Why it's worth it
Bottega's weave, minus the logo tax.
The Edit
Wide-strip intrecciato weaving — each leather band noticeably broader than the classic version — gives this boxy baguette its graphic, almost architectural surface. The rectangular silhouette sits flat against the body on a single plain leather strap, while a magnetic-snap flap closure keeps the front face uninterrupted. Lined in cotton, with 100% bovine leather certified by the Leather Working Group.
