BEST BITS: The Bottega Veneta pieces we need this season
Since its founding, accessories have been the cornerstone on which Bottega Veneta’s legacy has been built. The artisanal methods of the Italian firm have elevated all its products to a mythical status, where aesthetics is on par with functionality.
The firm led by Daniel Lee has preserved this design philosophy, promoting the creation of pieces in which, behind an apparent simplicity, a lot of experimenting with color and materials is done, until achieving a total balance between beauty and comfort.
In the Spring 2020 collection, leather, wood, metal and other materials become elements that show their best when shown in their purest form. Without limitations and structure, the contrasts of textures and colors give an injection of vitality and joy to any style.
These are the most sophisticated Bottega Veneta pieces for the season.
1. The Body Pouch
A soft, padded shape, like the texture of a cloud. In The Body Pouch model, Daniel Lee and his creative team seek to instantly delight the senses, but without forgetting the functionality. Spacious and lightweight, this is one of our all-time favorite Bottega Veneta pieces that defy convention in accessory design.
2. Necklace
The pieces of men’s jewelry are characterized by simple and discreet lines, but this model rises expectations through embossed sterling silver links, which give a three-dimensional effect that will surely catch eyes and will give an extra accent to a timeless piece.
3. Slipper
Soft leather, high instep, an ultra-thin sole with rubber spheres and a heel with a discreet and comfortable height. The perfect slipper to stay safe at home is also a design that moves away from the stereotypes of men’s footwear, exploring new silhouettes and finishes along with artisan motifs like the classic intrecciato.
4. Sport glasses
It is possible to see life with pink glasses … or purple, or yellow, or red. Daniel Lee is inspired to create a whole chromatic universe for this spring. The equally novel design takes reference in the arched shape of the eyebrows to give an organic accent to the frame.
