Bottega Veneta has long been celebrated for its cerebral take on travel, metaphorically or literally like in its Spring/Summer 2024 show which transported onlookers across global influences. This summer embark on your journey with Bottega's Andiamo bag. Under the design expertise of Matthieu Blazy, the Andiamo bag, whose name poetically translates to "Let's go" in Italian, captures the very essence of adventure and the spirit of movement, a key value of Blazy's philosophy of "craft in motion."
First debuted in the Summer 2023 collection, the Andiamo bag has become an icon, partnering functionality with elegant design. This latest iteration of the Andiamo bag for Summer 2024, introduces washed Bristol calfskin and canvas, an alluring contrast of materials that capture quality and durability of the brand. Bristol calfskin, a premium leather sourced from France, undergoes an intricate process of ageing, washing, and manual brushing, achieving a texture that is visually natural and pleasing to the touch. This prized craftsmanship ensures each Andiamo bag exudes a refined aesthetic and offers a robust structure for the demands of daily use.
Complementing the luxurious feel of the leather, the canvas body of the Andiamo bag adds a layer of practicality and resilience, perfect for the rigors of travel. The juxtaposition of these materials reflects Bottega Veneta's innovative approach to design, where beauty and functionality converge. The bag's distinctive features include a brass metal knot that adorns and secures its braided straps, an elegant solution that allows for versatile wearability. Whether slung over the shoulder or carried across the body, the Andiamo bag adapts effortlessly to the needs of the modern traveller, encapsulating the spirit of going places.
Available in small and large sizes, and presented in Natural/Light Wood (light brown and beige) colorways, the Summer 24 Andiamo bag becomes the latest member to the Andiamo family, each bag a tribute to the journeys that inspire us and the heritage that propels us forward.
