The Label

Bottega Veneta was launched by Vittorio and Laura Moltedo in 1966. It developed as a family business of luxury leather accessories in Vicenza, near Venice. Today it designs both men's and women's ready-to-wear line. Bottega is seen as a timeless signature brand by many. It is also known for not putting its label or any logos on goods. Bottega Veneta brand boasts distinctive styling, yet is only labelled on the inside. Bottega Veneta’s approach is best summed up by a company slogan that loosely translates as "When your own initials are enough"

The Designer

German-born Tomas Maier took the helm in 2001 and revived the flagging brand by injecting a more modern feel and reworking the traditional woven leather signature.

The Look

At $3,000 per bag, the Bottega handbag boasts classic clean lines, the softest leathers, and a classic palette rather than trend-driven designs. Bottega is most known for its hand-woven leather bags, belts, and shoes. Maier’s ready-to-wear women’s line possesses the same timeless, ultra-luxurious look.
