Tote bags — or, as Tom from “Succession” would call them, “ludicrously capacious” bags — are continuing to steal the spotlight this year, and Bottega Veneta’s new addition to its Andiamo family has already become the must-have bag of the summer. Unveiled in a new slouchy silhouette made from a leather and canvas mix, the style perfectly embodies the Bottega Veneta brand and made its debut in the label’s Summer 2024 campaign, starring Lie Wen.

Following its introduction in Bottega Veneta’s SS23 collection, the Andiamo line quickly gained cult status among shoppers, gaining recognition as the ‘It’ bag of the season after being spotted on the shoulders of several influential style icons — from Hailey Bieber to Rosie Huntington Whiteley — and being hailed as her “go-to favourite bag of all time” by Kylie Jenner. With its androgynous design, the bag also secured a coveted spot in Jacob Elordi’s ever-growing collection of covetable handbags, and as more and more fashion shoppers look to invest in pieces that will stand the test of time, searches for the Andiamo are up 62% on Lyst.

Synonymous with the quiet luxury aesthetic that has dominated the handbag category over the past few seasons, the Andiamo comes in a timeless silhouette of hand-woven Intrecciato, a style steeped in history and exclusive to Bottega Veneta. A tribute to moving forward and creative director Matthieu Blazy’s concept of “craft in motion”, the new iteration of the Andiamo — which means “Let’s go” in Italian — is available in two sizes, as well as in a backpack format.
