The Evolution of Luxury:
Bottega Veneta Transformed
Under the auspices of Kering, Bottega Veneta has witnessed a sophisticated transformation helmed by Daniel Lee, which now gracefully continues under the creative stewardship of Matthieu Blazy. The brand’s trajectory is becoming ever clearer, manifesting the group’s ambition to mold Bottega Veneta into the ‘Italian Hermès’. With each garment and accessory, Blazy differentiates his style, honoring the iconic Intrecciato weaving that signifies the brand’s essence.
The New Vanguard:
Matthieu Blazy’s Visionary Craft
“Bottega Veneta has always sketched the essence of both fashionable and functional, grounded in exquisite leathery craftsmanship, ever-evolving roots, and defining new-age classics—a silent strength that is the brand’s forte.”
At the 2022 Milan Fashion Week for the Autumn/Winter collection, Matthieu Blazy embraced minimalism—a white tank teamed with denim. Culminating in a sartorial reset symbolizing pure simplicity, the inaugural outfit featured denim prints on suede leather, a testament to subdued luxury.
Heritage Innovation:
Certificate of Craft: A Promise of Perfection
In a bid to assure supreme quality and commitment to craftsmanship, Bottega Veneta is proud to announce a unique offering: the Certificate of Craft. This service, reflective of Bottega Veneta’s artisanal superiority and quality assurance, promises a lifetime of refurbishing and repair for its classic bag designs.
Sustaining Classics:
The Call for Timeless Pieces
With the introduction of the Certificate of Craft, Bottega Veneta conjures the spirit of its enduring classics. As explained by CEO Leo Rongone, the initiative aims to preserve the integrity of their goods, ensuring longevity and reducing the need for replacements among consumers.
The Vanguard of Elegance:
Rumple Bag: A New Tradition in Weaving
In a collage of tradition and modernity, Bottega Veneta’s latest addition—the Rumple bag, comes in assorted hues and embodies the fusion of precise craftsmanship and understated luxury. Crafted from delicately woven leather, each bag promises a unique textural narrative, echoing a casual luxury that is versatile in wear.
A Closer Look:
The Cabat: Woven Legacy
The Cabat, debuted in 2001, draws inspiration from 1960s French Riviera chic, conjuring images of confident, carefree women strolling on sandy shores, its luxury communicated in silence. Expertly selecting the finest lambskin and hand-weaving it around a wooden frame, the Cabat emerges seamless and structural—a timeless piece that exudes warmth and sophistication.
Summer Echoes:
Mini Cabat Series: The Woven Colors of Summer
Bottega Veneta also introduces Mini Cabat, harnessing the classic weave into a smaller silhouette, adorned with the season’s delightful hues like pistachio green and wisteria—a fresh addition to the summer palette.
