The Label
Bottega Veneta was launched as a family business of luxury leather accessories in Venice back in 1966, and today designs both a mens and womens ready-to-wear line.

The Look
At $3,000 a pop for a bag, expect to see classic clean lines, the softest leathers, and a classic palette rather than trend-driven designs. Bottega is most known for its hand-woven leather bags, belts, and shoes. Maier’s ready-to-wear women’s line posses the same timeless, ultra-luxurious look.

The Designer
German-born Tomas Maier took the helm in 2001 and revived the flagging brand by injecting a more modern feel and reworking the traditional woven leather signature.

Profile
With its smoked mirrors, wrought-iron displays, and undulating staircase, the Bottega Veneta store is a fitting tribute to the sensuality of leather. Enter via the doormanned Fifth Avenue entrance or directly from the graceful calm of the St. Regis Hotel lobby into this two-floor boutique, aurally appointed with Euro hip-hop beats and capped by a gorgeous greenhouse ceiling. The Italian leather maker has long distinguished itself with signature woven leather (intrecciato) handbags, and plenty are on hand here, in a variety of colors. Also look for the characteristic texture on designer Tomas Maiers wallets, placemats, pillows, and trivets. No less inspired are the well-edited men and womens effortless, understated ready-to-wear collections, featuring silk cocktail jackets and swingy shift dresses. And what would a leather retailer be without shoes? Bottega carries an ample supply of womens strappy slingbacks and demure cut-out pumps, as well as mens Grecian-style sandals.

"Bottega Veneta is truly a icon of luxury and elegance with that typically fine, conservative Italian quality that you would pay anything for the privilege of owning. The leather goods are some of the best made I have ever seen and the homeware collection combines subtlety with beauty and incredible class! This was my first visit to the NY store and without any doubt, the service was as super-efficient and the selection as plentiful as it is at the stores in Europe. When you see how finely made the goods are here, you know its well worth the expense!" Internet Shopper

"If you are in the market for flashy and ostentatious apparel and accessories, go elsewhere. If you prefer master craftsmanship, supreme materials, and timeless design, then Bottega Veneta is for you. The clothes are works of art, well above any fads or trends--true investment pieces. Furthermore, the salespeople are very eager to help you out with sizes, fits, finishes, colors, etc. Of course, this quality will come at a price (note: $90,000 alligator totebag), but there are end-of-season sales. Furthermore, all the season's pieces can be seen on their website catalog (including the price), so you won't suffer from any sticker shock, just product awe. If youre going to treat yourself, treat yourself to Bottega Veneta." Internet Shopper
