The Winter 24 show exudes a sense of rebirth with a strong focus on moving forward and returning to one’s roots. This season, smooth leathers dominate the collection, highlighting a return to Bottega Veneta’s pre-Intrecciato craftsmanship with Winter 24 bags and emphasizing the silhouettes of iconic bags. The essence of Bottega Veneta’s identity is captured through the superior quality of the materials – meticulously chosen for their softness and silkiness – and the distinct silhouettes of the accessories.

Among the standout pieces is the Liberta crossbody bag, crafted from Smoothie Calf Leather. This exceptionally smooth leather bag features a unique brass hook and a coaxial loop closure – a design element previously seen in belt collections. Stepping away from the traditional Intrecciato technique, the Liberta bag celebrates the inherent qualities of the outstanding leather and its natural attributes. Though inspired by an archival design from the 1970s, contemporary methods and innovations at select tanneries reveal the material’s true essence. The Liberta bag is lined with calf leather under its flap and suede on the interior, and is available in both small and medium sizes.
