Because Bottega Veneta firmly believes in creating equally exciting designs for both men and women, Matthieu Blazy and his design team introduce two distinct bag styles crafted in foulard intreccio leather. The ladies get the Kalimero and spin-offs like the Kalimero Città, while the Rumple Messenger is just for the men.
While heading to Milan for the spring-summer 2025 show, K-pop singer and dancer I.N (Yang Jeongin) of Stray Kids completed a full Bottega Veneta look with the new bag. By his side, the mustard green interwoven calfskin messenger was a striking pop of colour against his black ensemble.
The Rumple Messenger measures 30 cm wide by 23 cm high. There’s also a smaller version that comes in at a petite 21 cm wide and 14 cm high. Either way, the bag opens via a magnetic closure to an unlined interior for daily essentials. While the accompanying leather strap is not removable, it is adjustable to approximately eight different lengths.
Can’t wait to channel your inner I.N with this latest number from Bottega Veneta? In Singapore, the foulard intreccio leather versions of the Small Rumple Messenger start at SGD4930, while the Rumple Messenger goes up to SGD5960.
