Bottega Veneta at outlet prices
Venetian leather house, famous for intrecciato weaving. The facts, and what to watch for when you buy it discounted.
| Founded | 1966 in Vicenza, Italy [1] |
|---|---|
| Founders | Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro [1] |
| Name | Italian for "Venetian boutique" [1] |

| Owner | Kering, since February 2001 ($156 million, via Gucci) [1] |

The woven intrecciato leather does the work a logo does at other houses: it is how most people recognise a Bottega Veneta bag [1].
Buying Bottega Veneta below list price
Leather goods rarely go on deep sale at the brand itself. Discounts are more common on ready-to-wear and shoes from past seasons. For bags, the pre-owned market is usually where the real savings are, which makes authentication the main question.
