The designersįollowing the take-over by the Gucci-Group, star designer Tom Ford recruits the German fashion designer Tomas Meier as creative director. Further artists follow - well known artists such as Nan Goldin, Annie Leibovitz and Philip-Lorca di Corcia contribute to the success of the company. Andy Warhol, himself an avid fan of the brand, shoots a short film for the company in the 1980’s. In the 1970’s, Bottega Veneta conquers the USA, partly thanks to the exiled Italian communities living in the USA, and goes on to conquer the world of international jet-setting. The unique Intercciato weaving technique serves as a trademark of the company, which was developed in the 1960’s in the company’s own atelier and has stood since then as the perfect example of high-quality handicraft, the best material and contemporary functionality. The collectionsįrom the beginning, the designers specialise in high-quality, handcrafted leather goods, although in due course the portfolio is extended to Prêt-à-porter for him and for her, furniture and jewels. The name Bottega Veneta means “Venetian Atelier” and harks back to the roots of the family-run company. The master Italian leather goods craftsmen opened the company as a small workshop for themselves to produce leather goods in Vicenza. The luxury Italian label Bottega Veneta was set up by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro in 1966.
