The newest colour story from Bottega Veneta is a rich, mesmerising Royal Blue. Some of the house’s most cherished silhouettes are given a new emotional dimension by the rich, powerful shade.

Royal Blue emerges over a chosen selection of Bottega classics, giving renewed vitality to old forms. The Small Andiamo bag becomes a standout in this shade, its clean square construction, gold embellishments and braided leather trim creating a dramatic contrast. The Giorno bag follows with a sleek shoulder design that appears even more sophisticated in Royal Blue.

For those drawn to Bottega’s softer lexicon, the Dustbag emerges in Royal Blue with a flexible construction that displays how the hue responds when the lines loosen. The house’s braided strap is combined with a longer leather shoulder strap and subtle gold hardware in the Small Parachute bag, which warms the blue without detracting from its depth.

The Bang Bang bag, already a cult hit, becomes even sharper in Royal Blue. The top handle, lengthened strap and characteristic gold zip design stand out perfectly against the darker colour. Everything feels better, even the little things. The Tab Key Ring, the Intreccio leather key ring strap and the basic leather key ring each receive the new colour treatment.

The Cat Charm, a braided leather ornament with a silhouette that is both fanciful and opulent, is the most endearing addition. Soon, the entire Royal Blue portfolio will be available online.
