Bottega Veneta Edit - May 2025

Each post is a living list of finds I fancy throughout the month. I’ll keep updating it as I go, so feel free to drop by anytime for a little inspiration—or distraction.

Let’s jump into this month’s list, shall we? Click on the image to be redirected to the product page. P/s: I’m not responsible if you decide to spend your money on any of these, but if you do, know this: I envy you.

Wallets

There is a very special place for SLGs (Small Leather Goods) in my heart and budget. So much so, that for the last 10 years, I’ve amassed probably way over 50+ card holders and wallets from Zara to Hermes to, well, Bottega. I’m pleased to share that I’ve been keeping my SLG collection smaller these days as I have finally found the styles that I gravitate most to. Plus, it doesn’t make sense for me to own so many when everything is getting digitalised already.

That being said, there are new pieces that I stumble upon now and then that I just can’t resist acquiring, so they will somehow end up in my collection.

Why am I so addicted to SLGs? I do not know. Perhaps they’re a great introduction to a brand, or perhaps they are a piece of art, or perhaps I just don’t have better hobbies. Regardless, I hope you’ll enjoy The Edit as much as I enjoy putting them together.

Remember, they’re only worth it if you wake up in the middle of the night to check out.

To start off, I’m very pleased the Andiamo wallet family has quietly grown to include more styles. I’m especially drawn to the ones with the knot lock—a beautiful little inconvenience that requires you to undo it every time you reach for a card. But maybe that’s the point. A gentle reminder to pause… and not spend so much.

I may or may not have been the reason the Diago Card Case is now out of stock.

 

Bags

If it’s not obvious by now, I’m living for the Andiamo series. The large ones are perfect for everyday use and to elevate any outfit. The Andiamo Voyager is at the top of my wishlist and it made me think: is this better than a Birkin? Lastly, for cafe dates and exploring a new city, the Small Andiamo Messenger is just perfectly splendid.

Shoes

Step into style with these. The Orbit Sneaker is one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn. I’m currently eyeing the Daddy Loafer and the Astaire Loafer as my next acquisitions. Something about the name…

That’s all for this session folks, come back here at the end of the month so we can close May with more scrumptious finds. Till then.
