Bottega Veneta’s Corso arrives as totes continue to dominate the accessories conversation, but it refuses to pick a single mood. It’s soft where most totes are stiff, yet structured where slouchy silhouettes tend to go shapeless. That’s why it leads Bottega Veneta’s winter 2026 collection, which explores the push and pull between rigidity and ease.
That contrast shows up directly in the bag’s construction. A wide panel of Intrecciato, the house’s signature woven leather, anchors the front and back. Smooth leather runs along the sides, creating a visual seam. The weave brings depth, tactility and brand familiarity, while smooth leather adds clean lines. Rather than blending the two, Bottega Veneta lets each material make the other more legible.

In silhouette, the Corso leans into volume. It’s gently folded rather than boxed, giving it a relaxed, slouchy presence. Another thoughtful design choice sees the handle disappear into the body of the bag. Integrated directly into the suede-lined interior, it keeps the exterior uninterrupted. The result is less visual clutter and more focus on the voluminous shape and unmistakable Intrecciato weave.
True to the house’s usual approach, the tote comes in three sizes. The standard, large and maxi each retain the same proportions and character while scaling to fit different needs. Depending on which you choose, it functions as both an everyday carryall and a weekend wonder.
The Corso launches in Black, Bark Green and Deep Mahogany, colours that sit firmly within Bottega Veneta’s DNA. Prices range from SGD6200 for the Corso to SGD7550 for the Large Corso and SGD11,580 for the Maxi Corso. With its arrival, Bottega Veneta positions the Corso as a house staple alongside the Andiamo, Barbara and Campana.
