Key Points

04A high price does not prove higher quality, so compare leather, stitching and fit.

Bottega Veneta is an Italian fashion house known for leather goods woven in its Intrecciato pattern and for clothes and accessories that carry little or no visible logo.

According to its owner, Kering, the house was founded in Vicenza in 1966 by Renzo Zengiaro and Michele Taddei, introduced the Intrecciato weave in 1975 and joined Kering in 2001.

Its early tagline, “When your own initials are enough”, sums up the low-key approach the brand is still known for.

Louise Trotter has been creative director since January 2025 and showed her first collection for the house in September 2025.

This guide lists the men we found wearing or working with Bottega Veneta in dated reports, and shows how to wear similar looks with clothes from any maker.

A Note on Celebrity Brand Claims

Celebrity outfits are often credited to a brand online without any confirmation from the brand, the wearer or a stylist.

We name a man here only where we found a dated report linking him to Bottega Veneta, and we cite it.

We also leave out guesses about why a man dresses as he does, and we never link a person’s health or build to his clothes.

1. Timothée Chalamet in Knitwear and Leather Trousers

W Magazine and Esquire Singapore reported that Chalamet wore Bottega Veneta at two photocalls for Dune: Part Two in February 2024.

In Paris on 12 February 2024 he wore a black turtleneck and leather trousers from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection.

In London on 14 February 2024 he wore a textured wool jumper with chocolate brown leather trousers and the brand’s Ripley boots, and Esquire Singapore noted that the jumper came from the women’s collection.

Both outfits pair a knit with leather trousers in one or two colours, which looks dressed up without a jacket or tie.

Wear a black or brown fine-knit roll-neck jumper, straight dark leather or waxed-cotton trousers, and chunky leather Chelsea or lace-up boots, with a dark wool overcoat in winter.

2. Jacob Elordi, Global Ambassador

Hypebae reported on 23 May 2024 that Bottega Veneta had named the actor Jacob Elordi a global ambassador, noting that he had already worn the brand on red carpets.

The announcement did not list particular garments, so we do not attach a specific outfit to him.

The brand’s bags and small leather goods are its best-known products, and a plain leather bag is an easy way to add the look to everyday clothes.

Wear a white or ecru T-shirt, a brown suede or leather jacket, loose straight-leg jeans, brown leather loafers and a soft woven-leather or plain leather holdall.

3. Daniel Kaluuya in a Double-Breasted Suit for the Oscars

MR PORTER’s Journal reported that Daniel Kaluuya wore a black double-breasted Bottega Veneta suit at the Academy Awards in April 2021, pointing out its wide lapels.

A double-breasted suit with wide lapels gives a strong shoulder line and works for formal evenings when a dinner suit is not required.

For when each level of dress is expected, see our guide to formal attire dress codes.

Wear a black or midnight navy double-breasted suit, a black or white shirt, either no tie or a black silk tie, and black leather Oxford shoes.

4. Tyler, the Creator and the “Craft Is Our Language” Campaign

Complex reported on 29 May 2025 that Tyler, the Creator appeared in Bottega Veneta’s “Craft Is Our Language” campaign, photographed and directed by Jack Davison to mark 50 years of the Intrecciato weave.

The report names other men in the campaign, among them the musician Jack Antonoff, the film director Dario Argento, the actor Troy Kotsur, the tennis player Lorenzo Musetti and the conductor Lorenzo Viotti.

Complex’s campaign image shows Tyler in a suit with sunglasses and a bag; the garments are not named, so we do not name them either.

Wear a relaxed single-breasted suit in brown or olive, a cream knitted polo shirt, brown leather loafers and a woven-leather or plain leather bag.

How to Wear the Bottega Veneta Look

The house’s clothes and accessories share a few habits that you can copy with clothes from any maker.

Let leather do the work. A good leather bag, belt or pair of boots carries an outfit without logos or loud patterns.

Mix knitwear and leather. A fine roll-neck or textured jumper with leather trousers or a leather jacket looks finished without a shirt and tie.

Keep to a short palette. Black, brown, cream and one deep colour such as green or burgundy are easy to combine.

Choose shape over decoration, since wide lapels, chunky soles and relaxed trousers give interest without prints.

Check fit first, because leather trousers and boxy jackets need the right length and shoulder fit to look intended rather than oversized.

This understated, logo-free approach overlaps with the idea of quiet luxury and with our old money style guide, without either label being required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is Intrecciato?

Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s woven leather technique, in which strips of leather are interlaced into a pattern; Kering dates it to 1975.

Q. Does Bottega Veneta make menswear?

Yes, the house shows clothing, shoes and accessories for men as well as its leather goods.

Q. Is Bottega Veneta worth the price?

That depends on how often you will use a bag or garment and how well it fits you.
