Bottega Veneta
Name
Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta is an Italian luxury fashion house based in Milan, specializing in clothing, handbags, shoes, accessories, jewelry, and perfumes. The company was founded in 1966 by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro in Vicenza, and its distinctive trademark is the Intrecciato leather weaving technique. The philosophy “When your own initials are enough” emphasized the craftsmanship that attracted customers seeking discreet luxury.
In 2001, Bottega Veneta was acquired by the Kering group, enabling global expansion. Under creative directors like Tomas Maier and later Matthieu Blazy, the brand revitalized its designs and introduced iconic products ranging from apparel to unique handbags. Today, Bottega Veneta blends modernity with the tradition of Italian craftsmanship, supporting art and culture worldwide, notably through the “Bottega for Bottegas” initiative.
