You’re familiar with bags like the Andiamo and Hop, but how well do you know Bottega Veneta’s collection of clutches? One of the key styles is the Lauren 1980. A bag to behold, caress and connect with, the padded intrecciato clutch returns in refreshing spring-summer 2025 hues, reaffirming its position as a go-to at the Italian fashion house.
Taking inspiration from the brand’s storied archives, the timeless style is reimagined for modern tastes. A curved top frame imparts definition around elegant folds and contours for a minimalist yet refined look. And of course, the hand-woven leather strips give it a sensorial touch beyond mere visual appreciation.
The padded intrecciato leather clutch opens via a magnetic closure to reveal a lambskin-lined interior that’s equally lush inside and out. In a refreshing burst of colour, the Small Lauren 1980 comes in Matcha Green. Whereas the Medium Lauren 1980 dons Sapele, a new woody-brown hue.
Catering to both formal occasions and daily routines, either size seamlessly transitions from day to night. Whether you go for the small (27 cm by 15 cm) or medium (31 cm by 16 cm), both now come with a tubular leather braided chain. Simply tuck this element inside to switch from shoulder bag to handheld clutch in a heartbeat.
With prices starting from SGD5590 and SGD5950 for the small and medium sizes respectively, Bottega Veneta’s Lauren 1980 is available at local boutiques in Marina Bay Sands, Paragon and Takashimaya Department Store.
