The fashion house known for its woven leather goods has created its first wheeled luggage, merging travel function with Italian design elements. Named "Odyssey", the carry-on suitcase incorporates the brand's signature Intreccio pattern into a modern polycarbonate shell.
The shell features a 3D-embossed version of the house's leather weaving technique, typically seen on their handbags and accessories. Silver hardware accents complement the textured exterior, while calfskin leather appears on the handles and trim. A leather tag holder displays the owner's contact information.
For travelers focused on organization, the 38-liter interior includes separate compartments: one with a zipper, another with straps, and a removable divider containing a flat zippered pocket. The nylon lining offers protection for packed items. Security features include a TSA-approved lock system integrated into the zipper closure.
The suitcase measures 21.5 inches in height, 13.8 inches in width, and 8.3 inches in depth, with a total weight of 7 pounds. Made in Italy, it retails for $2,950. Pre-orders opened on December 24 through Bottega Veneta's website, with deliveries expected to begin February 24, 2025.
This release marks Bottega Veneta's entry into the premium luggage market, where established luxury brands have maintained a presence for decades. The pricing positions the Odyssey alongside high-end competitors like Rimowa and Louis Vuitton, whose carry-on options typically range from $2,500 to $4,000.
