Intrecciato
Bottega Veneta's hand-woven leather strips.
Fashionphile explains that intrecciato means "intertwined" or "braided" in Italian and is Bottega Veneta's signature leather weave. The classic weave runs in diamonds, while the Maxi Intrecciato uses oversized squares. On genuine pieces the woven strips show natural lifts, rather than being glued down or embossed onto a flat sheet. See our Intrecciato authentication guide.
