The bread and butter of Bottega Veneta are their supple, luxuriously soft handbags, but the brand also has much to offer in the way of apparel, shoes, and even jewelry. Bottega Veneta’s reputation for pure sophistication was on full display at their Fall/Winter 2010 collection which was centered on line and movement. A color palette that included ink blue, chocolate, bottle green, carbon gray, and black was complemented by touches of iridescent metallics, and most of the looks were kept monochromatic, letting the craftsmanship be the center of attention.
As for the handbags, they ranged from large, sporty hunting bags to small evening purses. Shoes were made in two styles – some of suede and satin, others in metallic and iridescent leathers. Jewelry was made from antique sterling silver, colored enamel, and sweet water pearls.
