Bottega Veneta Crafts the Classic Grocery Bag in Leather
Fashion’s craze with the mundane surfaces yet again.
In contemporary times, fashion has had an obsession with elevating the mundane from bedazzled plastic-inspired shopping bags to trash bag pouches. Now Bottega Veneta is adding to the craze with its new Brown Bag, which updates the classic grocery store carrier.
Almost a near copy of the standard brown paper grocery bag, the main difference is that Bottega Veneta’s version appears in 100% calfskin leather. Coming in medium and small sizes, the bag even features subtle variations that reveal a paper-like effect. Crafted in Italy, the single-compartment bag also features a leather lining and wrapped handles.
The medium version retails for $2,500 USD, while the small version goes for $1,900 USD. Check out the bags in the gallery above, which are available now online.
