.MEANING AND HISTORY.
THE HISTORY OF THE BOTTEGA VENETA BRAND BEGAN IN 1966 WHEN ITALIANS MICHELE TADDEI AND RENZO ZENGIARO FOUNDED A SMALL LEATHER GOODS WORKSHOP. DURING ITS FIRST YEARS,
THE COMPANY CARRIED OUT ORDERS FOR GIORGIO ARMANI, WHICH GAVE IT. SUPER CONFIDENT START, SO ALREADY IN THE 1970S, BOTTEGA VENETA BECAME AN INDEPENDENT BRAND.
IN THE VERY BEGINNING, THE BRAND SPECIALIZED ONLY IN THE PRODUCTION OF GOODS FROM LEATHER. AND ITS LEATHER PAST IS STILL VERY STRONG, AS EVEN TODAY THE BRAND IS MOSTLY
KNOWN FOR THE “INTRECCIATO” WEAVING METHOD OF LEATHER, WHICH WAS INVENTED BY THE BRAND’S ARTISANS.IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS, BOTTEGA VENETA STARTS CREATING COLLECTIONS
OF SHOES, BAGS, SUITCASES, AND OTHER LEATHER GOODS, AS WELL AS HOME ITEMS AND GIFTS. A LITTLE LATER THE LINES OF JEWELRY, OPTICS, HOME PERFUMES, AND FURNITURE WERE ADDED
TO THE BRAND’S PORTFOLIO. THE FIRST READY-TO-WEAR COLLECTION OF WOMEN’S CLOTHING WAS INTRODUCED BY BOTTEGA VENETA IN FEBRUARY 2005, AND THE SAME YEAR IN JUNE THE MEN’S
COLLECTION SAW THE LIGHT.
