BOTTEGA VENETA

Gemelli leather shoulder bag

Did you know Bottega Veneta’s intrecciato weave was formed through a twist of fate? To fit the Italian label's ultra-fine leather under the sewing machines of its 1960s workshop, the fabric was braided to ensure strength. Decades later, the design carves its most celebrated styles, including the Gemelli shoulder bag. A slender iteration of the classic crescent silhouette, it suspends from a slim strap and opens to reveal one spacious compartment.
