Bottega Veneta

Founded in Vicenza in 1966, Bottega Veneta built its identity on a workshop technique, intrecciato, the leather weaving technique that renders any signature superfluous: "when your own initials suffice." A house of understated luxury par excellence, acquired by Kering in 2001, it has experienced significant chapters with Tomas Maier, then Daniel Lee and Matthieu Blazy, whose Sardine tote bags and trompe-l'œil leathers reaffirmed the primacy of the material. Jodie and Andiamo bags, Lug shoes: discretion remains the ultimate form of recognition.
