The Holt Renfrew pop-up is the only place you can get your hands on this colour in the country.

If you’ve been pondering buying a Pouch bag from Bottega Veneta, might we suggest that now is the perfect time to do so, given that the brand has just released an exclusive colourway to celebrate its new pop-up in Vancouver?

Opening today, the pop-up is located in Vancouver’s Holt Renfrew, and will run until October 24. The store will house a wide selection of Fall 2020 womenswear pieces, including accessories, footwear and leather goods – specifically the brand’s cult-favourite Pouch handbag. In celebration of the pop-up, the brand has launched the Chain Pouch bag in a Porridge colour with a chunky gold chain detail ($5,040) and the pop-up is the only place to get your hands on the colour in Canada. The bag is already a wear-with-everything staple in the wardrobes of the fashion industry and Hollywood’s most stylish women, and this beautiful neutral is no exception.

And in case you need any more of a reason to make the bag yours, luxury handbag resale site Rebag just released the first report associated with Clair, its automated luxury appraisal index which launched last year. According to the report, the Pouch is a very safe bet for value retention. In fact, the Pouch has an 86 per cent value retention on average. Bottega Veneta handbags in general have increased in value retention by 10 per cent in 2020 versus 2019, too – the brand’s Jodie Hobo is another good investment option, with a 95 per cent average value retention.

With the holidays right around the corner, this little beauty has skyrocketed right to the top of our wishlists.
