Bottega Veneta Cassette

The Cassette is the bag most responsible for Bottega Veneta's 2020s resurgence, introduced by Daniel Lee in 2019 as a compact, boxy shoulder bag built almost entirely from Maxi Intrecciato — the largest weave size in the house's range, with strips wide enough to read as a graphic pattern rather than a texture. That scale is exactly what makes the Cassette's care profile different from smaller, tighter-woven Bottega pieces. Wide strips have more surface area exposed at every corner and edge, which means more places for a strip to loosen, catch, or lift away from the weave before the rest of the bag shows any wear at all.
