Founded in 1966 by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro in Vicenza, Italy, Bottega Veneta is defined by its exquisite woven-leather craftsmanship and understated luxury. The house’s signature Intrecciato weaving technique—which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025—remains a global symbol of artistry, achieved without any visible logos. Under the long tenure of Tomas Maier, the brand solidified its reputation for timeless sophistication. Today, under the creative direction of Louise Trotter, the house has entered a new chapter of 'measured liberation.' Trotter blends traditional craftsmanship with sculptural silhouettes and sensory luxury, using 'The Living Weave' and brutalist tailoring to reinforce the brand's commitment to discreet elegance and modern authority.
