A defining design from Daniel Lee’s celebrated Bottega Veneta era, this Medium Mount Envelope Bag pairs minimalist Italian craftsmanship with dramatic gold-tone hardware. Its structured black calfskin silhouette is shaped by a sharply pointed V flap—a subtle geometric reference to the “V” in Veneta—and finished with an oversized, permanently attached chain handle.
The Mount was introduced in Bottega Veneta’s Pre-Fall 2021 Wardrobe 02 collection. During his tenure as creative director from 2018 to 2021, British designer Daniel Lee transformed the house’s quiet-luxury heritage into the influential aesthetic often called “New Bottega.” His cult accessories—including the Pouch, Cassette, Jodie, Point, and Mount—became recognizable through sculptural forms, exaggerated proportions, strong colors, and statement hardware rather than traditional exterior logos.
The substantial fixed chain allows the bag to be carried by hand, while the adjustable and detachable leather strap provides comfortable shoulder or crossbody styling. A concealed tab-slot closure opens to a tonal lambskin-lined interior divided into two compartments with a flat pocket for smaller essentials.
Distinctive yet refined, the Mount captures the balance of restrained luxury and bold modernity that made Daniel Lee’s Bottega Veneta collections so collectible.
DESIGNER AND COLLECTION
Daniel Lee joined Bottega Veneta as creative director in July 2018 after serving as director of ready-to-wear design at Céline. He brought a fresh sense of modernity to the Italian house while maintaining its emphasis on exceptional materials, craftsmanship, and discreet branding.
The Medium Mount Envelope Bag was introduced for the Pre-Fall 2021 Wardrobe 02 collection. Its clean envelope construction, V-shaped flap, triangular hardware, and exaggerated chain reflect several recurring signatures of Lee’s work for the house.
Lee departed Bottega Veneta in November 2021, making pieces from his brief but highly influential tenure especially appealing to collectors of contemporary designer fashion.
CONDITION
Very good pre-owned condition.
The black calfskin leather remains smooth, structured, and well preserved. Light surface scratches, faint scuffing, subtle impressions, and gentle creasing are present. Several faint marks and impressions can be seen on the back of the bag.
The permanently attached gold-tone chain handle and additional hardware retain a bright finish with light hairline scratches from normal use. The adjustable leather strap displays minor creasing. The corners and edges show minimal wear.
The black lambskin interior has light lint, dust, gentle creasing, and faint handling marks but remains clean overall.
Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
