Bottega Veneta‘s two-story store in Milan, designed by Creative Director Matthieu Blazy, blends traditional Italian materials with a modernist sensibility, and honoring the brand’s commitment to innovative craft.

“There are different experiences of space in the store,” said Matthieu Blazy. “I wanted to express the idea of a domestic interior referring to Italian modernist architecture that contrasts with the aesthetic of a spaceship. And to capture the intimacy and the imagination of getting dressed.”

The Galleria store solidifies Bottega Veneta’s presence in Milan’s most desirable shopping areas, joining existing locations on Via Montenapoleone and Via Sant ’Andrea. The store will stock Bottega Veneta leather goods, shoes, and women’s ready-to-wear.

To celebrate the opening, Bottega Veneta will pre-launch three key looks from its Summer ’24 collection exclusively in the Galleria store: Kalimero Cha Cha and Città bags in signature Intrecciato, and the Cha Cha shoe. In addition, the store will open with a limited edition of five unique Kalimero Città bags in python, as well as 15 ceramic handle Sardine bags. Each Sardine is numbered with an interior brass plate.
