In the 1970s, several years after its establishment in 1966 in Vicenza, Italy, Bottega Veneta began advertising with the slogan, “When your own initials are enough”. Back then, this tagline served to highlight Bottega Veneta’s quiet, logo-free brand of luxury – and, perhaps, also the celebrity of its clients such as style icon Jackie O.
However, since 2012, this slogan has taken on literal significance, with the launch of Bottega Veneta’s personalisation service, which enables customers to have a selection of leather goods embossed with their initials. Choose from complimentary embossing or stamping with shadow-graphic letters. For an additional charge, opt for crocodile or calf-leather letters that will be stitched onto your item. Such services have become almost a given among luxury brands these days, with companies such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Prada offering similar personalisation services.
