Handbags

Matthieu Blazy’s sophomore collection for Bottega Veneta championed a kind of subtle luxury that’s oft hard to come by; at once daringly chic and overtly quiet, it speaks to the women who have bustling lives to live – but want to look good while doing it. The Andiamo bag, which is defined by the label’s signature Intrecciato weave and gold-tone knot hardware, is made for the busy cosmopolitan – its name even translates to ‘let’s go’. Attach the adjustable strap when you're on the go.

To think of the Cassette cross-body bag as logo-less is to underestimate the power Bottega Veneta holds over leatherworking techniques; in fact, its sleek Intreccio-woven structure conveys far more about brand origins than monikers and motifs ever could. That’s the true beauty of the design – that and its exquisite colourway and capacious interior, of course.

The Cassette cross-body bag may be an archival design for Bottega Veneta, but it’s been reimagined from a 21st-century perspective to create this padded style. Cut from smooth lambskin, it’s offset by the oversized, pillow-like weaves that form its structure. Sealed by a magnetic clasp, it’s carried by an adjustable cross-body strap and finished with discreet engraved branding on the inside.

Bottega Veneta's iconic Teen Jodie hobo bag is defined by its knotted top handle and woven suede leather construction, and this iteration is no exception. Boasting a subdued palette, this number will blend effortlessly into your everyday sets while standing the test of time.

For Matthieu Blazy’s first autumn/winter 2022 show, Bottega Veneta casts its net into the pool of top-handle bags. The result? The Sardine, a meticulous feat of Italian craftsmanship that spotlights the label’s penchant for irregular shapes in its sculptural gold-tone handle. Look closely at the statement hardware and you’ll see slight nuances and engravings – each a unique marking that points to the artisans that crafted it.
