Bottega Veneta Celebrates New Boutique in Taipei
By William Stolerman
Bottega Veneta has opened a new boutique in Taipei and celebrated the occasion by designing a limited edition Knot handbag. Located in the Bellavita mall, the store spans 3,200-square feet and offers a broad range of Bottega Veneta products, including mens and womens ready-to-wear, small leather goods, handbags, luggage, fine jewelry, porcelain and furniture.
Marco Bizzarri, the President and CEO of Bottega Veneta, said: The new Bottega Veneta store at the Bellavita enhances our ability to provide customers in Taipei with optimal service and an exceptional retail experience. Every aspect of the boutique has been hand-made and to celebrate the opening, Bottega Veneta has created a limited edition Knot handbag. Each one will be numbered and bear the inscription Taipei 2010.
The Knot is a Bottega Veneta signature, says Creative Director Tomas Maier. The opening of the new store in Bellavita provides us an opportunity to celebrate the sophistication and energy of Taipei with a special Knot inspired by the city.
The patchwork surface of the bag comprises 25 separate pieces of leather, and sports shades of yolk, cigar, and truffle. Available in an edition of 50, the Taipei Knot will be sold solely through the Bellavita store.
