Matching Bottega Veneta bag and sandal

They are in Magma colour, from SS11 collection. Magma is salmon pink if I can describe.
The sandal was from the recent shopping haul during BV end of season sale in June 2011.

Bottega Veneta Fire Opal and comparison with Hermes's Orange

Last week I went to BV store just to check out their FW11 collection. I saw Resina, Sapphire, Tourmaline, Periodot, Ametiste, Corniola, Rust and Fire Opal.

Resina is quite similar with Curry, but Resina has more yellow undertone (I compared curry and resine side-by-side in the store. Lucky that I wore my Curry Sloane at that day).
Sapphire is a nice striking blue that I also like. But I recently bought YSL Easy bag ini similar blue undertone so that I refrained from inspecting further.
Ametiste is a cute pink but not as soft as baby pink.
Corniola is simply too bright. It is a super bright orange-ish red.
Tourmaline is very very very dark blue that I initially thought it was black lol.
Peridot is a fresh green, but it only one level darker from my beloved Assenzio. Hence I did not make any attempt to inquire further.
Rust is a brick red or terracota colour.
Fire Opal is a super gorgeous orange that I fell in love with the colour at the first sight. It is like Hermes orange. The shade of orange I adore so much.

The store did not have many items in Fire Opal. I saw Large Veneta Fuzzy in fire opal which in my opinion is very beautiful. The fuzzy makes an edgy twist for the classic veneta. But I still hesitated about the fuzzy as I have 3 kids that I am afraid they will love to pull out the fuzzy part from the bag lol

And there is this continental wallet in fire opal that I could not be part with. Hence tha wallet came home with me

I am still curious for Topaz orange which is also part of FW11 collection. The SA promised to contact me if Topaz large veneta is available in the store. I really want to  make comparison Topaz vs. Fire Opal. I think I have decided to get another large veneta in orange, either fire opal or topaz.


These are some prices as of June 2011 that I can still remember.
3way convertible tote 36.5
Large veneta fuzzy 24.5
Large veneta regular 21.5
Continental wallet 7.3

YSL Easy Bag

 

This is my recent shopping haul from YSL during its end of season sale in early June.

After searching and browsing around this bag style in YSL website, I just noticed that the color is simply refered to 'BLUE'. It is such a very basic color naming.

I think YSL needs to learn from Balenciaga or Bottega Veneta in naming the seasonal colours of their bags LOL.

Anyway, the bags has been continuosly used since the purchase, and this is a great everyday bag. Easy access, double zipper pull, sluchy, great colour and unique (not so many ladies are seen carrying this bag style). Not forget to mention that the leather is divine! No wonder that it is named 'EASY"

A cool and classic everyday carryall
