There’s a simple way of knowing if something has truly attained It-status within fashion circles: it will be everywhere. While Hermes Birkins and Prada nylon bags continue to be enduring classics people love even decades later, there may be a new bag joining their ranks. Meet Bottega Veneta’s Jodie Bag. When creative director Daniel Lee transformed the core aesthetic of the house in 2019, he also brought in a new lineup of bold accessories. While several of them have gone on to be sell-out hits (including these mesh heels and clunky rubber boots), arguably the most in-demand piece has been the brand’s intrecciato leather hobo bag, The Jodie.
Since its arrival in early 2020, the bag has become a fixture in almost every paparazzi shot or Instagram image that has graced my computer. The bag itself merges Daniel Lee’s modern point of view with the heritage craftsmanship of Bottega Veneta’s famed intrecciato leather, so it feels right in line with today’s trends while still being timeless. From its sumptuous leather to the minimal yet modern shape, it’s not difficult to get why the bag has a growing legion of fans. To give you the full scope of just how everywhere this bag is, I’ve picked out how the fashion set has worn it in the wild. If you’re thinking about splurging on this new classic, I have all the places where you can buy it too—just keep scrolling.
