Bottega Veneta, an Italian luxury brand, was established in 1966 in the Veneto region of Italy by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. The brand's name translates to "Venetian Shop," reflecting its deep roots in the artisanship and culture of its birthplace. Bottega Veneta initially gained recognition for its artisanal leather goods, especially its signature intrecciato weave design, a pattern that has become synonymous with the brand's commitment to understated luxury and quality. Over time, the company expanded its portfolio to include ready-to-wear, footwear, accessories, and home decor, all the while maintaining its original ethos of craftsmanship and quality.

In the 2000s, Bottega Veneta underwent a period of revitalization under the creative direction of Tomas Maier, who introduced the brand's motto, "When your own initials are enough." This phrase embodied the company's dedication to individuality and personal expression, eschewing conspicuous logos in favor of subtle, timeless elegance. Today, Bottega Veneta is a part of the Kering Group, one of the world's leading luxury goods groups. With a global network of boutiques and a strong digital presence, Bottega Veneta continues to set standards in luxury, its products serving as a testament to the brand's rich heritage and commitment to craftsmanship.

Thélios was created in 2017, when LVMH entered the eyewear industry by joining forces with sector expert Marcolin. It produces unique optical frames, drawing on Italian design and craftsmanship to reflect the quintessential spirit of each prestigious Maison. The name is a reference to Greek mythology: a combination of Theia, goddess of light and sight, and Helios, god of the sun. Thélios covers every stage of the eyewear production cycle – it designs, manufactures and distributes sunglasses and optical frames for a number of LVMH Maisons. It aims to become an emblem of quality in a rapidly transforming sector, driven notably by a burgeoning Asian market. Driven by this ambition, in April 2018 the company inaugurated the Manifattura Thélios, its flagship production site and center for excellence. Its comprehensive, flexible manufacturing system ensures full control of every stage of production, from the design brief to design, prototyping and production. The site focuses on innovation and cutting-edge technologies, such as 3D printers, while also emphasizing traditional craftsmanship. The 8,000-sq.m production facility located in Longarone – a town in northern Italy known for its long history of eyewear manufacturing – employs around a hundred people. The sustainably designed and eco-friendly building – complete with 2,300 solar panels on its roof – is the brainchild of architecture firm Designgroup Architetti Associati. The Manifattura Thélios produces about 1.5 million optical frames a year and could rapidly triple its production by expanding its brand portfolio. Thélios – which is already working with Celine, Loewe, Fred, Kenzo and Berluti – is looking to the future with its Manifattura, while carrying on a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship. This project combines LVMH and Marcolin’s taste for top-quality products with respect for a cultural legacy essential to the region. It is a reminder of how strategically important Italy is for LVMH, and yet another example of the Group’s investment in Italy’s economic heritage and development.

More than sixty years ago, Robert Jean de Vogüé, at the time President of Moët & Chandon, and a handful of other exceptional individuals had the vision, courage and drive to redefine luxury sparkling wine.

They realized that there was a way to make it modern; and that was to take it far, far from home, exporting their centuries old know how, not the bottles. What they created was a thrilling paradox: a heritage brand with dynamism in its DNA. CHANDON.

Now spanning four continents, we have wineries in Argentina, California, Brazil, Australia, China and India, making ours the largest sparkling vineyard worldwide and the only domain on which the sun never sets.

Drawing on a collaborative network of sixteen winemakers of seven different nationalities, we stand for new terroirs, innovative methods and an ever-curious outlook that happily unites our diverse lands and people. CHANDON opens up a world of possibilities.

For over a century, Buccellati jewels have been the symbol of creations of unparalleled beauty and quality. They have drawn inspiration from the thousand-year heritage of craftsmanship and goldsmithing traditions that Italy has gifted the world.

Our story begins with Mario Buccellati, the brand’s founder and a visionary; a man who was able to understand and interpret his own times, to the point of outdoing them. In the process, Buccellati succeeded in forging a style that still bears his name, over a century later.

“The Buccellati style is an evolution born from its originator, from my grandfather, Mario, who, left a very strong imprint on it. Subsequently, each generation has applied the working techniques, the design and the Buccellati style, reworking them in their own way while fully respecting the soul of the brand.”
