For anyone searching for a perfect warm-weather handbag, cast your eyes upon the Bottega Veneta Top Handle purse, available for a mere $780. Hah, once again out of my price range! Made from multicolor cotton canvas, it measures 10.75″ l x 6.5″ h x 3.5″ d. It features double leather handles that are even adjustable—a fantastic feature! I love when handles are adjustable, not only because each of us are different sizes and want different drop lengths, but they also allow me to adjust the handle length for those days when I might want it a little longer or shorter.
The colors and fabric remind me of a warm, sunny summer day along the beach, but the pop of colors would be a refreshing sight admist the cloudy, dreary days of late winter/early spring. I also think the piping trim provides a great finish to this design.

ewww - this is so out of character for BV and definitely not worth the pricetag.

It isn’t the same as their other bags, but it’s quite unique. I’m completely intrigued by how the straps work—Mallory?

Well, I’m not positive since I can’t investigate this in person, but it looks like there’s snaps at the bottom on each side of the purse that you can unsnap, causing the handles to move up, increasing the length.

Hm, I think I see that. It seems like there is extra strap snapped down that can be added?

It would be nice if they had a photo of the straps at a different length so we could see exactly how it worked.
