Bottega Veneta's designs can be spotted easily by the use of Intrecciato, a woven technique that's hard to achieve, and even tougher to imitate. Requiring the patience of skilled leather-workers, it marks any pair of shoes out as distinguished, and that's no different on this pair of espadrilles. Named
Gala, the use of buttery suede and contrast leather inside means that this pair is too refined to save for the beach.
