The Sardine made a splash during the F/W 2022 season of Milan Fashion Week, which was also Matthieu's maiden voyage with the brand. The tote's curved, modernist handle made it a standout in a sea of unassuming designs that adhered to stealth luxury codes. The carrier has an empty cavity sans any compartments and encloses via a magnetic clasp. Depending on the size you go for, it can come with a shoulder-length strap that allows it to be worn across the body. The sculptural metallic handle, undeniably the bag's piece de resistance, is molded by hand and intentionally marked with dents, making each product a one-of-one original.

First appearing in 2018, the Margaux Bag predates the current logo mania by a mile (it’s giving quiet luxury). Its understated elegance stems from the design duo Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who’ve built a fashion empire on the foundation of understated luxury. The Margaux Bag, with its clean lines, boxy silhouette, and deceptively spacious interior, is the ultimate “rich mom-on-the-go” bag, and that’s precisely why it’s become a cult favorite among celebrities, stylists, and, well, anyone with discerning taste.

Introduced in Matthieu Blazy’s Summer 23 collection, Andiamo is a new expression of the signature intrecciato technique, realized by the expert craftsmanship of Bottega Veneta’s atelier in Italy. Aptly named after the sensation of movement, the bag is as elegant as it is functional. Andiamo, meaning “Let’s go” in Italian, embodies the spirit of the bag, a tribute to ‘going places’. Andiamo’s soft tapered volume speaks to pragmatism and timelessness, designed by Creative Director Matthieu Blazy with his founding principle for Bottega Veneta: ‘craft in motion’.
