Reliability is probably an underrated characteristic, both in people and in fashion brands. Seasonal flash is fun and merry-go-round of creative influences at a brand is intriguing, but when it comes down to it, the accessories that most women (and men, increasingly) want are just functional and beautifully made. At Bottega Veneta, Tomas Maier has long been making bags that are exactly that, and he continues–with a few small tweaks–for Pre-Fall 2017, which just debuted.
The collection’s bags are all still distinctly, obviously Bottega Veneta, but many of them are a bit more slight than Bottega bags have been over the past several years. The totes in particular cut a slimmer profile, and the collection adds several new micro bags that are small in a way Bottega’s day bags haven’t been in the past. That’s in keeping with an overarching industry trend, of course, but it’s also in line with the collection’s sparer proportions in general. Check out all the bags from the lookbook below.

I love that they stay true to the brand but manage to change it up each season.
This is an impressive collection of new shapes and looks. Your preview makes me want to see them in person!
Great collection!
This brand continues to do nothing for me. I can appreciate the quality but the style is meh at best.
So ladylike and classy, very Bottega
I love that they are all logo-free.
i usually love BV but nothing in this collection appeals to me, i was at their madison ave store yesterday and i prefer their classics!
None of these appeal to me but its exciting to see them get more adventurous and break out of their mold. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more designs.
Hrm. Maier at Bottega Veneta has really been turning it out over the last few seasons. This collection of handbags references a lot of the classic house tropes but in a modern way. Love the intricacy of the details.
I found a very beautiful bags here http://www.candy-look.com/
I really like BV as a brand and would love to have a bag from them, however so far I haven’t found the ideal style. For some reason I don’t like their hardware, maybe that is why
I think the clutch in slide 12 is too beautiful. Unfortunately, a clutch is nota bag I would use on a daily basis…
Beautiful !
Very very nice BUT BV bags look better in photos than in-person. Each season I have a set of bags that I love, I go into the store and am so disappointed that I walk out. But their photos are so good. I wish the bags were equally good in-person. Something about the price just doesn’t work.
Lovely but no, I could not carry a bag that small and the larger bags no because of the chains. Heavy and painful.
