Bottega Veneta

On June 19, Bottega Veneta received the UNHCR “Welcome – Working for Refugee Integration” Award for the second consecutive year, with our CPO Nicole Lonca and HR team present to accept the honor. This award recognizes companies that excel in collaborating with and promoting refugee integration and employability in Italy. Since 2020, Bottega Veneta has been working with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to provide employment opportunities to refugees of various nationalities at our production sites across the Veneto region. Among them is Malick, who left Senegal in 2017. Today, after attending the Accademia Labor et Ingenium, he is part of our Dueville production team. #BOTTEGAVENETA

This summer, Bottega Veneta hosted the I&D Via Arts Edition worldwide, offering a series of experiences curated by our I&D Global Committee.

At Bottega Veneta, we champion diversity by curating experiences that foster cultural awareness through the power of art, a catalyst for connecting people on an emotional level and driving inclusion. #BOTTEGAVENETA

Bottega Veneta ANNOUNCES JACOB ELORDI AS BRAND AMBASSADOR #BOTTEGAVENETA

''Labor et ingenium, craftsmanship and creativity - Bottega Veneta is very much about these founding principles, further weaving the dialogue between the two.” In a conversation with Jo Ellison at the Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit in Venice yesterday, Bottega Veneta CEO Bartolomeo Rongone highlighted the brand’s DNA, vision and new projects. “The very idea of transmission and of passing down our know-how is not only a need, but a true mission, key for our future.” During the live interview, Bartolomeo Rongone announced the opening of a new space for the brand in Venice, housed in the 15th-century Gothic Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel, in the Cannaregio district. Curated by Creative Director Matthieu Blazy, the new space is both a homage to the brand's roots and the introduction of a comprehensive new program of VIC experiences, services, hospitality, and cultural engagements. This allows it to offer its most valued customers an intimate setting for cultural advocacy, while also serving as an expression of the brand’s rich history and values. #BOTTEGAVENETA

BOTTEGA VENETA LAUNCHES CANDLE COLLECTION Bottega Veneta launches a new collection of scented candles. Handmade and hand-poured in Italy, each candle combines three essential ingredients to create a distinct and evocative scent. In a nod to the house’s Venetian origins, each candle is encased in a clay jar with a colored volcanic glaze that evokes both the aquatic environment of Venice and the opulent marble of its architecture. Each glaze finish is one-of-a-kind. With a jar glaze in lush green, the Raintree candle blends mellow fig, aromatic thyme, and lavender absolute to create a soft, verdant scent brimming with summer promise and Mediterranean warmth. With a bold yellow jar glaze, Lantern combines incense, suede rose, and vetiver into a spicy, sophisticated blend with a sensual texture and smooth, suede-like ambience. In a vivid red jar glaze, Edstone blends plum nectar, tobacco, and cedarwood into a rich, leathery scent, with sweet amber notes over a comforting, earthy depth. The candle jar is designed to be repurposed, readily usable as a storage pot, vase, or display item once the candle is burned. #BOTTEGAVENETA
