The Original Chain bag to carry

Bottega Veneta has been on everyone’s lips this week. Daniel Lee, the designer of the red hot bags and shoes for Bottega, had his contract with the brand voided. That said, some of the biggest trends this season are following his lead. He added chains to his pillowy bags for a new effect. And others followed.
