Bottega Veneta Stingray Wallets for Spring/Summer 2011.

Not exactly new-new as many of the things we write about here are, this has been available for some 6 months now, still, it is relatively newish, and was released for this season anyway.  Bottega Veneta have decided to take those woefully unattractive stingray type wallets, that one often finds on sale in holiday resorts, and a certain type of person who wants to look like they have 'travelled' buys, and given them the sheen of sleek understated luxury that only Bottega can.

Rather than go the standard stingray wallet route, Veneta have opted for a self coloured backbone and skin, with a luxurious supple calf interior, making this more reminiscent of the elegant galuchat found on 19th century French furniture, than a simple vulgar stingray coated item.

As is standard with Bottega Veneta, all materials used are sourced from the very best quality and most reliable suppliers in their given field, making this little item one to cherish for years to come.  Available in Green, and Grey Stingray, with matching interior in the green, and contrasting navy leather in grey, it is priced at £310, and can be found at any Bottega Veneta Store, Worldwide, or can be purchased on-line.
