MORE INFO:
The butterfly was first introduced in the Bottega Veneta collections in the late 1970s and has been a signature and symbol of the brand since.
History of Bottega Veneta:
Bottega Veneta was founded in Vicenza in 1966 by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro with producing fine leather goods. It was Bottega’s non-branded philosophy that gave its items a rarefied pith. It used the slogan, “When your own initials are enough,”.
The brand established itself as a brand for the confident but understated connoisseur from the start. It was in the late 70s that Taddei’s former wife, Laura Moltedo took contol of the brand. The eighties were when Bottega gained recognition by famous artists and celebrities alike. A regular patron was Andy Warhol. He often stopped visited the New York store – and went on to produce a short film for the brand.
