Bottega Veneta Marks 50 Years of Intrecciato With Harrods Pop-Up

Bottega Veneta has landed in Knightsbridge with a new pop-up at Harrods, marking half a century of its signature Intrecciato weave. More than just a retail experience, the space is designed as a showcase of artisanship, culture and modern Italian design, bringing the depth of the house’s craft into one of London’s most iconic settings.

The pop-up spans leather goods, jewellery, fragrance, shoes and ready-to-wear, but the spotlight is firmly on the weave that has defined Bottega Veneta for the past 50 years. Harrods’ own palette merges with the house’s unmistakable shade of green, while an exclusive capsule in emerald has been designed for the occasion. The offering is joined by the debut of Mezzanotte – a trio of fragrances built around deep, enveloping notes and precious woods, extending the house’s fragrance line into darker, more complex territory.

The space itself leans into the codes of Intrecciato with an interlocking system of furniture and fixtures in Italian walnut and concrete. This architectural direction nods both to the Veneto region’s modernist influences and to the practical workshop roots of Bottega Veneta itself. Soft furnishings are clad in leather woven in the same iconic pattern, reinforcing the house’s commitment to tactile craft.

At the centre sits La Tavola, a new architectural concept that acts as both centerpiece and storytelling tool. Inspired by the communal tables in Bottega’s ateliers, it functions as a display for small leather goods, jewellery and fragrances, while offering a dedicated area that allows visitors to explore the making of Intrecciato up close. Bespoke stationery and keepsakes have also been created exclusively for Harrods, gifted with purchases to underscore the sense of rarity and occasion.

The pop-up is framed by imagery from Craft is Our Language, Bottega Veneta’s campaign shot by British photographer Jack Davison. Centred on hand gestures, the campaign links the artisanal movements of weaving with the wider beauty of human expression, drawing inspiration from Italian artist and designer Bruno Munari and his handbook of Italian gestures. In doing so, the installation places Bottega’s celebrated weave not just as a house code, but as part of a living cultural language.

With London as the stage, the Harrods pop-up distills what Bottega Veneta has always done best: balancing discreet luxury with forward-looking craft. For menswear, it is an opportunity to engage with the house’s refined approach to leather, tailoring and accessories in a context that is immersive, tactile and deeply connected to heritage.
