History

Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro founded Bottega Veneta in 1966 in Vicenza, Italy. The brand gained prominence for its artisanal leatherwork, specifically the development of the signature intrecciato weave. Historically, it maintained a reputation for 'stealth wealth' through its 'When your own initials are enough' slogan. In the twenty-first century, creative directors like Tomas Maier and Daniel Lee revitalized the house, solidifying its influence on contemporary silhouettes and high-end accessory design within the global fashion industry.
