But here’s the thing, and this is just my opinion, okay? Bottega, they’ve got something *different*. Something… like, extra hand-made-y? I saw this thing about a bag, this Cabat, designed by Maier. It was kinda the first bag to actually have a *name*, which I guess is a big deal in the Bottega world. And it’s just… woven. Like, meticulously, painstakingly woven by a single artisan. Can you imagine? One person, sitting there, weaving an entire handbag. My back hurts just thinking about it.
And you know, that’s the point, right? That’s the whole *vibe* of Bottega Veneta. It’s not just about slapping a logo on some mass-produced leather. It’s about the *artisanship*. That’s why they’re so damn expensive! It’s about the human touch, you know? That “ever-so-slightly” different construction that comes from having one pair of hands work on the whole damn thing. I mean, that’s kinda cool, isn’t it?
I even saw a video of this woman, she got a mini Tosca bag, and her husband was reacting to it. Hilarious! You could just *feel* the “oh my god, how much did you spend?!” vibes. But even he had to admit it looked pretty good. And you know, you can’t replicate that kind of quality with a machine. Not really.
