The Bottega Veneta Salon 01 accessories are imagined as quaint, tonal, monolithic structures that mimic the slow, metrical austerity of a great painting that reflects Daniel Lee’s continuation from the preceding Wardrobe collection — the newness in familiarity serves to excite without dissonance. Or it can be said that they were designed to bring to mind interior furnishings and elicit the comforting reassurance of home: simple accessories bringing to home the comfort and joy of a lazy day at home.
Pictured above: The central theme behind the Bottega Veneta Salon 01 Accessories collection centres around the notion of simplicity and intimacy in response to the global need for sensitivity. And sensitive the Point wool woven clutch bag is: a tactile woven wool body that one can caress lovingly while holding it close to his body.

The accessories take on the various identities of being at home be it slouching on the sofa or pottering around the house to do even the most menial of chores. The Climber rubber slip-on shoes are a luxurious take on our own house slippers: a grooved sole providing traction even when one steps out of the comforts of his own home.

Meant to resemble a pillow while feeling exactly like a pillow, the Beak leather and metal belt bag comes in a plush squishy leather that expands even if one overstuffs it while its metal seatbelt buckle provides an ASMR worthy click when it closes.

A different version of the rubber slippers pictured above from the Bottega Veneta Salon 01 Accessories collection, these Lattice wool woven slippers comes in a neon colour with a pull tab that makes it even more convenient to slip on one’s foot.
