with a Lifetime Warranty...i wanted to add a bag to my collection. Really elegant and chic 😍😍😍

[@MarysRoom]

Yes, would be great if other luxury brands could follow suit. Thank you for watching❤

[@skirtmag]

It's gotten to liking before I even watch. That's how real your consistency is ❤❤

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you so much❤

[@toutz8]

I like hearing your thoughts and perspectives. Good points to consider with any bag purchase- thanks for the video

[@MarysRoom]

Really appreciate it! Thank you for watching!

[@jamesscalise4990]

I think Matthieu has so much vision. There's suuuuch an elegance to it in a way that feels young, whereas Hermes or Brunello feels like something for moms and dads lo,

[@MarysRoom]

Great points! I still think moms and dads can enjoy his vision of bottega too😉

[@jamesscalise4990]

@@MarysRoom haha well that’s what nice about it! Timeless while feeling relevant

[@drlessismore]

Did you eventually try the bag on? I just saw it today. Sick. But your points are valid about wear and tear. Hmmm

[@Nopi9]

I love you everything about matthews bags except his aversion to zips

[@MarysRoom]

Yes definitely more of a magnetic closure guy! Thank you for watching❤

[@fashionboyrobbychin]

Love Matthew's Bottega! I'm also a fan of Daniel Lee's BV - his more showy, vibrant aesthetic brought me in as a customer (bought the green puddle boots). However, I find Matthew's BV more relatable, and I want to buy more from his collections compared to Daniel's. I recently bought the large pillow bag from the FW 22 collection in the Barulo color way. I also have the curved wool blue coat on my wish list!

[@MarysRoom]

Yes I think DL really created new silhouettes and with bright colours it made those pieces really stand out on social media. Agree that MB's is much more wearable with beautiful deep rich colours. Something for the older bottega clients but still feels fresh. Thank you so much for your input and watching Robert!

[@jwon9607]

I had the Bottega’s Knot bucket bag which have the exact same strap as the Andiamo’s. It feels totally fine on my shoulder and i always load that bag to the fullest so i guess it would be fine for that matter.😂

[@MarysRoom]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Natashea]

This might just be my favorite Bottega bag, definitely getting it this year

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh yes such a great bag for 2023 but also beyond. Thank you so much for watching❤

[@petercheng6893]

is andiamo medium size suitable for men ? I like glacier colour

[@MarysRoom]

I think the larger sizes I've seen on men. But I think it depends on your frame and the size you want for your bag.

[@janemackrell3733]

I have just bought the Cabat bag. Does anyone have any thoughts? Haven’t decided whether to keep it yet

[@sabinafromapplecity]

Always love to hear your thoughts, Mary. I like BV bags, such a recognizable brand. Thanks for the share.❤

[@MarysRoom]

Yes, I do love the continuation of the intrecciato. Thank you for watching❤

[@nickolette22]

I love to own that bag for its practicality and not, as you said, for some creative vision. At the same time I just bought Margiela’s 5ac in smooth leather because I love what’s going on there creatively and want to participate. (Plus it is not huge but with the extension fits my laptop!) I was really looking into Venetta’s top handle bag, which I haven’t seen anyone wear even on the internet.

[@nickolette22]

Btw I’m currently obsessed with the latest Prada and their grey sweaters and blazers ❤

[@MarysRoom]

Appreciate your perspective! I definitely think its a win when you can have both. I actually have the 5AC in the larger size that can fit a laptap, but I barely wear it because it's so heavy with the extra materials. Thank you for watching❤

[@fashionandluxury101]

Thx Mary you have so much information. I’m liking Celine because of you 😊

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you so much! I honestly could talk about Phoebe Philo's era all day lol!

[@debbieh9009]

Fyi to those not aware, the "lifetime warranty" is NOT for every bag and it does not cover wear and tear. I went to Bottega and asked about it.

[@MarysRoom]

Great point❤

My !# bag for 2023 Large Jodie in Grape

[@MarysRoom]

Such a good one! Thank you for watching❤

[@EpplerZiedan]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the H Q D U P S as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@wendyrs1087]

I do think the adiamo looks sharp and classic from pics ... I put money on one ... waiting for it to come in to my local store ... I will see what I think in person ...

[@MarysRoom]

Yeah I think that's the determining factor, online vs in-person is a different experience. Thank you for watching❤️

[@YushiWang-lw9cr]

I totally agree, if I'm spending more money I sometimes feel that quality is a given (though not always what we may receive even at that price point), and what I would want to buy into additionally is a sense of story/sense of inspiration from the collection. I find the sardine bag more quirky than the andiamo but not as practical, but I still am not super sure how these 2 bags tie into his overall vision. I'm still looking forward to what BV will offer, but from the one show it's definitely luxury albeit a little bit forgettable.

[@MarysRoom]

Yes agree, I think there is something to be said about the artistic value and vision bc how many dupes are there? What is the significance or inspiration of the sardine? But also willing to follow what the brand does. Thank you so much for watching Yushi!

[@allykat100]

Hey Mary, would love to know what you think about the newly released visuals and logo of Burberry since Daniel Lee took over

[@MarysRoom]

I actually prefer the equestrian symbol over the TB logo or the boldface "BURBERRY" font. I appreciated that Daniel Lee came up with whole new silhouettes at BV, I hope he does the same at Burberry. Tyrone Lebon's photography was used during his time at BV so similar vibes. Overall very intrigued.

No Bottega Blazyvbags for me. I am focused on the gold H. Nice video Mary 🥰

And have you seen the Penelope bag that Chloe just released? I guess it’s official- big bags are back

Their new bags are so expensive considering some of their older bags look super similar for 10% of the price

[@MarysRoom]

💯such a good point! Newnew Bottega ~ Old Bottega

[@patr70]

10%?? Not on your life.

[@antoniohussey8936]

The engineering on these newer intrecciato styles is impressive but but the quality when you consider the heavy coated finishes and bonded leather and synthetic materials just does not justify the prices. There should be a made to order bag range integrated. That’s the only way to introduce leather goods to a trending brand remotely comparable to the quality of Hermes.

[@MarysRoom]

Great points! I think it would be such a brilliant idea for them to do made-to-order bags. There is so much room for creativity with how the bags could be weaved. 100% agree with BV incomparable to Hermes when it comes to quality Thank you for watching!

[@daniellericht7718]

I don't think there is anything really different or interesting. Pass
