“BOTTEGA VENETA” 10’s Iridescent calfskin intrecciato trim crossbody bag

Since it was founded in 1966 in Vicenza, Italy, BOTTEGA VENETA has built a quiet kind of luxury that relies not on its logo, but on exceptional leather craftsmanship such as intrecciato. We present a unique piece whose design brings depth of color and masterful workmanship into harmonious interplay.

Anchored in black, this piece uses iridescent calf leather to layer intrecciato edging along a rounded, horizontal form—an understated presence that nevertheless reveals a distinct character.

The exterior is crafted from supple leather with gentle wrinkles. Rather than presenting a uniformly glossy finish, shades of black and purple emerge in accordance with the contours of the surfaces, allowing the material itself to create a richly expressive character without the need for added ornamentation.

Rather than weaving the entire body, intrecciato is placed across the flap and the outline of the base, intersecting narrow strips of leather. Incorporating the Maison’s signature technique as lines that organize the structure is a value unique to this bag.

The generously sized flap closes neatly with a magnetic clasp. Inside, there is a zipper-style opening, so it maintains a soft look from the outside while providing a sense of reassurance for storage. In addition, the slim shoulder strap allows length adjustment, and dark-toned hardware gently sharpens the iridescent leather’s luster.

The interior is lined with understated suede and features a practical layout with a zip pocket, resulting in a composition that feels soft and quiet within—contrasting with the intricate colors outside.

The same model has been confirmed as the 2010 edition with serial number 252008. It is also appealing for reflecting the period’s sensibility of Thomas Meyer—one that does not exaggerate craftsmanship, but instead channels it into the materials and functionality.

This bag is especially recommended for those who wish to add individuality to an ensemble through the leather’s texture, color, and the beauty of its contours, rather than letting a logo take center stage. While it is a shoulder bag you can use every day, it also offers a discreet, jewelry-like luster—making it a truly exceptional piece.

In styling, wear it crossbody with a crisp shirt and wide slacks, or pair it with a tailored jacket or long coat to add a soft contrast to the bag’s rounded silhouette and delicate sheen. It also harmonizes easily with simple dresses and set-ups, allowing you to incorporate an elegant, modern mode aesthetic regardless of gender.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
