Bottega Veneta opened its
Ion store with a retrospective of its
Knot clutches
The Knot: A Retrospective, a travelling exhibition featuring 50 versions of this renowned handbag on the occasion of its 30th anniversary.
For Creative Director
Tomas Maier, one of the biggest challenges in organizing the retrospective was finding examples from the 1980s and ‘90s. “The company never kept an archive, so to reconstruct the history of the Knot we had to search in vintage stores and private collections, " he said.
When Mr Maier took the reins as Creative Director in 2001, he recognized the special quality of the company’s small, rounded box clutch. He created a new closure in the shape of a small leather knot and gave the bag its name. Since then, versions of the Knot have been featured in every Bottega Veneta collection.
Many styles of the Knot are limited in availability, with editions ranging from 100 to as little as 25.
