Bottega Veneta
Some houses announce themselves with a logo. Bottega Veneta does it with a weave. Strips of supple leather, plaited by hand into intrecciato, have made the Vicenza house instantly recognisable without a single initial on the outside, and that discretion is exactly why it belongs in our edit.
Each Bottega Veneta piece is studied in our studio before it joins the shop. Our specialists check the evenness of the weave and the tension of every strip, the softness and quality of the leather, the edges and stitching, and the interior markings, and confirm that each matches the style and season. Listings describe any wear to corners, strips or hardware and include detailed photographs.
In the shop now: the Cassette, padded, in black. The Cassette enlarges the classic weave into broad, cushioned strips, giving a bag that is graphic, soft to the touch and surprisingly light. It is worn on the shoulder or across the body.

A note on padded leather
Padded intrecciato keeps its plump shape when it is stored without weight on top of it. Keep it in its dust bag on a shelf rather than in a crowded drawer.
Why we favour Bottega Veneta
Its pieces age gracefully, the leather softening while the weave holds its order. A Bottega bag is often the one that is reached for most, precisely because it never shouts.
Encore Luxe is an independent retailer of authenticated pre-loved luxury and is not affiliated with Bottega Veneta.
