Bottega Veneta’s Ciao Ciao returns in a charming new size for pre-fall 2025. In a thoughtful reinterpretation, the Small Ciao Ciao is a nod to how modern women engage with their everyday essentials. This compact version carries all the elegance of the original, just in a scaled-down silhouette.
True to the house’s identity, the bag features signature details like the Intrecciato interior pocket and distinctive gold-tone knot. The very name, Italian for both “hello” and “goodbye”, is a stroke of linguistic ingenuity, a simple duality that speaks volumes about the beauty of connection.
The original debuted last season with a soft, fluid structure and technical features that allow for adaptive wear. The new Small Ciao Ciao retains those transformative qualities in the coaxial strap and discreet hook closure. However, the front flap is significantly smaller, yet offers the same dual functionality. Fasten it at the front for a sleek profile or attach it to the interior Intrecciato pocket for a more relaxed, open look.
Compact yet practical, the bag measures 26 cm wide and 19 cm high. Its roomy interior easily accommodates daily must-haves, such as notebook, mobile phone, beauty items, and even a snack or two. In silky calf leather, the bag comes in classic Black, rich Fondant, as well as a seasonal Limestone with soft beige-grey undertones.
Priced at SGD6840, Bottega Veneta’s Small Ciao Ciao joins its medium and large siblings, offering a size for every style and occasion.
