We were intrigued to learn more about the fascinating history of Intrecciato at Bottega Veneta and how this distinctive technique has become such a vital part of the brand's DNA. The story of its creation is truly remarkable. In the late 1960s, when Bottega Veneta began crafting accessories, the Veneto region was renowned for its exceptional production of ready-to-wear clothing, but not leather goods. The sewing machines in the workshops were designed to handle only cloth, not leather.
The talented artisans at Bottega Veneta were undaunted by this challenge, using their ingenuity and skill to work with ultra-thin leather that could fit under the needle of the machines. They wove the delicate leather strips into the intricate Intrecciato pattern, creating an innovative and durable material that was perfect for accessories. Over time, the technique became a signature element of the Bottega Veneta brand, embodying the brand's core values of craftsmanship, quality, and creativity.
Today, Intrecciato remains an iconic feature of Bottega Veneta's designs, appearing in a range of accessories from bags to shoes and even jewelry. The technique is a testament to the brand's dedication to excellence and its commitment to preserving traditional Italian craftsmanship in the face of modern challenges. Today there are a handful of companies that make designer bags using this artisan technique. In addition to Bottega Veneta, three notable companies are Ghibli, Fontanelli and Paolo Masi.
