Small Andiamo

This one is worked in Intrecciato nappa, the woven-leather technique Bottega Veneta is built on, where strips of leather are interlaced into a soft lattice. In burgundy it reads deep wine by daylight and close to black after dark. At 9.6 inches wide, 7.9 inches tall and 3.9 inches deep, the small size takes a phone, a card case, keys and a lipstick without straining its line, and the strap's 20-inch drop sits comfortably on the shoulder, even over a coat.

Burgundy is a winter color, and the Andiamo knows it. Wear it with camel, charcoal and cream knits by day, or against black for evenings and formal dinners where a bag should be noticed slowly rather than all at once. The weave does the talking; keep jewelry quiet and let it. Carry it through a season with Saclyn and see whether it earns a permanent place.
