Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta was founded in 1966 in Vicenza, Veneto, by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. Its "Intrecciato" leather-weaving was an instant hit. After the company was purchased by the Gucci Group in 2001, a new “stealth wealth” pulse revived Bottega Veneta. The company opened "La Scuola dei Maestri Pellettieri di Bottega Veneta" (school of leather craftsmanship) in 2006, which is located in its new atelier in Montebello Vicentino since 2013.
