Drape yourself in Bottega Veneta’s taut silhouettes of light, unconstrained intrecciato woven leather that feels skin-like.
Defined by its Intrecciato weave, which was founded in 1975 in Venice, Bottega Veneta is known for its slender leather fettuccine (strips) woven into a perforated leather base. This unique savoir-faire ensures that Bottega Veneta’s silhouettes are soft, distinct and dynamic. But it all started with Lauren Hutton, who carried an Intrecciato clutch in the 1980 film American Gigolo. Since then, the Italian fashion house has formed a reputation for craft and creativity. And, despite the brand’s no-logo philosophy, Bottega Veneta remains one of the most timeless bags to own.
Today, the House has experimented with infinite shapes, colours, structures and sizes, crafting covetable everyday essentials such as the Andiamo, Parachute, Knot Clutch and the Campana.
Meet Bottega Veneta’s icons:
Andiamo
Inspired by the Italian phrase “Let’s Go”, the Andiamo is a tribute to going places. Crafted in Bottega Veneta’s signature Intrecciato weave, the Andiamo effortlessly transitions from day to night with its versatile braided leather straps.
Parachute
Drawing from the heritage Parachute tote, this compact iteration merges archival DNA with Andiamo’s signature elements. The bag’s sculptural form emerges through strategic folding and corner stitching, creating an architectural silhouette that’s both structured and soft. Carry it by hand or around your shoulders; it’s a powerful piece to elevate your wardrobe.
Knot Clutch
The Knot Clutch stands as Bottega Veneta’s enduring masterpiece. Defined by its sculptural knot closure, this iconic piece continues to evolve through innovative materials and refined Intrecciato techniques.
Campana
The Campana strikes a perfect harmony between architectural precision and tactile luxury. This reimagined archival form opens to unveil a surprisingly generous interior—deliberately unlined to showcase Bottega Veneta’s masterful construction.
As Bottega Veneta continues to evolve its iconic language for a new generation, these four pillars—Andiamo, Parachute, Knot Clutch, and Campana—represent more than mere accessories. They are investments in artistry, companions for life’s journey and quiet statements of discerning taste. In a world of fleeting trends, Bottega Veneta’s commitment to craft ensures these pieces will only grow more precious with time. From Lauren Hutton’s clutch moment in 1980 to today’s contemporary interpretations, Bottega Veneta has mastered the art of quiet luxury—where craftsmanship speaks louder than logos.
