–SPECIAL– "BOTTEGA VENETA" 90’s-00’s intrecciato trapezoid handle bag

Rather than showcasing craftsmanship front and center, BOTTEGA VENETA quietly presents a finished product that seamlessly blends into daily life, and here is a superb piece imbued with the brand’s philosophy in its purest form.

This piece embodies stealth luxury, speaking of class solely through material and structure without relying on logos.

First, what catches the eye is the evenly crafted intrecciato weave, meticulously assembled from lamb nappa cut into strips, creating a shadow that only appears when hit by light, which is very elegant.

Moreover, the knitting has a slight thickness and robustness different from the current delicate style, maintaining softness while resisting shape distortion, allowing you to enjoy a deepening luster the more you use it.

The form is a neat trapezoid with a constructional balance that naturally draws the eye to the center, and it’s attractive that it subtly emphasizes high-quality materials without overstatement, creating an elegant presence that also refines the user’s gestures.

Additionally, the rounded handle comfortably fits in the hand, and the beautiful rise at the top design allows it to smoothly adapt to formal occasions like ceremonies as well as everyday work scenes.

Looking inside, a jacquard lining woven with the brand logo is used, and you can see that even the atmosphere when opening it is luxuriously refined.

Furthermore, the well-placed zipper pocket and metal plate ensure practicality matches the quiet appearance, and the more you use it, the better it gets.

The bottom features a smooth leather panel and metal bottom studs, which help stabilize when placed down, and it’s also nice that it can be handled while reducing stress on the woven parts.

The reason for estimating the era as late 1990s to around 2001 is also clear; the multicolor woven name tag inside is a feature unique to Bottega of that time, and since it shifted to a more minimal black-on-white tag after Thomas Mayer’s appointment in 2001, the presence of this tag physically confirms that the item predates 2001.

Additionally, the authenticity proof tag style, the sharply edged rectangular gold plate, and the jacquard lining choice are all consistent with contemporary specifications, enhancing the credibility of its era.

I recommend this bag for those who want to meet their standards through the quality of materials and careful craftsmanship rather than obvious decorations, and who prefer a quietly refined style based on the quality of their belongings rather than titles or trends.

When incorporating into daily life, it’s not only for days when you want to look proper, but also because this neatness works even on casual days, making it a piece that naturally increases its presence over time.

In terms of styling, it naturally blends into a neat appearance by pairing a tailored jacket with slacks, or creates a vertical line with a long coat and leather shoes, and by coordinating with minimalist accessories centered around shirts and high-quality knits, it can achieve a quiet impact and sophistication regardless of gender.

Definitely take this opportunity.
