Battle Of The Bags: Bottega Vs. Quince Vs. Anthropologie - The Mom Edit

Over the last few years, we’ve spied a TON of bags with the same type of style: woven leather handbag with a knotted top handle and a slightly glossy sheen. (AKA, the Bottega Veneta Jodie Bag.) This specific bag seems to be a reeeeally popular (and pretty dang timeless) piece so we wanted to compare. For research. *winks*

For that research, we grabbed Brit, previous owner of a gorgeous leather bag company, Tesoro, for seven years. She knows a thing or two about craftsmanship, quality, pricing and leather, let me tell ya. It was fascinating to hear her critiques and design preferences (and now I kind of wanna bounce every leather purchase off of her first haha).

In our latest video, Brit reviews the luxurious Bottega Veneta Jodie Bag, along with some very…similar looking bags from Quince and Anthropologie. If you love the look of woven leather that is a signature of Bottega (but don’t necessarily want to, uhh, splurge), you miiiiight want to give Quince’s and Anthro’s options a look as well. Here are our recommendations.

Spoiler alert: One’s jaw-droopingly beautiful (and costs a pretty penny), one’s shockingly great Italian leather (under $200) and one’s similar but synthetic (around that same price). Well, well, well…
