The Curation Note

The Bottega Veneta Andiamo (‘let’s go’) Medium is Matthieu Blazy’s masterwork for the house — a bag that functions perfectly as a professional tote while broadcasting unmistakable craft authority to those in the know. The Intrecciato weave, developed by Bottega in the 1960s to work around Italian laws preventing leather goods brands from stamping logos on soft leather, became the house’s signature: the craftsmanship IS the logo. In dark green (Parakeet) with gold knot hardware, it is particularly distinctive. Wait times of 3-6 months at boutiques are standard.
