BOTTEGA VENETA

Bottega Veneta was established in 1966 in Vicenza (located in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy), by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. The province had many artisans of leathercrafts, and they opened the workshop staying true to craftsmanship and traditional techniques. They don’t have a brand logo due to the founder’s belief that their initials are strong enough to represent for the brand. The company developed a distinctive leather weave design, called “Intrecciato”, widely associated with the brand. Since 2001 they have joined Gucci Group (now known as Kering), assigning Tomas Maier as creative director, who has experience working in brands such as Hermès. The brand established its status as the producers of luxury leather goods, as well as apparel and accessories. Since 2018, Daniel Lee, who has experience working in Celine, Balenciaga and Maison Margiela has been assigned creative director, drawing attention for his distinctive ideas.
