Bottega Veneta to take customization on the road

On the tails of Chanel’s New York City bag exhibit and Gucci’s artisan world tour, Bottega Veneta has whipped up a little special-event parade of its own.

As many of our readers are well aware, Bottega has always offered customization services for its devoted clients – Women’s Wear Daily reports that the brand “has customized luggage to fit the hold of a client  private plane, created a handbag to match the color of her favorite lipstick, designed custom wedding dresses and produced leather wall paneling for a client home.”

In order to increase awareness of both those services and a few far more mundane ones, Bottega artisans are hitting the road (or, more accurately, the tarmac) to hold events for select clients in New York City, Beverly Hills and Costa Mesa that will allow customers to pick the size, shape, color, leather and finish of their new bags.

The New York City event is this Thursday through Saturday, with the Beverly Hills and Costa Mesa events following in July. If you’d like to attend one of these events (and if you do, take pictures and send them to us!), please contact your local Bottega Veneta boutique for dates and details.
