When we think of Bottega Veneta, we think of fine leather goods and the label’s iconic intrecciato pattern. There is simply no arguing the appeal of Bottega Veneta’s apparel and accessories. This is why we immediately took notice when we first laid eyes on the recent addition to the men’s bag collection for Bottega Veneta’s Fall-Winter 2014/2015 collection – the Gardena men’s messenger bag.
Originally introduced for women in Bottega Veneta’s Earl-Fall 2014 collection, the bag is characterized by its understated details. Since its initial genesis, the men’s version boasts Bottega Veneta’s renowned craftsmanship combined with the utmost functionality for everyday use. Soft and unstructured, the Gardena is generously sized for ample capacity and comes with an oversized flap enhanced with iconic intrecciato elements, buckle closures, and an adjustable strap that gives the bag a relaxed look and feel.
The Bottega Veneta Gardena messenger bag for men is available in a variety of materials and colors. The Gardena in Buffalo is offered in Nero, Aubergine and New Army, while the bags in Ostrich and Waxed Leather is available in Nero, New Light Grey and New Chartreuse, and finally the ones in Calf Hair and Madras Heritage come in Nero, Tourmaline and New Dark Grey.
