BOTTEGA VENETA

In London the first “personalization”.

The artisans’ luxury. In the laboratory where each and every bag is hand made.

Also Sandra Bullock had to give the laser-cut dress back, the one in orchid colour made with an impalpable fabric, with which she won the Golden Globe last January: at Bottega Veneta it works like that, no gifts, not even to celebrities. No logo, when everyone puts its brand everywhere.

No party or society evenings: the fashion designer, Tomas Maier, does not like the combination of food and fashion.

“Doctor Not” is the name he has been given by the American Edition of Vogue.

Now Maier has allowed this change: every client will have the possibility to have a custom made intertwined bag by choosing: colour, hides and size.

The Cabat, the icon bag costs 7 thousand euro and every year it is produced in 500 numbered pieces. It takes 2 artisans working for 2 days to make it rigorously by hand.

Here everything is handmade, a kind of celebration of the creativity and of the artisan ability, impossible to be found anywhere else.

Bottega Veneta was born in 1966, but only with the maison Maier it entered the world of luxury.

The firm has also started a school offering a three-year course for 14 students, to mould at home artisans to be assigned the realization of its bags.

An other challenge is represented by the furniture, at the Furniture Fair in Milan they will present small pieces, wood jugs and sets of glasses.
