I mean, I’ve gotten *boxes* for my Cabats. Plural. Cabats! Like, you’d expect that, right? Because they’re, you know, kind of pricey and structured. And Bottega Veneta online? Yeah, usually boxes. Makes sense. But then you get a Veneta, and sometimes it’s box city, and other times… just a dust bag. Just. A. Dust. Bag. Like, seriously? It’s kinda hit or miss, and honestly, a bit annoying. You’d think they’d have a system, but nope!
And I get it, right? They’re all about that quiet luxury thing. You know, the *if you know, you know* vibe. Which is why the logo situation is so interesting. You *never* want a Bottega with a huge, blaring logo. Eww. That’s just… wrong. It’s gotta be small, discreet, embossed, like it’s whispering “yeah, I’m expensive, but I don’t need to shout about it”. Early bags might have slightly different stuff going on, apparently, but generally, it’s all about that subtle flex.
Pinterest is actually your friend here. Seriously, search “Bottega packaging” and you’ll get a million ideas. It’s kinda fun, especially if you’re a packaging nerd like me.
Now, back to the whole box vs. dust bag situation. I kinda think it depends on the shape of the bag? Like, a slouchy Veneta is probably fine in a dust bag, but something more structured needs that cardboard support, you know? But then again, I’ve gotten slouchy bags in boxes too, so who even knows? Maybe it depends on the mood of the person packing it that day? *shrugs*
And belt bags? Oh man, those are cute. I haven’t actually gotten one yet, but I can only imagine the packaging is equally…unpredictable.
