Some bags make more of a whisper than a shout – but a whisper can be just as effective, and sometimes even more so. Just look to Bottega Veneta for a prime example of a softly beguiling creation. Sure, the design may not be earth-shattering or revolutionary; it is just a shopper tote, after all.
I don’t say this about too many designers, but I love it when Bottega Veneta gets complicated. Well, maybe complicated isn’t quite the right word. Tomas Maier is too smart for that; with him and his creations, it comes down to complexity. The deceptively complex effects of Bottega’s bags are thanks, in part, to the fact that he really knows how to show restraint.
Count on Bottega Veneta to constantly devise different and exciting ways to inject energy into their quintessential trademarks. This time, a classic Bottega style is renewed with the application of taupe-gray ayers in their signature intrecciato.
A Bottega Veneta bag like this isn’t one I have to sell you on or convince you of why it’s a wise investment. When it comes to a bag like this, you already know it will be a purchase that lasts forever, but it’s also one for the set who demands something slightly different.
Carven’s quirky prints always have me coming back for more, and the latest fanciful piece comes with a serving of oversized kiwis. The magic of the French house is that it can take a look like this that seems as if it would be perfect for tots, and give it a surprising taste of understated sophistication.
