We. Just. Can’t. Get. Enough. Repeat after me please? We just can’t get enough of you.. Bottega Veneta!
The square toe. The oversized intrecciato. These are the most synonymous words right now for luxury brand Bottega Veneta and between Daniel Lee’s last collection and this new one, there’s no denying that his accessories continue to make it in the hottest list of IT items. As if the gush over the fashion house isn’t enough, they recently dropped their new men’s and women’s collection for pre-fall 2020 in stores and here’s a rundown of every piece worth looking out for.
The Chained Cassette
This bag needs no further introduction as this masterfully created item is present in almost every instagram queen’s page. You will easily recognize the padded, supple Napa leather in mouthwatering colors but its successor now comes in a chunky chain strap, designed to be carried by hand or easily slung over the shoulders. Meanwhile, the maxi version comes in tactile Merinos Auckland sherling – a tote deserving enough for the chilly autumn breeze.
The Fringe Pouch
Not for the faint of heart, this pouch speaks drama and movement louder than spoken word poetry. A new addition to the league of A-lister leather accessories from the brand, this iconic bag is bumped up with a flat square silhouette and cascading leather fringe. The distinctive upgrade is done in ultra-sleek Napa leather and can be folded over itself or worn over the shoulder with an adjustable thin strap.
The Bold Clogs
An evolution of the BV Bloc, new codes of femininity play with exaggerated proportions and contrasting surfaces. Presented in Stretch Nappa, Nappa Crochet, Towelling and Shiny Light Nappa, the BV Bold revels in the tension between artisanal techniques and sleek contemporary aesthetic. Built for undeniable comfort with a glove-like feel, a new 105mm chunky stiletto heel is balanced with a 25mm hidden platform.
The BV Boots
Carrying that speed racer meets chic vibe, the BV boots stand out with its sole in contrasting colors of hunter green, cherry red and lucite gray.. Available in various heights, the garterized side panels allow easy wearability and comfort. Predominantly available in black and rich chocolate brown, the BV boots also come in cream and off-white with the wavy leather lining accent.
The Padded Bag
Essential and sophisticated, the iconic Intreccio is evolved in padded Light Paper Nylon. Fitted with a practical detachable flat pocket, adjustable handles and shoulder straps provide comfort and functionality. Further evolving the Cassette family, technical craft meets fresh modernity with invisible seams and fluid fabric.
The Stilt Footwear
Classic silhouettes are subverted for Pre Fall 2020. Elevating sophistication into bold new realms, the Stilt shoes is made from rich Calf leather. Tanned with aniline to preserve its natural look and feel while enhancing the color, the leather is hand-brushed with wax for a subtle glaze and scratch-proof effect.
