First Bottega!
So I bought the Notturno in brown suede. I was caught between the dark brown (fondant) and blue suede (mineral). But went for the brown only cause it will serve me more, more versatile, don’t have to baby it and is also a timeless color. (Don’t get me wrong, the blue was just gorgeous, unique and went so well with denim).
The longer story.
Background is …I was certain about buying the black leather mini pouch 20 last year but kept delaying it till it got (almost) discontinued. In the regret, did a lot of searching and found a couple of stores selling it. While searching online, I happened to come across the Notturno. I felt this might be more apt as it looked a bit more spacious for an everyday errand bag. (Basically phone, wallet and kindle). I knew the mini pouch 20 looked so good but won’t fit my kindle.
So fast forward to last week, I had to pull the plug on the black leather mini pouch with a seller but thought I should go check out the Notturno in person. I loved it so much at the store and then came the color options. I was certain about wanting a small black leather but the suede especially the light blue initially blew my mind. In comparison to the black leather, all the three suede options turned out to be better (the light blue, dark brown and light brown). Thought about it over coffee after visiting the store.
Pulled the plug on the brown suede Notturno. So what started of as need for a small black leather bag. What started of as the search for the mini pouch turned into this.
Am so happy. She is already out on two outings with me :) she is spacious and not a struggle to fit everything.
