Luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta presents the latest Hop bag, which is defined by its Intrecciato weave and slouched silhouette. It is inspired by the house's own hobo bag that was first seen in 2002 with a versatile theme and celebration of the house's archival past.
The relaxed shape of the bag can be worn in a plethora of ways including by the hand, over the shoulder, and on the arm. It takes two nights to create the Hop bag as each one is made by one expert artisan. When the shell of the bag has been constructed, it is then carefully lined with a Light Calf tone complete with an internal zippered pocket. Rounding out the look is an overlap closure of two woven leather panels with a magnetic detail. It comes in six tones: "black, oyster (lilac), fondant (dark brown), camomille (pale yellow), siren (bright teal), and a crisp white."
