ORIGIN
Originally designed for the men’s line by Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier, this women’s version of the ‘Monaco’ has recently been introduced, bridging the two worlds of the luxury brand.
STYLE
Simple and ultrasophisticated, the ‘Monaco’ takes on different personas depending on the size (small, medium or large), material (nappa leather or exotic skins) or colour … from camel to peacock blue.
TRIVIA
The name ‘Monaco’ pays homage to the Italian name for the German city of Munich, thereby establishing a link between the Italian roots of the house and the Germanic origins of its creative director.
TECHNIQUE
Made entirely in Italy, the ‘Monaco’ is constructed with the utmost precision by master craftsmen, with fine details including leather weaving, handpainted edges and loop elements along the handle straps.
WISH LIST
The nappa leather version showcases artisan braiding, a signature of Bottega Veneta and the culmination of hundreds of years of tradition. The ‘Arizona’ colour seen here is seriously covetable.
