The Cassette defined the maxi-Intrecciato aesthetic that Bottega Veneta became known for under Daniel Lee — an exaggerated, oversized version of the classic weave applied to a neat rectangular crossbody. The padded version adds a dimensional, almost sculptural quality that makes the bag instantly recognisable from across a room. In black it is the most versatile of all Cassette colourways.
