Though known for their leatherwork and signature intrecciato pattern, Bottega Veneta handbags display a fearless range of creativity alongside their more easily recognizable designs. Mini bags, also known as reticules, have been fashionable since the 1900’s, with Jacquemus more recently reviving the trend in 2017. While what’s old may indeed be new again, as it is in Bottega and in fashion at large, this micro drawstring bag is already a timeless classic. Made from cloth, this bag features a cheerful patchwork design of luminous beaded squares and rectangles done in gold, amber, peach, yellow, lavender, and periwinkle. A twisted lavender drawstring closure doubles as a strap, knotted near the end to create a tassel.
