Bottega Veneta accessories are always an expensive proposition, but few put the kind of hole in your pocket that the label’s new leather travel bag.
This posh suitcase, known as the Nero, is made from the world’s elite alligator skin. Burnished metal hardware complements the exotic black skin, while reinforced corners ensure it’ll survive in transit. I wouldn’t trust it with careless baggage handlers, but I wouldn’t hesitate to put it in the trunk of your car, or inside your private jet. The padded interior lining looks to keep your precious cargo safe, while the elasticized pocket and removable garment bag help to make packing and unpacking easier.
You might have thought I was joking with the crack about the private jet, but only the world’s high rollers would ever contemplate owning such a luxurious suitcase. If you fit the bill, be prepared to fork over 53, 000 big ones. Ouch!
