BOTTEGA FOR BOTTEGAS

‘Bottega’ translates in essence to ‘workshop’ – a producer of small runs of handmade products realised with excellent attention to craftsmanship and creativity. As one of the world’s most visible bottegas, Bottega Veneta is committed to supporting other bottegas from around the world. For the second consecutive year, Bottega Veneta passes along its global visibility to fourteen bottegas. Last year, Bottega Veneta featured bottegas exclusively from Italy. This year, the project features bottegas from around the world with practices and products inspired by Italian culture. This December, the Bottega Veneta website, advertising, newsletters, and store windows pay homage to bottegas and celebrate the Italian way of life.
