Not only is Bottega Veneta master of the weave when it comes to RTW and bags, the Italian house is also expanding its woven home offerings. Cleverly unifying artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary design, its home collection elevates ordinary objects into works of art. Recent examples include hand-poured candles in handmade clay jars featuring coloured volcanic glaze.
Under the creative direction of Matthieu Blazy, the brand looks set to weave its way further into your heart with home objects featuring intreccio foulard leather. The signature weaving technique takes centrestage, injecting a dose of sophistication into everything from leather baskets to paperweights.

Take, for instance, the Intreccio Foulard Nest Bucket (SGD7100), a 40 cm by 29 cm woven leather bowl. Inspired by traditional wicker baskets, artisans create it by weaving calfskin leather around a internal metal structure. Another noteworthy piece are one-of-a-kind paperweights (SGD660) formed by weaving a single piece of leather around a 500g stone without any stitching.
If you’re looking to impress guests during the upcoming Christmas and Lunar New Year festivities, suggest a card game. Bottega Veneta’s playing cards (SGD1030) now come in a portable, pocket-size Intrecciato leather box containing two custom illustrated decks.
With the festive season fast approaching, there’s no time like the present to weave a dash of luxury into the home with Bottega Veneta’s updated home collection.
