Bottega Cabat - Woven LeatherThe Bottega Veneta Cabat quickly became a timeless staple for the Bottega brand. The classic Intrecciato Cabat takes two people two full days to weave the leather into the seamless shape. There is no inner lining, it is a woven leather body inside and out. Another day is needed for stitching, applying handles, and finishing every edge by hand. Prior to these three days, there is ample time spent treating, preparing, and cutting the leather itself. A very intricate and time-consuming process, indeed. When inspecting a Cabat closely, one can sense the delicate craftsmanship that goes into its making. Nothing about it is simple, every stitch is sturdy and meticulously placed.

BV Cabat in LilacAfter having the Bottega Veneta Lilac Intrecciato Nappa Cabat in my hands, I understood all of the enamor. The Cabat is light, yet large and spacious. The handles fit perfectly over my shoulder without hugging my underarm. The body holds its shape, whether filled up or empty. The shape resembles an ordinary tote, yet this bag is anything but ordinary. It speaks to you, it is graceful, and it just works. Lilac is the very color we reviewed in the Campana previously, which I deemed perfect at the time and I stand behind that. The color is more subdued when paired with certain palettes and jumps out to look more purple with others.

The Cabat is one of those bags that ‘clicks’ and I now see why some own large collections of this design. We reviewed the medium size, the dimensions measure 9.8 x 15.6 x 6.4 inches. Clearly, I am sold.
