Bottega Veneta's SS23 Trompe-l'œil Leather Looks Update Your Wardrobe Essentials

Leather to Bottega Veneta is what butter is to bread, and to showcase its talents, the luxury House has just dropped Matthieu Blazy‘s latest trompe-l’œil masterpieces.

Crafting a full outfit from either calfskin or lamb skin leather, Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2023 leather items are designed to elevate those staples that we all have in our wardrobes.

Kicking off the seasonal drop, we find the much-talked-about printed leather trousers that are designed to look like a pair of wide-leg denim jeans. Priced at $7,000 USD, the jeans are served up in “Light Blue” and feature all the signatures of a pair of denim, like a five-pocket design, a metal waist-fastening button, and contrast orange stitching — of course creating V-shapes on the pockets.

For $6,900 USD, Bottega Veneta also offers up its take on a “Light Blue/White” pinstriped shirt. The printed Nappa leather number is unlined and features all the standard cues as you’d expect, as does the “Light Grey Melange” printed leather T-shirt that’s boxy in cut and priced at $5,200 USD.

Coming in to round off your full leather fit is the $6,800 USD “Camel/Grey/Blue” argyle-style v-neck jumper. As Bottega Veneta shows in its styling, the leather is so fine and malleable that it can even be tied around the neck, full Ivy League style.
