Bottega Veneta Burgundy Intrecciato Leather Clutch, 1980s

The Bottega Veneta intrecciato weave has and will always be an iconic staple of leather and luxury. The less-is-more approach allows the design to speak for itself and ensures that it is both fashion-forward and functional. Made in a supple, lustrous cognac leather, this Bottega Veneta clutch has a rounded envelope shape.

At the center, the deep brown tortoise lucite loops around latching at the center. Small pieces of gold hardware add tiny flecks of detail on the handle and latch. Functionally designed, this clutch is an excellent for a night out or for casual day-to-day use. It can be seen pictured in the images to the left in a 1981 print ad for Neiman Marcus.
