With Andiamo translating to “let’s go” in Italian, the versatile top-handle bag perfectly captures Bottega Veneta’s spirit of easygoing adventure. The androgynous everyday style simultaneously pays tribute to Matthieu Blazy’s craft-in-motion design philosophy. In the latest addition to the Andiamo family, washed Bristol calfskin and heavy-duty canvas inject a dose of rugged charm.
Sourced from France, the Bristol calfskin undergoes a special treatment to create its deliberate aged look. This involves a washing and manual brushing process, resulting in leather boasting a firm structure yet a surprisingly gentle touch. Providing balance to the buttery-soft leather, the sturdy canvas contributes durability, as well as visual and textural contrast.

A touch of refined elegance is evident in the brass metal knot adorning the bag’s braided straps. This functional detail lets you carry the Andiamo comfortably over the shoulder or across the body. Adapting easily to your needs, the new version comes in two sizes, both in a single colour combination that accents light brown Bristol calfskin with beige canvas tones.
Pre-orders are open online, with a retail price of SGD5300 for the Small Andiamo and SGD11,080 for the Large Andiamo. For a recap of the sizes, the small handbag measures 25 cm by 20 cm, whereas the larger carryall comes in at 42 cm wide and 35 cm high.
