Matthieu Blazy had big shoes to fill when he took the helm at Bottega Veneta, and the Belgian designer made an impressive splash with the introduction of the Sardine bag. The Italian house has become something of a go-to for cult-favourite It Bags, and this slouchy style is no exception. It’s expertly crafted from butter-soft leather in the label’s signature intrecciato weave, playfully accented with a solid, handcrafted fish-shaped handle (the clue is in the name, after all).
Bottega Veneta's intrecciato weave has become so synonymous with the house that it operates on its own as an instantly recognisable logo. Made in Italy from black leather, this tote bag has a sculptural, gold-tone top handle and knotted straps. Use the internal pockets to secure small essentials.
