Even Tomas Maier in the mighty house of Bottega Veneta could not get it right all the time, every time. Which he has led us to believe possible following his seasons after seasons of lust-worthy bags that put logo-craze to stop.

There are a few bags in the latest cruise 2009 collection which i will not approve. Frankly, they are still nowhere as bad as what Fendi has become for the last few seasons but for the price point Bottega sets for their bags, i think we could do better than the Cobalt Gorgiera Boston bag which costs a jaw-dropping USD 5,860 (left). I acknowledge the extensive hours of workmanship being put into the creation of this bag but no matter how hard i try, the only good thing i could see about this bag is the delicious Cobalt color and if i really have to have that, i would rather go with the classic Intreciatto Nappa Capri in the same shade for USD 2,960 (right) and put the balance of my money into some better use. How about you? Would you rather spend the 6 Grands on one piece which might be on sale a few months from now?
