Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie Review
I wasn’t always planning on buying the Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie. In fact, they’d become pretty commonplace I was seeing them all the time. BUT, I couldn’t shake the idea of her. The mini Jodie is so cute. S0 transportable. So easy when you want a mini bag! Once I saw it in the grey suede, I was hooked. I have zero gray bags and it’s a pretty easy neutral to wear.
Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie Review
A few highlights:
Bottega Veneta is significantly cheaper in Europe right now.
I bought it in Amsterdam and the retail price was 1800 Euro and it was $2500 in the states. The dollar was actually stronger when I bought it. AND since I bought it, the prices have done up (in Europe). I submitted the VAT refund and expect to get about $400ish back. All in all, I saved about $900 buying this in Europe vs. the States. Worth noting, I didn’t claim it when I returned to the US.
The bag is SMALL.
I have an iPhone 13 ProMax, which is big. I can fit the phone in there, but it’s tight. A credit card, lipstick, and my keys is all I need and it fits…thank goodness. Good thing she’s cute.
Trendy or timeless?
Good question. Probably a bit of both. The bag is BV’s signature Intrecciato leather has been popular for decades–and this one is suede, which makes it even more special in my opinion. Of course, I think the popularity of the mini Jodie will fade but I see myself carrying it for a long time and most likely holding onto it because it’s a little more classic than trendy. They also said the Chanel boy bag was trendy but I bought myself one when I turned 30 and never regretted it–I still carry it constantly.
So all in all, no regrets on buying the Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie! Any other questions I can answer?
