Default Bottega Veneta Nero Mineral Galuchat Knot


Last month we spent a day bringing you exclusives from Bottega Veneta. Hands down one of my favorite pieces from that day and ultimate favorite clutches ever is the Bottega Veneta Nero Galuchat Knot.

We covered the black version of this clutch and now we are equally obsessing over the cream version, color is called mineral. After spotting the Bottega Veneta Nero Mineral Galuchat Knot was spotted on Leighton Meester my level of love for this clutch catapulted into a realm that I can not put into words. Leighton’s look for the VMA’s was spot on.





She looked divine in a Christian Cota dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Cathy Waterman jewelry, and this Bottega Veneta knot clutch. In fact, Leighton should not only be on the best dressed list, but was a contender for the best dressed at the MTV Video Music Awards. To view our full review and gallery of Leighton Meester’s Bottega Veneta clutch check out Bag that Style HERE.

Every single aspect of this clutch is perfection. The process to create this clutch is meticulous and time consuming, but it creates a design that captivates anyone who sees it. For a reminder how the clutch is made, here is an excerpt from our first review:
The shell of this Knot clutch is completely covered in Galuchat, the skin of the stingray. Covering the shell of the Knot is particularly delicate and complex because Galuchat skin is not malleable. Bottega Veneta has created a new hammered workmanship for the frame. To do this, the rounded metal is manually worked with specific tools to obtain the hammered effect. Then the profile is further enhanced by a row of faceted studs applied on a small metal sheet, placed between the shell and the frame of the Knot. On the perimeter there are a total of 280 faceted studs. As if that was not ample work, the stingray skin shell is enriched by metal studs which mimic the cut and shape of faceted stones.

My preference is the Nero. I have seen it at my local boutique and if I were going to spring for a Knot, it would be this one. Timeless.

Absolutely GORGEOUS

but, I wonder what they mean galuchat is not malleable? It can't be stretched, yes, but it's not completely stiff and putting it on a cluthc shouldn't be too much trouble. lol

This clutch is amazing - I could totally see it with heels, jeans, and a white t-shirt. Add some great jewels and your on your way!

I agree. I don't understand the statement either, esp. as the owner of four stingray handbag accessory pieces. The skin is extremely hard and stiff, but on my trifold wallet, for example, the skin very easily bends backwards and forwards without restraint or extra wear and tear. I even play with my wallet sometimes where I would open my wallet wide and move the skin in an undulating way. Keyword: trifold!
