Aaahhh! I talked about this exact bag a while back, when it was only available in ebano and copper. The former was way, way too dark for skin tone and the copper was was too orange-y for my tastes. But this elephant color is perfect! If I have a tan, it compliments it and if I don’t have a tan, well it doesn’t give too much contrast. So plus, plus. You do have to think about these things when contemplating a handbag purchase. And I have seen this bag in person, and the leather is exceptionally soft, which is a given, and quite large, but it is smooshy, squishy, and curves to the body. Love love love. And this is at the max of my comfort price zone for a bag, which is fantabulous, since I’m not willing to spend more than $1,500 on a bag at this point. And when has Bottega Veneta ever had an amazing bag BELOW that price range?? Exactly! Which seriously makes this a bargain buy for them from the get-go, but as always I will hunt down every sale, discount, coupon code to get a bag that I really want. Unless of course it’s from one of the snobbier labels that doesn’t do it, and then you just have to bite the bullet 
. The only +/- is the elephant color is on pre-order, but that is fine by me! Available at Saks for $1,380.
