I am over trend bags. Could careless about picking this bag up as many of these celebs are gifted these items. For the price, it's boring. I am not interested in shouty pieces but there are far better bags for less. I am not interested in accumulated shelf pieces and will be moving away from bags in general. I feel like the consumer has lost control of the market and the producer holds all the cards in their overpriced card holder. Side note: I love you shirt Cassie! Wishing everyone a financial good day.
I will never pay thousands of dollars for a bag that does not have a zipper. I literally carry thousands in electronics with me while I travel and Borseggiare would have a field day😂😂.
I feel like trends are created by paying or gifting influencers and celebrities into wearing the bag and talking about the bag on utube and Instagram. a Kardashian’s doesn’t do anything for free
I recently bought this bag at the Milano flagship store. The sales associate told me that BV plans for this bag to be their equivalent of a Kelly from Hermes and they have already started to slowly restrict stock. The fondant and travertine colours are sold out on most sites now too. I think the simplicity of it helps in making it a timeless piece on any collection.
I tried it on in store yesterday, in medium size. The woven structure is actually gorgeous in person, and it seems like a very functional bag. Straps were a bit stiff, but not in a way that would hinder its practicality (at least the one I briefly tried on).
I personally love this bag. I reluctantly land more into the quiet luxury group because I do wear more muted colors due to OCD. But I would t mind that east-west lavender one. 💜
Bottega is clearly gearing back to pre-Daniel Lee era (or I should rightfully call it the Tomas Maier era). That means subtler, slouchier, more boho and yet overall different from any other brands and still functional products. Reissuing Maier classics like the Knot clutch and Cabat tote signals that direction too, which I personally welcome. I hope they carry on and bring back more interesting craftmanship too. People tend to think Maier era of Bottega was just some boring, old-lady designs. In actuality, they tried everything - mix of different leathers and materials, beading, applique, embroidery, different variations of their signature interacciato, various painting and dyeing techniques... you name it, and they tired them already. I hope to see something genuinely interesting and luxurious, not just boom, whack, shock and pop.
Great video as always! The Andiamo is growing on me more than the Sardine. But I'm saving my coins for the LV small mirror looking clutch bag from the Pharell's first Men's show hehe 😍
Thank you for keeping us up to date, as always! I saw this bag on RM a few months ago and thought the large size was sooo cute - maybe not for 7k+ though 😭 hope you’re having a good week Cassie! 😊
i personally own the andiamo and i find it a very easy bag to use. but you’re definitely right about the braided strap being very stiff - what i personally do is twirl it and hoop it through the top handle for a neater look one con is that while trying to adjust the shoulder strap into a crossbody, the braided strap does dig into the leather-wrapped hoops and through daily use, the leather around them can be torn - which is what happened to mine
@@CassieThorpe And you’re absolutely right… the price tag truly is on the hefty side. But it is widely known across luxury that the smaller the intrecciato weave, the pricier the product. It’s all just cost and worth. I personally bought it because I know I’ll get a lot of use. Some might find it extortionate for what is a “simple” bag. To each their own! :)
if the strap isn't terribly stiff, I'd definitely buy it not because it's an "IT" bag, but because I love the brand, I have always liked the intrecciato design, and Bottega's quality is truly one of the best
I bought two designer bags last year. One from Herme and one from BV. I have be really really honest and huts me two say that, I love the BV better. It’s so care free and durable above excellent quality. So I will buy a BV again anytime!
Appreciate how you steadily make your case, then finish with a statement that succinctly completes your presentation with an entertaining flourish. I think that you would make a great lawyer if you ever tire of your current occupation.
I love Bottega's intrecciato weave and have older bags in it. But, as for the really big Andiamo bag in intrecciato weave and not being lined in suede like older bags (Roma), I wouldn't chance it. I can imagine a lot of wear and tear on the intrecciato weave. I think that all of my older Bottega intrecciato weave bags are lined in suede except for one which is an old school (men's) small, crossbody camera bag style, but which I've used as a women's bag. The price of intrecciato weave has skyrocketed to ridiculous prices. Greetings from Los Angeles
Sorry Kylie saying “best investment”, I don’t believe for one moment she paid for that bag, nope … I like it but as soon as it becomes seen everywhere, I’m out !!
I didn't know it was an it bag but loved it from the moment I saw it. I saw it IRL recently and it's actually not as stunning but still quite timeless in its simplicity
I strictly usually follow a classic look I.e black/brown colour pallet. However, if she comes out in the green that’s the same as your Hermes then yes I’ll get her in the medium or small. I am looking for a casual green bag that matches my Veja shoe backs.
My old Bottega garda bag is very similar but I find the andiamo bag even better as my old garda didn’t have a top handle so it’s hard to take things out of the garda when the straps are pulling it tight while you carry it at the same time. The top handle would have solve that problem by letting me carry the handle and loosen the strap to get the things I want from the bag.
very meh. No adjustable strap is a fail for me. I used to like the intrecchiato but once it starts snagging on things, its a nope. I'm especially uninterested in direct proportion to the number of celebrities having a piece. Especially tose K people. Anything those ***** push or endorse will not gat a penny from me.
Refreshing my feed & your new video comes out. Tks for constantly putting out great & enjoyable content. I can actually hold a conversation with a girl because I learn from your videos🤭 Any chance you can do something for the guys? Like a trend update or a hot item!! Anyways I can't for Friday! Have a great week ahead cassie!😂🤩
Just came across this video. I’ve owned the large for an about a month now and use it as a work bag. The way this leather breaks in is incredible. It really becomes a malleable tote bag that is a work horse. I pack my computers and all my tech accessories in it everyday and haul it around and it’s fantastic. I never had to worry about being able to fit everything in the large for a day of traveling around.
Hey Jordan - just came across your comment and I was about to buy the large size for work. Wondering how you’re liking the bag now and whether you find that the straps are comfortable holding all the weight of your laptop etc.?
@@jenniferxie6055 I have the large bag and use it for everything you've described! It's honestly really great. I just made a review of it on my channel too. If you're still trying to decide, it should help!
Great video as always! I’ve been thinking of buying this bag. Btw… is your Acne shirt the aqua blue one that’s currently in the site? Trying to figure out what size to get!
I have the Garda bag which is very similar. I love it in its simplicity and versatility, can be used handheld or as a shoulder bag. Beautiful bag and great quality. Had it for 4 years and does start to show a little tear on corners. But I think that is inevitable for the soft and delicate leather.
I had the Garda bag for many years and used it for work (it carries my laptop at times) so you can imagine the amount of abuse it gets but when I was ready to sell them, they sold at pristine condition! 😂
i personally feel like if ur going for investment like kylie said, this is a great second or third bag to get! but, i definitely think that there is a bag such like the “side trunk” that’s more under the radar and could become just as popular…
Kylie Jenner? NO! All i gonna say goodbye dear Bottega Veneta, personally refuse to buy anything related to Kardashians. Indeed i noticed it too, Bottega started using stiffer - different type of leather since 2018/19. All of my early to mid 2000s Bottega bags are soft & more durable than new versions of same bag😕
I always laugh when people discuss cost per wear. The concept is good but Few of us get any real heavy use from our lux items for the simple reason that most of us over consume. Plus, we come here because we like bags and fashion and likely purchase more than we need. When was the last time anyone wore out a bag? Props to the Olsen twins for championing wearing a bag to death. What can I say, I love switching out bags multiple times a week to match outfits. So cost per wear? A lofty goal perhaps I’ll reach some day. Lol just have fun I say.
First off, LOVE your shirt! You’re looking lovely. But the bag, I’m not sure. Well, yes, I am. I thought it was pretty in the editorial pictures, but when you showed the Bethany F review insert, it looked all pushed in on the sides, and the crossbody function wasn’t good. I’ll admit I can be influenced by “celebrities” when it comes to fashion, but happily my bank account cannot. It’s too much money for a bag with drawbacks. I was thinking, it might be a good second hand but grand purchase once someone else has broken in the leather and softened it up. ❤
I had a woven leather bag similar to this from Banana Republic in 2005 in a dark chocolate color. It should still be around here somewhere. Need to get that out!!
I definitely prefer the Andiamo to the Sardine 😂😂. The only thing off putting about it is as you mentioned - The stiffness-. I guess i have to go in store and try it on (if they have it) Wonderful video again Cassie🎉❤
I tried the bag in the boutique, i really like it! However, a huge issue is the long strap 🥲 not fun at all.. it will stay hanging there unless you tied it 😂😂 .. btw the knot it has a clasp and you can remove the long strap totally and carry it with the handle only .. im waiting for them to find a better way for the strap lol
Let us not forget that Bottega named Kim Namjoon (RM) from BTS a brand ambassador. That will also drive sales and not just for a younger crowd since BTS’s popularity spans many generations.
I have the medium in color-fennel gold. The straps are very stiff at first but will loosen up overtime. The bright green color attracts lots of compliments 😊glad I got it I heard this color is hard to find now.
I was drawn to the Andiamo bag immediately, something about the estethics. But have decided not to buy as I have two older Bottega Veneta bags that have a lot of the same dimensions and look. I must have been early on the «quiet luxury» trend as these goes wayyyhayyyhayy back. If you knew you knew. They are holding up great though. Love your blue shirt🤗. It’s a «me» color.
I really like the way the medium version of this bag looks in pictures. I haven’t seen it in person to form a complete opinion of it yet. I strongly doubt a Jenner/Kardashian would publicly comment on something (other than Hermes) they hadn’t at the very least been gifted, she may genuinely like the bag, but I doubt she had to pay for it.
Cassie - as always, you are a joy to watch! I have been seeing this bag so much and I feel like I should like it. I’m kind of the target demographic, I’m into timeless functional bags but… I don’t like it. Am I a horrible person with no taste ?!? 😂 There’s something about it that feels dated for me. I keep looking at it thinking it’ll grow on me, but no dice. I actually like the mini Wallace, which in bright colors would be so fun! I might drop by the store to see them both. Thank you for doing this video - it was so surprising to see this bag featured after I’ve been thinking about it for the past few weeks (or maybe not so surprising…) ❤
I bought this bag last month,small size in white. Thought I would love it but I didn’t. Returned for these reasons. 1. The color is almost too white, it’s like someone painted it over another color. I’m sure the other colors of this bag wouldn’t have this issue. 2. If you crossbody it, the strap is digging into your shoulder because it’s too thin. 3. It doesn’t have any feet. Even the BV SA said they don’t even understand why this bag doesn’t have feet but the other mini BV bags do. 4. For the small size, the top handle is too small that you cannot really put your arm through it. I’m sure the bigger size would be fine. Overall, I think this bag looks great and versatile but not worth the $$$$ 😊
The bag seems like a perfect go to the store or to lunch bag! I need to see the large in person. The large. Ignition be perfect for work! Thank you for the video!❤
Love this bag! It is really easy going and easy to use it day or night. I have it in size S in the color fondant. I wear a lot of black so the dark brown is a really nice mild pop against the black. in general I love Blazy’s work at bottega.
Another point about celebrity endorsements/sightings is that they drive media coverage and media coverage absolutely influences people even if they don't care about the specific celebrities that generated the media coverage.
I adore your fun, informative, and well researched videos. Thank you for putting your unique perspective in your work. I look forward to hearing what you have to say & seeing your smile every time! I truly appreciate the positivity you put out into the world 🌎
I like the bag, however the 4K is making me cringe. Bottega doesn’t hold its value the way Chanel and Hermes do. If it was around 2500-3500 I could probably do it. But over 4K!
I didn’t like it…until I saw the East/West version 🤦🏻♀️ although, the colors don’t bring me in that they currently offer (white, chocolate and dark lilac). Now, Travertine could sway me.
Not my first choice for a bag. I really don’t like the look of the strap. It looks uncomfortable and I think I would find it terribly annoying. For the cost, there are many others that I would pick.
Was at the Milan store this week and the SA mentioned there’s going to be a price increase soon for the Andiamo prob in mid Nov. So whoever wanna get this bag, get it now! I got it in Small :)
Hey! Cassie I really really addicted to your daily videos and I love your videos a lot you inspired me a lot and I wish you have a wonderful day always 😭💗💫
Gonna be honest. Was really excited about this when it first dropped and the Bottega bags I own all feel unbelievably beautiful BUT when i got this in my hands I was not impressed. It felt stiff, the strap was unmanageable and the body was just ok. Nothing like the soft “denim” leather cassette or even the squishy little loop camera bag.
The stiff leather strap would dig into your arm or shoulder, especially in larger (and heavier) sizes. Otherwise I don't actually mind a functional bag 😅
If I buy a bag that is 5K, I want it to hold it's value, incase I want to sell it at some point. Although beautiful, this bag will not hold it's value, let alone increase in value.
She’s a nice bag, but I don’t feel called to take one home 😂 the weave feels a bit boho to me, which doesn’t fit my wardrobe at all. I love a statement bag/coat/shoe/skirt (usually in one outfit) so I’ll stick to collecting all of the bejeweled Pradas I can afford 😊💖
@@ilikealotofthings731 I agree with your point on quality but the reality remains that if one is able to buy between Chanel or Bottega for a similar price point, a majority of luxury consumers would choose Chanel. We can’t ignore the intangible value of a brand in a luxury handbag space

I love it!! very practical. So I will put this on my watch list and wait a couple of years for them to show up on the second hand market.
I love it. More so on RM ❤

However, if she comes out in the green that’s the same as your Hermes then yes I’ll get her in the medium or small.

1. The color is almost too white, it’s like someone painted it over another color. I’m sure the other colors of this bag wouldn’t have this issue.
2. If you crossbody it, the strap is digging into your shoulder because it’s too thin.
3. It doesn’t have any feet. Even the BV SA said they don’t even understand why this bag doesn’t have feet but the other mini BV bags do.
4. For the small size, the top handle is too small that you cannot really put your arm through it. I’m sure the bigger size would be fine.
Overall, I think this bag looks great and versatile but not worth the $$$$ 😊
I still missing the "it" bag from this brand... I am still searching🧐, and the east west style might be the ONE.. 🙂
The bag seems like a perfect go to the store or to lunch bag! I need to see the large in person. The large. Ignition be perfect for work! Thank you for the video!❤
I know Bottega is the loudest quiet luxury brand because I keep getting served their ads every time I watch your videos
I’m deaddd 😂😂
I stan this bag so much - timeless IMO!
Love this bag! It is really easy going and easy to use it day or night. I have it in size S in the color fondant. I wear a lot of black so the dark brown is a really nice mild pop against the black. in general I love Blazy’s work at bottega.
I love it! I really see its appeal. The shape, it's functionality, texture and how it looks understated. An everyday bag that really works.
It's a beautiful bag🤗
Another point about celebrity endorsements/sightings is that they drive media coverage and media coverage absolutely influences people even if they don't care about the specific celebrities that generated the media coverage.
I adore your fun, informative, and well researched videos. Thank you for putting your unique perspective in your work. I look forward to hearing what you have to say & seeing your smile every time! I truly appreciate the positivity you put out into the world 🌎
I like the bag, however the 4K is making me cringe. Bottega doesn’t hold its value the way Chanel and Hermes do. If it was around 2500-3500 I could probably do it. But over 4K!
I didn’t like it…until I saw the East/West version 🤦🏻♀️ although, the colors don’t bring me in that they currently offer (white, chocolate and dark lilac). Now, Travertine could sway me.
Funny how they try to make new designs happen, while outrageously hiking up prices. I get the reason, but the product doesn’t justify it, good luck
Not my first choice for a bag. I really don’t like the look of the strap. It looks uncomfortable and I think I would find it terribly annoying. For the cost, there are many others that I would pick.
Was at the Milan store this week and the SA mentioned there’s going to be a price increase soon for the Andiamo prob in mid Nov. So whoever wanna get this bag, get it now! I got it in Small :)
I saw the small size irl, it's one of the first Bottega bags post their rebrand that I can actually see myself wearing
Luxurious, practical, and attractive. So great as far as it goes, but it does not go as far as being "It". 💙
Excellent point!!!
Compare it to the Chanel 22. It's on another planet with quality, craftsmanship, durability, etc. I went there because of same price range.

I adore you Cassie ❤
😂🙈🙈
Gorgeous bag! The price makes me puke tho 😭
Hot or not I don’t like it. It’s too structured. Looks like a work bag. Prefer the Jodie as a classic BV bag.
I'm sure Kylie likes the bag, but if Kris Jenner has taught her anything, she's not giving free publicity 😂
Hey! Cassie I really really addicted to your daily videos and I love your videos a lot you inspired me a lot and I wish you have a wonderful day always
😭💗💫
Thank you so much 😭 have a wonderful day too 💖💖
Gonna be honest. Was really excited about this when it first dropped and the Bottega bags I own all feel unbelievably beautiful BUT when i got this in my hands I was not impressed. It felt stiff, the strap was unmanageable and the body was just ok. Nothing like the soft “denim” leather cassette or even the squishy little loop camera bag.
The stiff leather strap would dig into your arm or shoulder, especially in larger (and heavier) sizes. Otherwise I don't actually mind a functional bag 😅
If I buy a bag that is 5K, I want it to hold it's value, incase I want to sell it at some point. Although beautiful, this bag will not hold it's value, let alone increase in value.
It certainly wasn’t on my radar. Who knew?
And is that the same Kylie Jenner who has a whole room full of Birkins?
I’m with you Cassie, this bag is not giving me much for $5,000. No wow factor👎🏻IDC who’s carrying it lol
She’s a nice bag, but I don’t feel called to take one home 😂 the weave feels a bit boho to me, which doesn’t fit my wardrobe at all. I love a statement bag/coat/shoe/skirt (usually in one outfit) so I’ll stick to collecting all of the bejeweled Pradas I can afford 😊💖
Bottega, you just need to douse the Andiamo with crystals and Cassie will get one 😆😋
That’s the quickest way to get me 😂
@@CassieThorpe ok but real talk... The price is not pricing for me like... that's almost Chanel money?
@@nubnub75But let's face it, Chanel's current quality is miles below Bottega Veneta
@@ilikealotofthings731 I agree with your point on quality but the reality remains that if one is able to buy between Chanel or Bottega for a similar price point, a majority of luxury consumers would choose Chanel. We can’t ignore the intangible value of a brand in a luxury handbag space
I’m all for men carrying their own bags so i lowkey hope this becomes an it bag😂
The problem is.... that soft leather is going to look battered as an 'everyday' bag. I love it though.
It actaully is pretty cute!!! Im not down for 4k....i could do like 2-3k. But im out at 4
