Bottega Veneta isn’t afraid of using alternative materials for some of its latest handbags. The Arco, for one, was recently unveiled in full rubber with colourful hues like Chalk, Kiwi and Tangerine, which are all great for the summer season.

Recently, Creative Director Matthieu Blazy also dressed up another new-in Bottega Veneta design with recyclable rubber, calling it the Punch bag which features a chic hobo shape that’s very much on-trend right now.

This fun shoulder bag features a uniquely curved base, and the fact that it’s made out of rubber also means that it carries a slight bounce whenever you give it a gentle press. Measuring 27 cm at its widest and 17 cm high, the shoulder bag comes fitted with an interior nylon drawstring pouch to keep your contents safely in place at all times.

Aside from carrying the Punch bag via the adjustable shoulder strap, Bottega Veneta has also added a V-shaped cut-out on both sides that allows you to hold it as a miniature tote. The combination of recyclable rubber and nylon also keeps the bag casual and lightweight, aside from being easy to clean thanks to its water-resistant properties.

Retailing at SGD2230 apiece, the bag is currently available at Bottega Veneta Marina Bay Sands, and the Italian fashion house’s Singapore online store. Vibrant hues of Acid Green, Parakeet and Tangerine gives the Punch the perfect punch when it comes to colour, a great rounder that’s easy on the eyes and easy on the wallet.
