Bottega Veneta Cognac Leather Top Handle Bag — Late 1980s
Couldn't load pickup availability
A super rare, structured yet softly shaped top handle bag in supple cognac-grain leather with gold-tone hardware and the signature triangular turn-lock clasp. Inside, it’s lined in cream with a zip pocket and that old-school Bottega Veneta Made in Italy label. The silhouette sits somewhere between a ladylike frame bag and a functional day bag. Elegant, but lived-in.
Styling tip:
I love pairing warm tan leather with a cool base. Grey wool, denim, or black tailoring. It instantly brings depth to a minimal outfit and looks even better as the leather continues to age.
Era: Late 1980s
Material: Genuine leather exterior, gold-tone hardware
Color: Cognac brown
Condition: Good vintage condition with some wear. Light surface marks, and darker imprint on the back. Interior clean with light signs of age.
Details: Top handle with gold-tone hardware, flap closure with turn lock, internal zip pocket with branded tag
Why it made the cut:
There’s something about this one that feels truly timeless but so now at the same time. I love how it balances softness and structure and especially the slouchiness it got through age.
