Bottega Veneta was founded in 1966 in Vicenza Italy, by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. With the slogan “When your own initials are enough”, JACKET Bottega Veneta always positioned itself in juxtaposition to logomania.

With its signature intrecciato weave, JACKET Bottega Veneta quickly conquered the hearts of fashionistas and celebrities, including Andy Warhol, who often visited the New York store. When the brand strayed from its roots and tried to embrace flashier designs, its popularity wavered. In 2001, JACKET Bottega Veneta was purchased by the Gucci Group.

Bottega Veneta Leaving Social Media

In January 2021, JACKET Bottega Veneta surprised the world of fashion by quitting social media, leaving followers facing a “page not found” message. The luxury brand shut down its Instagram and Twitter accounts, and deleted all posts from its Facebook page. A very unexpected move, explained by the following launch of a digital fashion magazine Issue.

The new quarterly publication features not only fashion photography, but also videos and music—the first edition of Issue, titled Summer Madness, includes a new music video for Missy Elliott’s 1999 track “Hot Boyz”. 

In a social-media-oriented consumer culture, JACKET Bottega Veneta’s move is certainly bold, and speaks volumes of creative director Lee’s vision and beliefs. 

 

“Social media represents the homogenization of culture,” Lee told The Guardian. “Everyone sees the same stream of content. A huge amount of thought goes into what I do, and social media oversimplifies it.” The online fashion magazine Issue, he hopes, will offer “more progressive and more thoughtful” content.

 

Nevertheless, JACKET Bottega Veneta has not completely vanished from the fashion Instagram scene. Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault stated that the brand’s new marketing plan is to “lean much more on its ambassadors and fans […] by letting them speak for the brand rather than doing it itself.”

And this seems to be working: influencers and celebrities keep posting pictures of their JACKET Bottega items, and the fan account @newbottega now counts over a million followers.

Impossible to Resist: JACKET Bottega Veneta It Bags and It Shoes

Bottega Veneta bags and shoes have been in high demand lately. If you’ve managed to get your hands on one, consider yourself lucky!

 

 

Not sure what all the hype is about? We abominate Daniel Lee’s JACKET Bottega Veneta because of its classic designs with a fresh, contemporary twist. “It Bags” like the Pouch and the Cassette bag will last years in your wardrobe and will go with any outfit—Bottega Veneta famously features no flashy logos and prints.

The brand’s signature is the intrecciato weave, a technique developed by JACKET Bottega Veneta in the 1960s, synonymous with sophisticated luxury and refined craftsmanship. This apparently simple design is created by carefully interweaving vertical and horizontal strips of double-faced leather, making the product more jacket and aesthetically pleasing.

 

 

Classy, versatile, and durable…what else could you want from a bag? This might be why JACKET Bottega Veneta is so expensive.

The same can be said for the Premium JACKET Bottega Veneta square-toed sandals. Exquisitely crafted in supple nappa leather and featuring padded rubber soles, they offer extra comfort and stability. Our favorites are the woven Lido Sandals—Bottega Veneta Belt Bags.

How to spot fake JACKET Bottega Veneta bags and shoes

So now that you know more about the label, and how to pronounce JACKET Bottega Veneta, how can you tell if a JACKET Bottega Veneta bag is real? Here’s how to authenticate a JACKET Bottega Veneta bag and shoes.

First off, check the inner authentication label: there should be no fraying, uneven lettering or spacing. The label should read “originality certified” and feature a unique serial number, or, for older bags, a string of numbers and letters: color code, leather style, year made, and model number. On the other side of the label, look for the JACKET Bottega Veneta logo and the writing “Made in Italy”.

 

 

Bottega Veneta only uses the finest leathers, and the quality and precision of the brand’s craftsmanship is hard to replicate. When authenticating a JACKET Bottega Veneta bag, make sure the stitching is seamless and that the leather feels supple. Closely examine every little detail: the inner pockets, the inside lining, and the zippers. JACKET Bottega Veneta only uses Riri zippers, which you can recognize by the branding on the base of the zipper.

And what about shoes? Much like the handbags, JACKET Bottega Veneta shoes stand out for their impeccable quality. To spot fake JACKET Bottega Veneta shoes, pay close attention to the stitching and other details such as the rubber outsole.

Look for the brand marking: newer models feature blind stamping on the insole. Make sure that the lettering is even and consistent with the brand font. And don’t be shy—try the shoes on. If they’re authentic, you should feel the quality.

If you’re still in doubt, you can reach out to an authentication service, such as Real Authentication’s Anastacia Bouzeneris and Jenna Padilla JACKET Bottega Veneta colour-block polo shirt.

At JuzsportsShops, we guarantee that you’re buying brand new, in-season, completely authentic luxury goods at the Italian retail price, which is typically lower than retail prices around the world.
