Which Italian luxury brand is known for its 'Intrecciato' woven leather?

The Italian luxury brand known for its Intrecciato woven leather is Bottega Veneta.

Bottega Veneta developed Intrecciato as a signature leatherworking technique in which narrow strips of leather are woven through slits in another leather piece. The result is a flexible, durable surface with a distinctive basket-like pattern, used extensively in the brand’s handbags, wallets, shoes and accessories.

The house was founded in 1966 in Vicenza, in Italy’s Veneto region, by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. Its early reputation rested on artisanal leather goods and understated craftsmanship rather than prominent logos. Intrecciato became a visual shorthand for that approach: the material and construction identify the product even when branding is discreet.

Intrecciato is often mistaken for a general term for any woven leather. In everyday fashion writing it may be used broadly, but in luxury-brand trivia it specifically points to Bottega Veneta’s house technique and its many variations. Gucci, Prada and Fendi have their own leather signatures and are not the canonical answer here.
