PHOTO COURTESY OF BOTTEGA VENETA
With its signature knot detail, supple leather and easy-to-use silhouette, it’s not surprising that Bottega Veneta’s Andiamo quickly became a cult favourite. Understated and devoid of logos, the style further expanded to include east-west styles, messengers and now, the Andiamo Backpack.
In recent collections, the backpack quietly emerged as a versatile and sophisticated option for the modern man. Measuring 50 cm by 40 cm, this rework by Matthieu Blazy is parked under the men’s collection. Besides essentials, its spacious interior will comfortably accommodate a laptop and more.
The Andiamo Backpack’s clean lines and minimalist aesthetic goes well with jeans and a tee for that relaxed look. Crafted in a mix of weathered leather and vintage canvas, it’s the ideal companion for globetrotting adventurers.
It speaks of a life well-lived, simultaneously waiting to witness stories waiting to unfold. Each scuff and mark eventually becomes a testament to adventures undertaken, while the leather develops a patina that’s uniquely yours. You can either sling it over the shoulder via the single leather strap or hold the fixed top handle in hand.
The Andiamo Backpack transcends trends, offering a touch of understated fashion to those who appreciate the finer things in life. In vintage brown leather, dark red canvas and silver-tone knot hardware, it’s available for pre-orders online at SGD12,620.
