colors and are timeless which means that can be worn for a long time and won't be affected by new market trends.
20. March product assortment
Our major product for the month will be the Bloc Boots since the weather in March is still cold and oranges are the trend of the moment. From
the selection above is the most basic item and it has a classic look to it which means it won't be directly affected with the new trends. The second
is our famous flat Padded Sandal that comes in multiple colors and still has that classic and modern look.
21. April product assortment
Having the BV Curve Sandals as our biggest bet for the month is due to the fact that is one of our bestsellers in the shoe section and it is an item
that has a very well known bottega look. It has also been a success with public figures during the Fashion Weeks in Europe.

For the second consecutive month we are having the BV Curve Sandal as the main item but this time with a twist and a metal detail. The item

our newest launch and it has a basic structure with the Bottega touch.
