I rented yet another bag with Fobe and give you a deep dive honest review of the Bottega Veneta Sardine bag in this video. Since I didn’t spend my own money on that quite expensive luxury bag, I can be brutally honest with you and tell you everything, no one else tells you about the Bottega Veneta Sardine bag. Did you for example know, that it comes with purposely manufactured flaws on the handle and that it's nearly impossible to make it look, like on the product pictures? In this Bottega Veneta Sardine bag review, you will learn everything you need to know about that bag, to make a decision wether you want to get it or not. I will give you the Sardine Bag's measurements, show you what the bag fits, how it looks worn in mod shots and a hole lot more.

“I cannot make the bag smile” 😂😂😂 Aussage des Tages!

I would buy the sardine bag preloved 8 years from now when the trend is over and for $800 USD in excellent condition! That's my truth 🎉🎉❤

For $800 I might get tempted aswell, but probably would want a black one 😁🖤

If an artisan made marks on a handle deliberately, I would want them to be highly artistic marks, not nasty scratches. Very shocking. The theory you and hubby came up with sounds feasible to me! Thank you for the video.

Great review, Mary! 💕. The shape turns me off. I expected that it would smile, too, and every time I’ve seen this bag it just looks flat and floppy. 😕. Tiffany and Fred makes a dupe with real leather that retails for about $130 USD. I don’t even think I want a dupe after your review. And yes, this bag is too expensive to have random marks that they are trying to pass off as artistic. Thanks for taking one for the team and helping us avoid a huge mistake!

Uuh you got me curious gor the Tiffany and Fred one - without marks on the handle, it might be worth $130 to me 🤔💕

You are like a fresh breeze in the warm summer months❣️I watch quite a couple of bag lovers but you are by far my favorite…You are so honest and fair about everything,I really like that. I have been watching your videos for quite some time and I have seen you grow so much! You have so much more self confidence than in the beginning. I could probably never do what you do..I would not survive the hate comments. I hope you will make more and more videos like this.Love watching them.🙏🏻🥰 By the way,I loved it so much when you told us you couldn’t make the bag smile! I always pretend seeing faces in and on everything…it was a relief finding out I am not the only one!😄

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 I know you‘ve been watching for quite a while - and I can tell aswell, that I got more confident in front of the camera with time. RU-vid got quite good with detecting hate comments and deleting them right away😁, I only get to see one every other week (luckily, cause sometimes they can really get me 😅🙈). Thank you for your support ❤️

great video! I've noticed quite a few people who try to style grey bags and struggle to put together looks due to the color. You are not alone! And it gives me pause when I think about choosing a bag in that color versus other color options. Thanks!

thanks for the review! never cared much for this bag but it is an interesting one to examine from up close. that handle tho, i had no idea it had these "artisan" marks 😂btw, a bit off topic - maybe you talked about this in some of your videos already, sorry if you did - but as a european, where do you typically sell your luxury items besides VC & ebay? i hate that some online platforms like the real-real etc. are off limits to us non US folk. if you could share any tips where you had good experience, that would be great, thank you!
@LuMiLevelUp
@LuMiLevelUp Месяц назад
Thank you for your comment Lana Marie ☺️ - since I made terrible experiences with VC, I‘m unfortunately still searching for my new go-to-platfrom. I‘ve been using Vinted for years and really enjoy it (but it definitely works better for non-luxury items - and you have to be careful to not get scammend, like on so many platforms 😕). I heard ebay improved their services a lot and I want to give them a closer look. Other than that, unfortunately I think VC kind of has a monopoly 😫. Checking out smaller consignment websites in your country or even preloved boutiques in your hometown might be another option. But you’re definitely right: people from the US have so much more choices with it

Bottega's leather - like everything else - used to be much, much better. Much softer and more luxurious.

I think you would be able to tie together looks if you wear golden details. Like something with golden buttons, golden zipper, golden jewelery, or something with contrasting grey stitching (which is rare, not gonna lie) and shoes with golden buckles or golden something on it, maybe a golden shoe lace.. I hope your next rented bag will be more to your taste. I will travel to Berlin in September, do you know good markets or outlets there?
@LuMiLevelUp
@LuMiLevelUp Месяц назад
Golden details sound like a great idea (I loved the look with the white two-piece shorts and short blazer-blouse with golden buttons a lot aswell).✨ When it comes to Berlin: I only visited the „RAW-Flohmarkt“ and „Flohmarkt im Mauerpark“ so far, which were very nice to stroll trough, but I unfortunately didn’t find any luxury bargains there (guess part of the reason is, that Berlin for the most has a very relaxed, sometimes even alternative style). There are definitely very affluent areas in Berlin aswell, but unfortunately I didn’t discover any flea markets in those. But the markets are definitely worth a visit, maybe you‘ll find a gem! The so called „Designer Outlet Berlin“ in Wustermark in my opinion isn’t worth a trip. They are called „Designer Outlet“ but don’t carry a single luxury brand 🙈 just contemporary ones and sports brands. A hidden gem in Berlin in my opinion is „Bonjour Berlin“ a little outlet boutique in the middle of the luxury shopping streat Kurfürstendamm 203/205, 10719 Berlin. They carry Dolce&Gabbana, Gucci, Balenciaga, YSL, Fendi and many more for about 60% off. As it always is: it needs some luck with the timing, to find beautiful pieces and ideally even additional discounted - but whenever I‘m in Berlin, I definitely visit them. Enjoy your trip 💕

@@LuMiLevelUp Thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely visit the boutique, ❤🧡❤🧡❤ I think I will stay with the boutique option, I'm bad at identifying dupes. In Hungary we don't have these kind of shops, and I only have a vintage Gucci and vintage Burberry bag (I think they are legit, because I have them since years and they don't show any wear and tear, so really good quality), so I'm not really able to touch a current trend bag.

I would buy the bag for 400$. The scratch handle, the fact it would be hard and painful to have on the forarm/ crock of your arm, there is absolutely no inside protection liner. So you risk losing earrings and other small stuff between the leather when it gets softer and loser. I feel for the price Bottega demand they could have made a gorgeous liner inside. My little Gucci marmont in irredescent lambskin have such a luxurious satin liner inside and the price was half of Bottega.

To me it looks like the pieces used for pictures have a larger opening, which allows the bag to fold onto itself like this. I don't think the leather would relax that much. Also, welcome to 2024 where you have to pay a premium for pre--scuffed hardware 🤣 Ridiculous. But then again, enough pushing on social media and anything will sell, for any price.
@LuMiLevelUp
@LuMiLevelUp Месяц назад
Good point about the possibly larger opening on the product pictures 😳 but why produce it differently then? 🤔 Best thing about the scratches on the handle: the use on it hardly can get any worse 😂🙈
