You may never have heard of it, but Bottega Veneta is a serious player in the Italian leather luxury game. The company has been around since 1966, and is currently led by creative director Tomas Maier. The brand doesn't have a flashy logo, but you will know a Bottega Veneta bag by its leather latticework, just like on this elegant woven hobo.
