Kering Eyewear introduces the Bottega Veneta eyewear collection. Designed for both men and women, the collection blends form and function with details from distinctive seasonal runway looks and the brand’s iconic themes. The entire collection highlights Bottega Veneta’s brand aesthetic with understated elegance and distinguished by its signature intrecciato weave, which is laser-engraved on the nosepads. Leading the introduction are the Cylindrical Intrecciato and Micro Intrecciato collections, all driven by the vision of creative director Tomas Maier. The Cylindrical Intrecciato features CatEye shapes in acetate and metal that are distinguished by a cylindrical woven monel detail. The Micro Intrecciato collection consists of feminine and precious styles with additional CatEye acetates, titanium aviators and slim rectangular optical frames that include design details such as Micro Intrecciato leather inserts on the temples and hand-set metal rivets. The color palette of the collection includes matte or semi-matte finishes in multiple shades such as Havana, Tuscan brown, light gray, dark espresso and navy with pops of red and burnished metals. Each frame is handcrafted in Italy and Japan, providing a cutting-edge aesthetic with comfort and durability.
