Bottega Veneta, man, they’ve been doing this quiet luxury thing for ages. Like, *ages*. It’s all about the intrecciato – that woven leather thing they’re famous for. It’s seriously cool, like a super-chic basket weave. And the Veneta bag? Ugh, iconic. They make it using the intrecciato technique, obviously. It’s all about craftsmanship, which, let’s be honest, is a breath of fresh air compared to some of these brands just slapping logos on everything.
And speaking of logos, Bottega Veneta’s logo? It’s subtle. Like, *really* subtle. Embossed, not printed. You gotta *look* for it. It’s like they’re saying, “If you know, you know.” Which, personally, I love. It’s so much classier than flashing a logo the size of your head.
I remember when Lee first brought out that no-logo bag for Bottega Veneta back in 2019, it was a total game-changer. Everyone was like, “Wait, *no* logo? Is that even allowed?!” But it worked! It was minimalist, sleek, and made of calfskin leather. Just pure quality, you know? It really shows how they focus on the quality and design of the bag itself, rather than just slapping a logo on it to sell.
Now, gotta watch out for fakes, obviously. Especially with how popular these bags are. One of the tips I saw was to check the logo—make sure it’s embossed, not printed. But honestly, the best way to tell a real Bottega Veneta from a fake is the quality of the leather and the intrecciato weave. It’s hard to replicate that level of detail, y’know?
And their bags aren’t just the Veneta, either. Check out their knot clutch, for instance. Super elegant, inspired by something from the 70s. It’s got this knot-shaped closure thing going on. And yep, some versions have the intrecciato weave, which is, you know, their signature.
