The History of the Bottega Veneta BV1032O
Bottega Veneta was founded in Vicenza, Italy, in 1966. The brand is known for its Italian craftsmanship and an understated approach to branding that isn’t as in-your-face as some designer labels.
The brand’s eyewear is now manufactured through Kering Eyewear, the same company that manages Gucci, Cartier, Saint Laurent, and Balenciaga’s eyewear.
The BV1032O arrived in 2020 as part of Bottega Veneta’s “New Classic” eyewear range. This was when Daniel Lee was creative director of Bottega. His collections featured bold silhouettes and a move away from the house’s more traditional designs.
This frame is definitely a part of that era! The shape is classic enough to feel like a traditional pair of glasses. But it also uses thick acetate, sharp corners, faceted edges, and metal detail on the temple to give it a bold, modern look.
Features of the BV1032O
Thinking about picking up a pair of Bottega Veneta BV1032O glasses for yourself? Here’s what to know about the BV1032O.
Bold squared shape
The front has a wide square shape with strong corners. It measures 52-18-145, proportions that give the frame plenty of presence without making it oversized.
Faceted acetate
The BV1032O features faceted acetate, which means the frame has angled, flat surfaces rather than completely smooth edges.
The faceting gives the acetate an interesting finish. You can see the effect along the edges, where the angled surfaces catch the light. The BV1032O comes in both solid and transparent acetate colorways, so the effect varies a little from one version to another.
Branding and detailing
The temples have a three-dimensional fringed ribbon metal emblem that runs along each temple. The Bottega Veneta logo is much more discreet, laser-etched and enameled on the top of the left temple.
If you choose a transparent colorway, you’ll get to see another detail. Along the temples, the gold-colored metal core is visible from the emblem to the tips. The ends of the temples are also textured to help stop slipping.
BV1032O Colorways
The BV1032O has solid, transparent, and patterned colorways.
Black
The Black version puts the focus on the shape of the frame. The solid black acetate makes the squared front look professional and allows the gold ribbon on the arms to stand out even more.
Burgundy
Burgundy gives the frame a richer, warmer look. It’s an alternative to black that still offers plenty of depth without moving into a super bright or playful shade.
Havana 008
Havana 008 has a cloudy marbling with a combination of smoky black and gray. The translucent finish lets the gold metal core inside the temples show through. Overall, it’s a striking frame but still versatile enough to work with most outfits.
Havana 002
This version of the Havana is similar to a traditional tortoiseshell pattern. There are also translucent patches so you can just barely see the metal core running through the temples.
