“It does not matter whether it is talked about well or badly, the important thing is that it is talked about.” So wrote Oscar Wilde in his novel “The Picture of Dorian Grey.” The fashion world has taken these words literally. In fact, we know how much brands love to get the word out and create some chatter. We’ve seen it with Gucci’s ripped tights priced at € 140 and the “trash pouch” by Balenciaga, the bag that resembles a garbage bag at the modest price of € 1400.
Now it is the turn of Bottega Veneta, which has stirred up various controversies with its latest new entry, displayed in the last autumn winter 2023 fashion show. We are talking about the “brown bag” at first glance it might look like a very humble cardboard box but it is actually made of 100% calfskin leather. It still looks like a box… The bag is available in two versions, small and medium, worth €1500 and €2000 respectively. Quite expensive for a box…
What do you guys think?
