Luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta introduces its new Brown Paper bag design which is ironically made from luxurious materials. Although it appears to be a simple grocery bag, it is not made from paper, the bag is constructed from 100% calfskin leather material for a durable look that has longevity.
The inspiration drawn from a grocery store remains present as the paper-like look is seen throughout the exterior for a unique texture. The interior is lined with premium suede materials for a soft and sophisticated feel. The handles are also staggered to replicate the look of a classic paper bag. It comes in a large and medium versions, sitting at the price of $1,900 and $2,500 respectively.
