Bottega Veneta is a manufacturer of luxury leather goods, most famous for its Intrecciato line of woven leather. The company is based in Vicenza, in the Veneto region of northeast Italy. A family firm founded in 1966, Bottega Veneta was bought by Gucci in 2001.

Bottega is best known for its hand-woven leather goods - handbags, belts, and shoes. They are all handcrafted in Italy and retail for €1000 or more. Current Bottega handbags typically boast clean lines, the softest Intreciatto woven leathers, and a classic palette. Major trends are nodded to (such as patent leather and studs in autumn 2007), but always in a toned-down, easy-to-wear way. They are generally only labelled inside, although under Deacon, the metalwork had small, subtle logos).  Bottega Veneta’s approach is best summed up by a company slogan that loosely translates as 'When your own initials are enough'.

Bottega Veneta certainly knows a thing or two about sustainable design—its leather goods last forever! This spring, the Italian luxury house has built an installation at NYC’s Bergdorf Goodman. “The World of Bottega Veneta,” as it’s being dubbed, includes a lifetime’s worth of club chairs, fine jewelry, fashion, and an exclusive, limitededition deerskin Fenice bag.
