Bottega Veneta Celebrates The Knot

The Knot is one of Bottega Veneta’s most recognizable and beloved handbags. When Tomas Maier took the reins as Creative Director in 2001, he recognized the special quality of the company’s small, rounded box clutch.
Maier created a new closure in the shape of a small leather knot and gave the bag its name. Since then, versions of the Knot have been featured in every Bottega Veneta collection. Its perfect shape and clear function have proved an irresistible canvas for Maier and the Bottega Veneta artisans.

Modern interpretations have ranged from the refined to the fanciful, including the Origami Knot, of intricately creased patent leather; the Jardin Knot, crafted from a profusion of leather blossoms; the Vintage Jewel Knot, embroidered with antique crystals; an Art Deco-inspired version in sterling silver with faceted onyx; and others of woven sterling silver, padded satin, and soft crocodile.

While the Knot is frequently copied, no imitation comes close to the quality, craftsmanship, and beauty of the genuine article. Regnbågsfestivalen 2008 Malmö | Gay pride malmö | Bigfoot body found | Aaliyah dead body
