A classic woven pattern design, Pied-de-poule has been used over and over again on fabrics for clothes, coats and shoes but when it comes to Bottega’s reincarnation, it is definitely on Nappa leather. After  last season’s forgettable or rather better-off-forgotten bags, Bottega is back to its roots of making bags with classic shapes with exciting yet classy details and this bag surely fits the bill.  At least, this is what the Pre-Fall collection looks like. The Double Zip Top Handle bag has a classic shape that would qualify as a keeper and the woven leather version with Pied-de-poule pattern is available at USD2,700 online. If you like the bag but the pattern is not for you, get the one in full Python for USD3,400. In my opinion, both prices are great for Bottega bags. Is Bottega reducing its prices to keep up with challenging times like this?
