Thread: Bottega Veneta Leaf-Print Canvas Tote

The Italian name Bottega Veneta is known for their luxurious interwoven leather goods, which are usually constructed by hand. Their designs are not only soft in touch, but also classic. When I think of the name Bottega Veneta, a smooth looking woven leather handbag usually comes to mind. That’s why when some Veneta handbags are made with a material other than leather; they seem to stand out from all the rest. I ran into the perfect example of this idea today as I spotted the Leaf-Print Canvas Tote among the group of leather bags.

There is always something interesting about a handbag. If you haven’t already noticed, the prints found all throughout the totes body, are of leaves. You must admit it’s quite a nice print for the spring/summer seasons. I certainly like it. As I had already mentioned, another feature that really stands out are those woven leather handles Veneta specializes in. It is also the only leather found among this handbag. It’s double braided leather shoulder straps are truly a Veneta classic, which I truly adore!

How do you bagista’s feel about the Leaf-Print Canvas Tote? Is it a nice and fresh Bottega idea? Or do you feel this bag to be quite boring?

I prefer the classic BV woven pattern over this design.. which looks more like a finger print than a "leaf print". imho
