On my search to look for sustainable and luxurious trendy bags , I found the candy cassette leather shoulder bag from Bottega Veneta which ended up to be one the best purchases of my life. Not because of the beautiful design but because of the values of the brand. Bottega Veneta is now offering lifetime warranty with its new Certificate of Craft program, a new service that “offers unlimited refresh and repair" for any Bottega Veneta handbag this program has just convert my bag in a very good investment. Why? Because I can either resell it when I get bored of it and pass the lifetime warranty to someone else or I can inherit it. It takes days, not hours, to make their products. According to Leo Rongone, CEO of Bottega Veneta they are designed to last forever. The brand’s new commitment to craftsmanship brings me back to the concept of intrecciato a technique that was developed in the 60s by this Luxury house as a result of the Veneto region in the north east of Italy where Bottega Venetta headquarters were located. Intrecciato means braided in Italian is a technique to weave this thin leather together into thicker to build more durable pieces and it has become an iconic technique for the brand. This bag is very useful for night outs where you just need to carry your phone, and essential make up but not more.
