I have a disorder. I can't walk into
SCP without buying something. Yesterday I met up with DZ and T for lunch and "window-shopping". No harm if I just run into
Bottega and ask the SA a few quick questions about the new Orchid color available for S/S 2010, right? WRONG. Before I knew it, she was showing me a bag that had been set aside for one of her regular customers. The updated
Aquilone (Italian for "kite") in Orchid. Heavenly soft leather (as in Chanel Soft-Chain type of buttery softness) tie-dyed to
BV standards and finished off with just a teeny-tiny bit of signature
Bottega weaving. Uh, how could I not try my hardest to charm my way into getting this purse?! The manager said that the customer who ordered this bag was probably out of the country and since the
Aquilone (available in Orchid, Yolk, and Cigar) is starting to trickle into stores, they figured by the time she gets back in town, they will have no trouble locating another one for her.
SOOOOOOOOO...presenting my new baby:
The SA told me that I was probably one of the first to own this purse in the entire country. Again, big thanks to the shopping gods and I strongly believe this was due to the good deed I had done earlier in the week :D
Considering its size, quality/color of leather,
BV name brand, and THREE compartments, the
Aquilone is an absolute STEAL. Lets just say its cheaper than the purple lizards my CL SA had on hold for me.
The technique is also new to
BV. The leather is folded and then dyed. Hence the tie-dye effect. Add all of this together and you'll understand why I was jumping and squealing in joy yesterday when I was handing over the CC ^.^

gorgeous! congrats!
lol, you're hilarious. I didn't know one could actually feel like jumping with joy handing over their credit card. That's why I try to avoid going to SCP...btw,love the color of this purse!
The color is amazing, and it looks so soft!
Congrats on your new bag!! oohhh~ the color is gorgeous, it looks like pinkish-purple, a really good color for the spring!
Absolutely stunning. The tie-dye effect is so tastefully done. I suppose only BV could do something like that. The bag definitely looks better in your pics than it did on the runway. Congrats on your purchase. You're obviously in love with it.
Thank you, SCF!
Junee - LOL, yes I am a bit weird...not that I'm happy to be paying but happy to be able to have it within my possession! Thank you!
Michelle - the leather quality is seriously second to none! Orchid is probably my second favorite BV color, next to Turbulence :)
Thank you, Thavasa and Dania!
such a pretty color!
Wow, what a nice bag! I've always liked the color purple, but that color is something else!
OMG I completely understand... So beautiful!
Thank you, chantal, Lisa, and The Girl!! The color probably best described as a deep magenta. I've seen pics of the yolk and cigar and they are amazing as well!!
