Bottega is well known for its hand woven leather bags, belts, and shoes. They are handcrafted in Italy and retail for $1500 or more. Current Bottega handbags typically have clean lines, very soft Intreciatto woven leathers, and a classic palette. Major trends are attributed patent leather and studs in autumn 2007, but always in a toned down, easy to wear way. They are generally only labelled on the inside of the bag, although under Deacon, the metalwork had small logos. Bottega Veneta’s approach is summed up by a slogan that translates to "When your own initials are enough"
Maier's aesthetic for Bottega Veneta "ready to wear" is more understated and classical than Deacon's "high octane, ultra sexy" look. Lines are simple yet clean, with ladylike silhouettes and (particularly for Spring/Summer collections) Greco Roman inspired draping and folding predominating. The color palette consists largely of light toned neutrals and pastels for recent Spring and Summer collections, and black, neutrals and faded colors, such as red and yellow for Autumn/Winter 2007-08 - source wikipedia
