Bottega Veneta is an Italian luxury fashion house based in Milan, Italy. Its product lines for men and women include ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, accessories, jewellery and fragrances.
Bottega Veneta was founded in 1966 in Vicenza, Veneto, by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. Its Intrecciato leather-weaving was an instant hit. After the company was purchased by the Gucci Group in 2001, a new “stealth wealth” pulse revived Bottega Veneta. The company opened La Scuola dei Maestri Pellettieri di Bottega Veneta (school of leather craftsmanship) in 2006, which is located in its new atelier in Montebello Vicentino since 2013.
Bartolomeo Rongone has been the CEO of Bottega Veneta since September 2019 and Matthieu Blazy the creative director since November 2021. Bottega Veneta operates 268 stores for 3,754 employees and generated 1.140 billion euros in sales (2020). Bottega Veneta is a subsidiary of the luxury group Kering.
