Bottega Veneta, when your initials are not enough...

Bottega Veneta, the luxury top leathergoods brand designed by Tomas Maier, is also spreading the word about its customization process in the US, where the custom initiative was launched.
Italian representatives who oversee the brand's atelier in Vicenza, Italy, have travelled from Chicago to NY till reaching California to personally offer clients the opportunity to customize a Bottega Veneta bag of their choice - choose the color, skin and treatment of their Bottega bag. In keeping with the mantra of "When Your Own Initials Are Enough," shoppers can create anything from an $800 wallet or $14,500 crocodile portfolio to the brand's most painstakingly-produced $80,000 handbag, all taking between three and six months to craft.
