Step Inside Bottega Veneta’s Veneto Atelier.

A new film by Massimiliano Bomba for Bottega Veneta, ‘Craft in Motion’ showcases the brand’s heritage, innovation, and preservation of a unique savoir-faire.

Shot on location at its atelier in Montebello Vicentino, northern Italy, the short film gives viewers an unprecedented glimpse into the brand’s artisanal workshop, including its iconic Intrecciato.

Craft in Motion evokes Bottega Veneta’s collective ethos and shared commitment to quiet luxury. Alternating exterior and interior shots reveal the atelier’s serene, luminous setting in a restored 19th-century villa, the people, and the meticulous handmade processes behind each design.

LOEWE Weaves: A Collection of Unique Artisan Crafted Objects.

The brand has collaborated with Sotheby's on a collection of unique artisan-made objects that takes craft to the extreme, exploring new ways...

For Creative Director Matthieu Blazy, exceptional craft, creativity, and the concept of quiet power are the essence of Bottega Veneta. “I think luxury is something you feel rather than see; it is much more personal and emotive for the person wearing the clothing than for those looking at them. I want the wearer to be empowered without the clothing being loud. It is style over fashion in its timelessness.”

Since his appointment as Creative Director, Blazy has taken Bottega Veneta’s honed leatherwork techniques in innovative and sensual new directions, including the knit leather shoes of his latest collection, print leather denim, and the seamless Kalimero that opened his debut show. “Craft is not a ‘trend’. Neither is it something that has to be improved. It is a timeless technology. The irregularities of handwork make each Bottega Veneta design unique. This for me is true luxury.”
