Bottega Veneta’s Customisation Atelier

  • By Marcus Li

Cutting through the noise of logomania is Italian luxury leather maison Bottega Veneta with its tagline of “When your own initials are enough”. While it has ventured into the logo craze briefly in the 1980s, it is adhering to its refined sense of opulence today by pushing the envelope of understated luxury with its Customisation Atelier.

Most of today’s fashion accessories can be likened to Jackson Pollock or Jean-Michel Basquiat paintings, where everything jumps out at you. Bottega Veneta’s accessories, on the other hand, are refined and modern like a Mark Rothko. Who can resist commissioning such masterpieces?

The Customisation Atelier allows one to personalise his favourite Bottega Veneta leather item, a testament to the brand’s philosophy that is hinged on individuality and confidence.

There are 12 women’s classics and four men’s styles, which includes a briefcase, a document-case, continental wallets, and small leather goods. Your initials could either be embossed directly on the leather or an internal silver plaque.

A wide selection of canvases is also available. Choose from a range of precious leathers such as ostrich and crocodile, with the latter offering options of distinctive finishes such as tie&die, sablé or glace effects.

Apart from timeless hues, make your piece truly unique with an extensive palette of colours such as tourmaline, burnt orange, mint green, raspberry red, plum, and hot pink. All options stem from Bottega Veneta’s elaborate processes and workmanship that enhances the beauty of the material while ensuring the highest quality.

All customised orders are handled by the brand’s Montebello Vicentino atelier in Italy, where seasoned artisans can take a few months to bring the client’s dream accessory to life. This state-of-the-art facility, built with the highest standard of eco-sustainability in mind, is also where Bottega Veneta’s signature Intrecciato weave is made.

One can place his trust in the artisans’ time-honed skill and traditional mastery to craft Bottega Veneta’s creations of understated elegance, pieces of art on which one would feel proud to have his initials.
