Quiet Italian luxury.
Bottega Veneta
Eyewear at i2i Optometrists, Glasgow
Bottega Veneta was founded in 1966 in Vicenza, in the Veneto region of Italy, by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. It became known for its woven intrecciato leather and for a philosophy of discreet luxury summed up by the line 'when your own initials are enough'. Today the house is part of Kering, whose eyewear division develops and produces the frames.
The eyewear follows the same restraint: substantial Italian acetate, clean geometric fronts and small gold-tone details at the hinge in place of prominent logos. Square, aviator and cat-eye shapes recur, often in black, Havana and soft translucent colours. Proportions are generous but balanced, so frames sit comfortably without feeling heavy.
Bottega Veneta suits anyone who wants a luxury frame that feels confident rather than loud. Our dispensing team can help with fit and lens choice; call our Howard Street or Finnieston team to check current styles before visiting.
