Bottega Veneta gives the Strand Tote Bags a Leather Makeover

Bottega Veneta has collaborated with the infamous New York bookstore Strand for a leather take on their iconic book tote, even appointing their signature intrecciato motif for one of the three bags. With a campaign shot by the legendary Stephen Shore, the collaborative project prompted an intimate dinner during NYFW hosted by Bottega Veneta’s creative director Mathieu Blazy at the Strand bookstore itself. A series of cartoons were also commissioned by The New Yorker, known for their alluring animated characters, along with a curation of Blazy’s favourite books ranging from art to fashion to even architecture; available until 30th September.

Check out the campaign photos and cartoons below.
