I’m not really a fan of woven bags. They often look, to me, like baskets, and while I am a fan of baskets, I’m not sure I really want to carry one around. This chic woven leather Veneta Intrecciato bag by Bottega Veneta has all the style and elegance that the label is known for.
The black leather of this back is soft and smooth, but durable enough that I’m not worried about it falling apart. The woven design is intricate and fascinating, a real feat of craftsmanship, and it looks nothing like the crafty woven bags I’m used to.
The shape of this Veneta bag is pretty extraordinary. The malleability of the woven leather material has been molded into a sculptural shoulder bag design. It’s also such a versatile shape and style that it could easily work for day or evening, and the size is a nice, ladylike, easy-to-handle medium.
I really want to praise Bottega for not interfering with the clean design of the Veneta. The only embellishment it really needs is its fabulous material, and that’s all that it’s got. Adding anything else would have made it look fussy.
At $1,995, the Veneta is definitely in the investment bag category. But as far as investment bags go, it’s a pretty safe bet. Even worn in, it will look fabulous, and its timeless chic will stay fashionable for generations.
