Steeped in the traditions of Italian master craftsmen, Bottega Veneta has nurtured a new standard of luxury since its foundation in 1966 in the Veneto region. Under the creative direction of Tomas Maier, it has emerged with a unique Italian art-de-vivre philosophy defined by 4 unchanging principles: outstanding craftsmanship, timeless yet innovative design, contemporary functionality and the highest-quality materials. The historical motto, “When your own initials are enough,” conveys a concept of individuality and confidence that now applies to a full range of collections for women and men: bags and small leather goods, but also ready-to-wear, shoes, jewelry, furniture, fragrances, eyewear and accessories.
