Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta is an Italian luxury goods house best known for its signature "intrecciato" weave. Under its famous mantra, "When your own initials are enough," the brand stands for discreet, logo-less luxury.
Heritage
Founded in Vicenza, the heart of the Veneto region's leather-working tradition, Bottega Veneta (meaning "Venetian Shop") quickly became known for its artisanal quality. The intrecciato weave was developed to make its soft leathers more durable and became an instant signature.
Craftsmanship
The intrecciato technique, where strips of leather are woven together by hand, requires immense skill and is central to the house's identity. Every artisan undergoes extensive training to master this and other complex leather-working skills.
Philosophy
The brand champions individuality and confidence, offering luxury that is felt, not just seen. First under Tomas Maier and now under Matthieu Blazy, the philosophy remains rooted in exceptional materials, artisanal skill, and a sophisticated, timeless aesthetic.
