Bottega Veneta created the Pouch clutch, one of Daniel Lee’s first major designs for the house.
Daniel Lee became Bottega Veneta’s creative director in 2018 and introduced the Pouch soon afterward. The soft, voluminous clutch has a gathered construction and can be carried by hand or tucked under the arm. Its minimal exterior places emphasis on shape and leather.
The Pouch became a prominent example of Bottega Veneta’s renewed accessories focus under Lee. It was made in smooth leather and other materials, with versions ranging from compact evening styles to larger everyday formats.
The Pouch should not be confused with Bottega Veneta’s Cabat, a woven leather tote. Both belong to the same Italian house, but the Pouch is defined by its soft gathered form, while the Cabat is identified by its basket-like intrecciato construction.
