Place of origin
Italy (made)

Founded in Vicenza in 1966, Bottega Veneta is a leather specialist that is synonymous with the new stealth luxury. In the absence of any evident logo or brand name, only those ‘in the know’ can identify a Bottega Veneta design – and its cost. The ‘intrecciato’ or woven handbags are typical of their logo-free functional essence.
