With a name like ‘The Knot‘, you might half expect to see some sort of bridal clutch. Something white, ivory or blue, with maybe a sparkly crystal or two. Instead, it’s a funky ‘orchid’ purple and light pink ombré-style leather box clutch with purple scribble-effect stitching. The Bottega Veneta The Knot leather clutch actually doesn’t look like leather. At first glance it appears to be some sort of satin fabric, with the ‘scribbled’ stitching all over. The ‘scribbling’, along with the ombré effect, makes it look a lot more contemporary and less classic like traditional Bottega Veneta handbags. But the brand remains all in the details – the supple leather trim, knotted clasp fastening and brown suede lining. It’s a fresh spin on the box clutch, which can either look ‘red carpet fabulous’ or slightly stuffy. And it’s totally unexpected from Bottega Veneta. But we’re not at all disappointed.
