-SPECIAL- “BOTTEGA VENETA” 80’s-90’s Intrecciato suede leather shirt

Since its founding in 1966, BOTTEGA VENETA has pursued quiet luxury rooted in superb leather craftsmanship, avoiding dependence on logos, and we are pleased to present a superb example of craftsmanship that embodies the brand's essence.

This piece luxuriously uses rich dark brown suede leather and elevates the brand's iconic intrecciato philosophy into apparel.

Unlike conventional leather shirts, this piece features leather panels arranged diagonally from the front across the body, layered in multiple tiers to give leather garments rich dimensionality; the way light falls on them causes shadows to beautifully emerge, creating a quiet presence when worn.

The suede leather features a supple texture; the brushed surface is soft and catches light, creating depth and allure not found in black, and the finish is designed to allow you to enjoy the patina that develops as it ages.

Additionally, the gold-toned ring-shaped snaps placed on the front and cuffs serve as a tasteful accent, adding refined glamour to the craft-heavy leatherwork while maintaining a delicate balance that avoids over-decorating, reflecting BOTTEGA VENETA's aesthetic.

What is particularly notable is that the brand's signature intrecciato is not treated merely as a motif for bags or small accessories, but embedded in the entire structure of the garment, applying the brand's origin of weaving leather to prêt-à-porter; this is a highly rare piece.

With respect to the era, based on the tag specifications you provided, the care label arrangement without a modern logo woven into grosgrain and lacking contemporary management codes, it is considered vintage from the 1980s to the 1990s, and the distinctive artisanal leatherwear production background of that era adds substantial value.

Luxurious yet not overly assertive, this piece will be especially appealing to those who value apparel whose worth lies in the materials and construction itself; it remains sufficiently fresh in contemporary fashion while offering a timeless beauty that differs from trends.

Styling: Pair with drapey trousers and neatly tailored slacks to accentuate the leather's rich expression, and layer with a long coat to achieve a more refined impression. Additionally, pairing a simple shirt or a lightweight knit as an inner layer creates a contrast between the materials, naturally expressing BOTTEGA VENETA's quiet luxury.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
