It’s been big changes all around considering that Daniel Lee took over the creative reigns at Bottega Veneta, and for Pre-Fall 2020, one of Lee’s newest cult favorite bags got a big makeover. While we first identified this updated design last January when we introduced the brand’s Pre-Fall 2020 collection, today we’re taking a second look at this new design, which is sure to be a highly desired hit. Introducing: The Chain Casette.
New for Pre-Fall, the Chain Casette takes the body of the original Padded Cassette Bag and adds a show stopping chunky chain strap. true to his aesthetic, Lee has taken a classic handbag element—the chain strap—and exaggerated its proportions to add a distinct and ultra-cool detail to an already beloved bag.
Available in a rainbow of colors from bright green and crimson red to neutrals like white and black, The Chain Casette is crafted from shiny Nappa padded leather strips, which are interlaced to create an oversized weave. While the leather version uses a lot more adaptability in that the strap is adjustable, the chain iteration is said to work as a crossbody bag with a strap that isn’t adjustable. A smaller chain detail hangs off the front of the bag so that a hand can be tucked through, allowing the bag to be carried as a hold with the strap functioning as a detail. It’s worth noting that while the original Casette is exceptionally lightweight and easy to carry, the new chain detail will likely add to the bag’s overall weight.
Aside from its chain, this Casette is not all that different from the original, using an internal zip pocket as well as a magnetic closure. view a lot more details by means of our post on the Bottega Veneta Padded Casette here. While the original Padded Cassette retails for $2,800, The Chain Casette is now available for Pre-Order by means of Bottega Veneta for $3,800.
