Founded in Vicenza in 1966, Bottega Veneta established its reputation through exceptional Italian leatherwork and a philosophy of discreet luxury. The house’s signature intrecciato weave emerged in the 1970s, while its famously logo-free approach was later encapsulated by the slogan, “When your own initials are enough.” Under Tomas Maier, creative director from 2001 to 2018, Bottega became synonymous with a particularly refined strain of understated luxury. Today, the house is led by Louise Trotter, who succeeded Matthieu Blazy in 2025.
