Some brands thrive on the seasonal churn that comes with novelty, trend cycles and the constant introduction of new designs, but Bottega Veneta is not among them. Instead, the staid Italian powerhouse has a wide line of functional, beautiful bags that are useful in the lives of real women, and every season, it remixes and reimagines them and occasionally introduces new pieces instead of relying on the press that comes with splashy debuts of new It Bag hopefuls.
That consistency and luxury is exactly what you’ll find in Bottega Veneta’s Resort 2017 lookbook, which features bags in a soft palette of mixed colors and textures, with plenty of exotic accents and the brand’s signature intrecciato woven leather. They’re sumptuous and very pretty, but they’re also all the types of bags that I could see women carrying to work or to a lunch date with a friend. Bottega makes real-life luxury, which is the best endorsement I can think of.

Beautiful collection.
Gorgeous. So many I like, but my favorite is number 21, esp if it came in a smaller size. Superb collection.
That’s the one that really attracted my eye as well. Wish the photo showed more of the bag, but what is visible is just beautiful.
One of the most beautiful collections, I have EVER seen…. well done, Bottega Veneta!
Love it. Absolutely love it.
I want all of them. BV does it right.
LOVE it! Tomas Maier and his team are all geniuses!
Beautiful, but I see one more Chanel Boy look alike.
Agree. These are lovely bags, though.
Hm I wouldn’t consider them all the types of bags for work, but definitely perfect for lunch dates. Most are not functional sized and too decorative for real women going to work, except maybe for those women working in creative industries.
There are some lovely bags in this collection, BV bags have such a lovely sheen and some of their colours are just beautiful.
Ooh nice. I love how youthful the bags look in color, size, and texture. I’m so tired of the old lady huge handbag look of late. I mean, how much stuff does one need to carry?! I feel like some women need to KonMarie their handbags.
It’s so delicately pretty! So feminine!
Yeh, the first pink one and the egg shell blue one I really like. Actually, the first ever BV’s to actually catch my eye. Usually scurry quickly past them at NM and am usually so not a fan. (sorry). These, though, are cute!!
Stunning!
