In the age of sleek, minimalist shoulder bags (à la The Row), there are still some folks who prefer purses that are a bit more statement-making. The celebrity bag of choice? Bottega Veneta’s Jodie. Sure, it’s not new to the scene, but its elevated feel and quiet sophistication have cemented it as (still) one of the It bags to have.
It’s not hard to see why everyone loves it so much–it’s easy to pair and it instantly makes any outfit look more put-together, what with the artisanal appeal of the brand’s signature intrecciato weave. The Jodie’s round shape and knot detail also add a contemporary twist. Plus, it can be worn on the crook of the arm or used as a handbag, while the bigger versions can be worn on the shoulder. So versatile!
