Bottega Veneta's latest carrier is basically a bougie brown paper bag

We’ve seen luxury bags inspired by trash bags, courtesy of Balenciaga. Now, Italian luxury fashion brand Bottega Veneta has too created quite a stir in the fashion industry because of its familiar looks. Created under the unique vision of its creative director Matthieu Blazy, the carrier resembles a brown paper bag — its highlight being the simple design and material.

The chic brown bag has a starting price of S$2,730 and while has been cleverly fashioned out of plush leather.

The Italian label has created the brown bag in two sizes. The smaller one is priced at S$2,730 for small, and the medium, at $3,650. The website describes it as a "small paper-like leather shopping bag."

Until one peeks inside, it's almost impossible to know that the handbag is made of 100 per cent calfskin. The kraft-coloured bags come with a single compartment and are lined with suede. The drop handles of the two sizes measure 9 cm and 12 cm, and both resemble paper handles attached to low-cost brown paper bags.

Additionally, this isn't the first time Blazy has delivered such a unique product. The creative director has to his credit an exclusive line of leather-that-doesn't-look-like-leather products. Some highlights of the line include calfskin socks, jeans, t-shirts and cotton-looking tanks that are nothing but pure leather.

From simple handbags and shoulder bags to luxury tote bags, Bottega Veneta has been manufacturing both chic and innovative leather masterpieces for a long time.

According to the luxury brand's official website, they have been delivering quality and sustainable products that have lasted generations since 1966, and the new brown bag is a testament to their creative legacy.
