The Knot clutch is one of Bottega Veneta’s most beloved purse designs, but we’ve never seen these distinctive accessories looking quite like this.
This time we see the clutch made not from the brand’s iconic woven intrecciato leather, but from oxidized silver. This metal body is softened with rows and rows of tiny scarab beetles. The yellow and green insects walk this way and that, adding a whimsical note to the elegant silver surface. Bottega Veneta’s classic metal knot forms the purse’s clasp to complete the dazzling, and somewhat daring, look.
As with any high fashion item, this isn’t a purse for everybody. The beetles seem a little silly to me, but I’m sure fans of Judith Leiber’s animal shaped minaudieres would appreciate their novelty.
But then there’s that bottom line, a whopping $8000. That’s a whole chunk of change, particularly for a bag that’s so small and strap free. And that’s to say nothing of those polarizing beetles. Personally I’d rather save cash and snap up one of Bottega Veneta’s more conventional knot clutches rather than spending a small fortune on this purse.
