I wondered if there's much interest in non-Bottega Venetta woven leather alternatives? Over the years, the best quality I found (not BV) is at Winners (TJ Maxx in Canada) and made in Italy: Falor Italia. They are typically unlined like BV Cabat. I have only ever purchase one but returned for refund because these are still $599 + but if I could...I would buy several and keep them all
Quality is outstanding on Falor Italia - the hardware or magnets, stitching etc are all solid and top notch. Other brands that come to mind for woven leather is: Christopher Kon and Cole Haan Heritage Weave collection.
Here are some pics from new stock as of today (all Falor Italia):
