Bottega Veneta presents its latest artistic venture: a capsule collection that translates the whimsical universe of American children's author and illustrator Richard Scarry into the realm of luxury. Launched November 24, the collection realizes Creative Director Matthieu Blazy's profound appreciation for Scarry's storytelling legacy, seamlessly extending the narrative of discovery first introduced in his Summer 2025 collection.
Anchoring the collection is an exceptional edition of Scarry's "Biggest Word Book Ever," reimagined at a commanding 62.5 x 52.5 cm. The house's signature Intrecciato leather adorns the cover of this 2013 edition adaptation, while beloved character Lowly Worm—whose Tyrolean hat, red bowtie, and singular shoe ensemble Blazy lauds as "the best outfit in the world"—takes center stage.
Complementing this centerpiece, a meticulously crafted sketchbook edition mirrors the main volume's Intrecciato Lowly Worm motif. Each piece bears a Bottega Veneta Ex Libris sticker on its opening page, followed by pristine pages awaiting personal annotations and sketches.
The collection extends its narrative through a carefully curated selection of accessories. A striped interpretation of the Intrecciato Dust Bag emerges in hues drawn directly from Scarry's distinctive palette. This chromatic story continues across a belt featuring an artfully crafted apple-shaped buckle, precisely detailed wallets, and a harmonious card holder. Each piece articulates the intersection of Scarry's playful aesthetic with Bottega Veneta's refined craftsmanship.
This collaboration marks a distinctive moment in luxury fashion, where Blazy's masterful interpretation bridges the gap between cherished childhood nostalgia and contemporary luxury. Through this capsule paying homage to Scarry’s artistic legacy and through the Summer 2025 campaign, Bottega Veneta remains at the forefront of creative innovation.
