Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta was originally founded in 1966 by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro in Vicenza as a simple leather goods company: indeed, the name directly translates as ‘Venetian Shop’. With the central tenets of discretion, quality and craftsmanship, in the ‘70s and ‘80s it built up a loyal following for its refreshingly logo-less accessories, with the likes of Andy Warhol, Lauren Hutton and Jacqueline Kennedy heralding the brand as one of fashion’s best-kept secrets.
