-SPECIAL- "BOTTEGA VENETA" 80's-00's Belted leather coat

"BOTTEGA VENETA"

80s-00s belted long leather trench coat

Drawing on the excellence of Italian craftsmanship and a quiet kind of luxury, this is a beautiful piece from BOTTEGA VENETA.

Transforming glossy black real leather into a long-length trench coat, this piece combines a refined presence with the substantial, supple character unique to the material.

The outer fabric lavishly features real leather with a finely textured feel and a soft sheen. Depending on the angle of the light, it reveals a depth of character. Meanwhile, the generously designed collar, the neatly finished front, and the vertical paneling that runs along the body sharply define the overall silhouette—resulting in a polished balance that, while unmistakably a leather coat, is never overly rugged.

The silhouette is based on a straight cut, gently flaring toward the hem. Cinching the waist with the included matching belt adds definition to the outline, allowing you to enjoy a versatile range—from a composed look with the belt left to fall elegantly, to a classic style that beautifully highlights the shape of the body.

At the cuffs, there are buttons with a strap and the BOTTEGA VENETA embossing—subtly conveying the brand’s refined character in every detail. Inside, a smooth lining in cupro 55% and viscose rayon 45% ensures excellent sleeve feel even with the long length, achieving both a structured appearance and comfortable wear.

In addition to an older-style woven name tag in brown and the importer notation by Aoi Co., Ltd., the garment also bears the address for Minatojima Nakamachi, Chuo-ku, Kobe City—where the company relocated in 1987. Because it is likely a specification that circulated prior to the establishment of the Japanese corporation around 2001, it can be appreciated as a piece from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, making it a highly valuable item with a distinct background unlike current offerings.

Marked size 42, the elegant length that skims comparatively neatly over the shoulders and flows down to below the knee lends a poised, dignified presence to your ensemble. It is recommended not only for those seeking a high-quality leather outerwear that is not influenced by trends, but also for anyone who wishes to incorporate the understated charm of vintage pieces naturally into everyday life.

Pair it with a simple high-gauge knit and wide slacks for a minimalist look in which the leather’s sheen truly stands out. Alternatively, tighten the belt over a dress or long skirt for an elegant outfit that makes the most of its supple curves and composed silhouette.

Enjoy this rare piece in which BOTTEGA VENETA’s aesthetic sensibility, the allure of Italian-made leather, and an older distribution history come together in one.
