From the stunning collaboration with New York-based Italian architect and urban planner, Gaetano Pesce, which featured graffiti-designed resin chairs on the show set, to the sight of Kate Moss strutting down the runway in look six of the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection, Bottega Veneta’s SS 2023 runway show was a spectacle to behold. Among the highlights on its runway was the highly-anticipated debut of the Andiamo bag, which has captured the attention of fashionistas and A-listers alike.
Matthieu Blazy’s Bottega Veneta is at the forefront of the understated elegance trend, where luxury meets subtlety to produce timeless pieces that can weather hundreds of wears. The brand’s latest offering for spring, the Andiamo bag, embodies this ethos perfectly. Translating to “we go” in Italian, this Andiamo tote is a rallying cry to seize the day and embark on new adventures with enough style.
In his second show for Bottega Veneta, Matthieu Blazy caused quite a stir with his cleverly crafted leather jeans and shirts that played tricks on the eye. But that wasn’t the only thing that had people buzzing — the appearance of Kate Moss was also a noteworthy moment. However, amidst the chic yet understated pieces, Blazy’s bold and daring new bag design, the Andiamo, stole the show and quickly became the talk of the town. Fashion enthusiasts were already mentally adding it to their must-have lists as soon as the show was over.
The Andiamo bag is a masterpiece that flaunts the signature intrecciato weave, synonymous with the house of Bottega. Its distinctive design, embellished with a metal-knot adornment clasp, is an unmistakable hallmark of luxury. With top handles and a crossbody strap, this bag offers the perfect hands-free solution for the modern woman… (or man) on the go. Available in small, medium, and large sizes, it caters to all your schlepping needs. And if that’s not enough, it also comes in a range of muted colors, including the delectable Fondant — a luscious shade reminiscent of dark chocolate Italian gelato that is sure to leave you craving for more.
The Andiomo bag splurge further finds its worth in its popularity amongst some of our favorite celebrities. Everyone from Michelle Yeoh to Jacob Elordi has been photographed sporting this high-fashion tote around town. Even RM of BTS and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are fans! For Jacob Elordi, the Andiamo bag was the perfect antidote to his stereotypical L.A. bro outfit of a casual sweatshirt, gym shorts, and sneakers. It just goes to show that true luxury knows no bounds — it can be worn anywhere, anytime.
Sure, the Andiamo bag may come with a hefty price tag; the smallest size starts at $4,100, but if you’re going to invest in a designer bag, you might as well make the most of it. Its seamless blend of style and utility makes it the perfect accessory for sophisticated day-to-day living. Whether you prefer to carry it by hand or sling it over your shoulder for a hassle-free urban adventure, this “craft in motion” bag has got you covered.
