On September 24, 2022, during Milan Fashion Week, former creative director Matthieu Blazy presented his S/S 23 collection for Bottega Veneta and opened the show with two casual trouser looks, each paired with the Andiamo bag. This top-handle bag, with its signature Intrecciato leather and knot detail on the sliding crossbody or shoulder strap, caught the attention of the style set. Still, no one could have predicted the impact it would have on the industry. Four years later, it has solidified itself as an It style, alongside bags like The Row Margaux.
While the Large Andiamo was the original runway piece, its massive success has prompted Bottega Veneta to expand the line into a full family of styles. This includes the Small Andiamo, Andiamo Bucket, Andiamo Pouch on Strap, East-West Andiamo, Andiamo Phone Pouch, and Andiamo Backpack. The latest addition to the collection is the Mini Andiamo, a scaled-down version of the original (1.9 inches smaller than the Small Andiamo) but with the same luxurious, coveted design.
The Mini Andiamo, which launched last month, is already a favorite among chic dressers in NYC and L.A.—and for good reason. Its Italian name, “Andiamo,” meaning “Let’s go,” perfectly captures the bag’s versatile and effortless spirit. The compact size and adjustable braided chain strap make it a perfect day-to-night style. Plus, the logoless design and high-quality construction can elevate any ensemble.
