Bottega Veneta is one of the leaders in luxury fashion and is best known for its leather goods. The chief designer, German-born Tomas Maier took the helm in 2001 and revived the brand by reworking the traditional signature intrecciato woven leather, and injecting a more modern feel on the supremely well-crafted clothing, shoes which have long been considered must-buys for any self-respecting style addict.
