Handbags

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

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.

Bottega Veneta has been experimenting with different weaving techniques since the late '60s. This clutch is crafted from smooth leather using a complex version of the label's signature intrecciato weave. It has enough space inside for the essentials and fastens with a gold-tone clasp shaped like a knot.

Softly structured with a compact silhouette, the Cassette cross-body bag is exemplary of the sculptural direction in which Daniel Lee has steered Bottega Veneta. It focuses on a maxi iteration of the Intrecciato weave which gives this Italian-crafted accessory a signature look and feel. Form doesn’t compromise function though; note the spacious interior with a practical zipped pocket to keep your keys and cards nearby.

Daniel Lee takes Bottega Veneta's signature intrecciato weave and reworks it again - this time using padded strips of leather to create a puffy silhouette. This 'Cassette' shoulder bag unlocks to reveal a spacious interior with a zipped pocket. Match any jewelry to the chunky gold chain strap, which happens to be another new addition for Pre-Fall '20.

Named for actress Jodie Foster – who was pictured shielding herself from the paparazzi using her Bottega Veneta handbag – the Mini Jodie style is a rather dreamy amalgam of new and old house tropes. Casual elements, such as the slouchy sack-like shape and knotted finish, show the influence of Creative Director Daniel Lee. At the same time, the brand's double-faced intrecciato weave keeps the bag firmly grounded in the brand's grand Venetian tradition.
