. History:
Bottega Veneta was established in 1966 by Vittorio and Laura Moltedo in Vincenza.The name “Bottega Veneta” means “Venetian shop” and the company was begun to produce artisanal leather goods. The atyle was discreet and tendentially highend.
1980s: short promotional film from Andy Warhol, a great fan.
By the end of the 1990s, the brand moved towards a flashier, logodriven aesthetic with a departure from the original stylistic identity. The brand had abandoned its understated ethos and ventured into more trenddriven fashion territory.
In 2001, Gucci Group acquired a controlling stake in the label and appointed Tomas Maier, a German designe (resumes include Sonia Rykiel and Hermes), as a creative director. He brought the brand back to a more understated and classical look. Lines are simple and clean, with ladylike silhouettes and GrecoRoman inspired draping and folding predominating. The color palette use largely lighttone neutrals and faded colors to build understated elegance look.
Eyewear wear launched in 2003 followed by fine jewellery and home furnishings in 2006.
Bottega Veneta presented its first women’s readytowear runway show in February 2005 and its first men’s runway show in June 2006.
In 2006, Bottega Veneta opened an artisan school in Italy to train a new generation of craftsmen in the precise art of hand making the products.Operated in conjunction with “La Scuola d’Arte e Mestieri di Vicenza” founded in 1858, the threeyear course will be free for all students.
