Bottega Veneta Bags & Handbags for Women

Enjoy Italian Style With Bottega Veneta Handbags

A Bottega Veneta women's bag is a statement piece, so choose it wisely. These luxury handbags, from one of Italy's finest brands, are sure to draw attention. Bottega Veneta clutches, shoulder bags, and handbags can all be found on eBay. Choose one as a special gift for a loved one, or bring a touch of class to your own wardrobe with these stylish bags.

Bottega Veneta bags are famous for being made from top-quality Italian leather. However, there is a lot of variety in the types of leather that you'll find, including some novelty choices that are rarely seen in other brands. Snakeskin and crocodile skin bags are available, and apart from those, here are some of the most common styles that you'll find:

• Butter calf leather. Soft and with a distinctive grain, this is classic leather. Calf leather is not as tough as the skin of an adult cow, making it ideal for handbags.
• Intrecciato. A hallmark of Bottega Veneta, these bags feature interwoven leather straps in a basketweave design. An intrecciato bag is an excellent choice for a statement piece.
• Metallic leather. As the name suggests, this leather has been treated with a metallic finish for an eye-catching look that is more suited to evening wear rather than the daytime.
• Sponge leather. Another unique Bottega Veneta piece, sponge leather bags are covered with hand-knotted loops of leather for a distinctive appearance.

If you're looking for a classic, timeless Bottega Veneta design, then choose a piece made from intrecciato leather. In particular, vintage Bottega Veneta bags usually feature very discreet labels, in contrast with other designers that favour big, bold brand names. Vintage handbags often have the intrecciato pattern made from very small strips of leather, while contemporary designs usually feature broader strips for a different look.

As well as vintage offerings, there are contemporary Bottega Veneta handbags for women. In particular, the brand's 21st-century designs focus on clutches, and Bottega Veneta oversized pouches have become well-known among celebrities. Choose one in metallic leather for an evening bag that is sure to catch the eye.

There are so many different options out there that you could build a full collection of Bottega Veneta bags, and match each one with a different style of clothing. Classic intrecciato shoulder bags look good with smart clothes in a work environment. The more recent, oversized metallic clutches are ideal for the evening.
