Hi! I remember trying this trick with a wax candle on a zipper of some puffer jacket, worked wonders:) Haven’t tried the wax paper though but will give it a try as a candle may be too ”greasy” for a bag… Thanks for a good tip lovely ☺️💛
Hi 💜 Wow in suede, so classy! Hope you’ll enjoy it! 🙌 I was actually thinking about moss/khaki green bag in suede. Is the bottegas certificate of craft provided even for suede bags? Please share after using it for a while if the handle is not getting datler easily (that’s what I was a bit afraid about hence ordered a darker in smooth leather)
Great thorough review of this beautiful bag. And I love the color you chose. I have tons of Birkins , Kelly’s, and classic Chanels, but I carry my Jodies the most. I have 5 in sizes teens, small and medium. I carry my kiwi teen a lot during the Spring and Summer and my small and medium during the Fall and Winter. Also, I love to carry my medium when wearing big coats. It’s the perfect Winter bag.
Hi lovely, thanks for your feedback 💜 Interesting that you carry the Jodies the most! What is your fav size & color? And by the way, have you also noticed those wrinkle forming due to vertical stiching lines in 2 parts of the bag, as I showed on mine?
oh my gosh thanks for the thorough review. I thought I was the crazy one or doubted the authenticity of my preloved jodie. From the wear to the leather along the zipper line, to the mysterious stitch line down the middle of the bag, to the uneven stitch design of one side to the other. No one talks about any of these things! Albeit at the end of the day she’s a beauty and one of my most beautiful bags. But you must take care of it if you don’t want the weaving to start to wear too fast. One thing I do for the zip, everytime I zip/unzip, I’ll pinch the zipper from both sides so the leather is pulled away from the pull. So to avoid more wear. Thanks again!
Hi lovely, you are so welcome 💜 I was watching quite many reviews before purchasing this one and was also surprised that nobody ever mention such details as the stiching lines. Perhaps they are not so obvious from the first sight, but I do notice every detail, haha 🧐🤓😉 Great tip for the zipper, I actually started doing the same. However, I keep it open most of the time! What’s the size & color of your Jodie and do you enjoy it?:)
@@lilac.moonlight 💛 I actually have the medium size in the grape color. I fell in love with that color and hunted it down preloved on eBay. as you can imagine the nail biting, but it went through eBay authentication and I authenticated it separately so all good. Great question, do I enjoy it? haha. I am a taller person and I had hopes the medium would have much more room for the shoulder carry, but it's still a struggle! And the bag is heavy! which again a lot of ppl don't really mention. I'm guilty of this too, you want to love a brand/bag so much we almost make concessions for its cons. haha.
@@beebeeme2023 oh the jodie in grape looks stunning! 🍇 I can imagine that sizes bigger than teen get heavy when filled. However, they look very convenient on a shoulder. Haha, sometimes when we love a design we indeed tend to ignore some of the other aspects of an item 🙈 As long as it gives joy it’s still worth keeping:)
Hi thank you for great review with lots of detailing. I just want to share what I found in my bottega hop bag. Not sure if you notice the leather is glue/sealed with a fabric underneath and it eventually tear apart after used for a while such heart breaking 😢
Hi lovely, you’re welcome 💜 I haven’t noticed that, in which part of the bag do you see it? Sounds like something they would fix using the cerrificate of craft (lifetime warranty) if you have it… Hope it gets resolved!
@@lilac.moonlight hi thank you for get back with me. So I went back to store today and check out all other bottega veneta hop bag and realized partial of the leather in hop bag around the handle area having some kind of fabric that is glued/ sealed together underneath with leather I think they just want to make it more stronger however after use for a while the fabric and the leader will tear apart, you know like when the glue got loses. I checked all the.Jodie bag and I don’t see that any of it has that fabric in sealed with leather. So I guess only on the hop bag I took a picture if you want me to share with you.
Thank you lovely, I’m glad you like the review 💜 Green is certainly my colour:) I was also eyeing a forest/military kind of green that Valextra bags have.
Run wax paper along the zipper and it’ll help it glide smoothly. I’ve done this to wallets and bags and it works like a charm!

Thank you for the very detailed review. I’m considering to purchase a teen Jodie. It is very helpful.😊
Hi lovely 💜 I’m glad to hear the review was useful, I hope it helps to choose what’s right for you!
This color is stunning!

I just bought this exact bag in olive green suede today! After watching your review, I’m even more excited for it to arrive! 🙏🏽😍🥳

Your belt is so cute! Where did you get it? Please post a link if you can! 🙏🏽💗 Green is also my favorite color 💚😍
Hi lovely 💚 Nice to meet another green-lover! The belt is from Pinko, it’s called ”love birds leather belt” :)
Beautiful colour! I hope you get the wear out of it… 💚 great review though!
