The rise of a workshop
The company was founded in 1966 by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro in Vicenza, northern Italy. True to the name “Venetian Workshop”, Taddei and Zengiaro aimed to produce leather goods with the highest level of craftsmanship from the very beginning. Bottega Veneta developed a unique leather braiding pattern, called “Intrecciato,” which is still typical of the label today and adorns the outside of many of its products. In contrast to all other brands, Bottega Veneta consistently avoided logos on its products and appropriately advertised with the slogan “When your own initials are enough”. The brand's success began in the 1970s. Bottega Veneta's products became a popular figurehead for the international jet set. The brand's customers included the First Lady of the USA, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Farah Pahlavi, the former Empress of Iran.
Bottega Veneta today
After difficult economic times in the 1980s and 1990s, the company was sold to the Gucci Group in 2001. Bottega Veneta's fashion division, which only began in 1998, was temporarily discontinued but was subsequently revived. Since then, the focus has once again been on the excellent craftsmanship of the products and the intrecciato braided pattern. The Italian luxury label has also been marketing its own jewelry line since 2006 and in the years since expanded its range to include furniture design and interior design. In 2011 and 2013, the production of women's and men's fragrances began under the brand name. To this day, Bottega Veneta customers value the use of exquisite materials, excellent workmanship and unique design of the products. As in its entire company history, the company still avoids distinctive labels and fast-moving trends.
