Bottega Veneta Purses and Bags
Bottega Veneta purses are truly timeless pieces of art, fashioned from the finest leathers and precious metals. The Italian luxury leather house Bottega Veneta’s timeless style has earned the company a loyal following with its classic, well crafted clothing and footwear and especially for their signature intrecciato woven leather Bottega Veneta purses.
Bottega Veneta handbags are a favorite of celebrities Jennifer Aniston, Christina Ricci and Sandra Oh. They love the classic, elegant styles of Bottega Veneta’s luxury clothing line. The popularity of Bottega Veneta purses has increased dramatically, after waning in the nineties. German designer Tomas Maier took the helm as head designer in 2001 and brought a breath of fresh air to Bottega Veneta. Maier revamped the traditional woven leather signature look of Bottega Veneta purses into a more contemporary design.

Bottega Veneta bags came into being in the mid sixties. Bottega Veneta was among a handful of small leather goods makers that set the standard for superb Italian craftsmanship. By the seventies, Bottega Veneta intricately woven rustic appearing handbag designs were unique enough that the slogan used when advertising Bottega Veneta purses was, “When your own initials are enough.”
Today Bottega Veneta’s purses, shoes, and clothing line are one of Europe’s top selling luxury brands, with annual sales of more than $500 million worldwide. Bottega Veneta makes classy handbags as logos are not emblazoned on them like many designer purses. Their quality and design speak for themselves.
A Veneta classic design, “the Knot” recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with special edition Bottega Veneta Knot purses such as the PePe Enameled handbag made of antiqued sterling silver. This particular Bottega Veneta bag is smaller than the very popular large Cabat purse which has an inside pouch with a numbered plaque. The Cabat was one of Tomas Maier’s earliest designs of Bottega Veneta purses and evolves subtly each season in a new style.
Bottega Veneta handbags are ranked in the first tier of luxury brands, ranking with Hermès and Vera Wang among the top three in consumer recognition and approval according to a survey done by the Luxury Institute in 2007. They appeal to the affluent who know what they want and do not mind paying for it if it contains substance and style. Bottega Veneta purses are made to withstand a lifetime and never look outdated and out of style.
