This Andiamo was the first designer bag I ever purchsed. It's what started the obsession. Very few can beat the leather of Bottega in my opinion, but I've always been extra careful aboout when and where I use this bag because I'm nervous about the leather scratching. I've also recently gone into the rabbit hole of high end reps, so why use my auths when I have those bags to spare?

But! It's a bag! It's meant to be used, leather is going to wear, and there's no reason to deprive myself of feeling special and proud to be wearing such a gorgeous bag.

So 2026 is the year! I will use my bags whenever and however I want to because life is too short ????
