Bottega Veneta has collaborated with a variety of small artisan workshops from across the world for the third year in a row. The 'Bottega fot Bottegas' project improves the know-how and creativity of businesses that frequently manufacture their items by hand. The project's inaugural edition included workshops from all throughout Italy. The second edition highlighted international businesses inspired by Italian culture. This year's four chosen workshops are experts in "unique" crafts. There are the Bangpae Yeons, which are historical Korean kites made from bamboo canes and a type of Korean paper known as hanji. Liu Wenhui, who is dedicated to learning about and safeguarding Chinese woodworking's intangible cultural legacy, specializes in studying, planning, and developing construction materials inspired by ancient Chinese architecture. Modiano is a famous Italian workshop founded in 1868 by Saul Modiano that specializes in the design and production of playing cards, tarot cards, and other paper items. Bottega Veneta cards are now available in a limited edition leather case. Cheng Tsung Feng, a Taiwanese artist, is dedicated to the study of ancient craft culture in order to learn the methods behind the handmade artifacts of the past. The website, newsletter, and windows of Bottega Veneta's main store in Milan will now pay tribute to these stores.
