Former rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae has drawn attention with a subdued autumn look — and the Bottega Veneta bag completing it. She paired a neat navy ensemble with a light-colored woven bag, striking a balance between understated and luxurious.
Son recently posted several photos on her SNS with the caption "Getting ready for fall." The images show her in a navy cardigan matched with a skirt in the same palette, layered over a white top and finished with a bright-toned woven bag.
The bag has been identified as Bottega Veneta's Baby Campana. The Baby Campana is a shoulder bag defined by the brand's signature Intrecciato weave and a softly curved silhouette. On its official website, Bottega Veneta describes the Campana line as "a reinterpretation of an archival silhouette," emphasizing the balance between structure and softness.
At the heart of the Campana line is Bottega Veneta's distinctive Intrecciato — a woven leather technique that conveys the brand's identity without any visible logo. According to the brand's official description, the Campana is crafted from bonded Intrecciato nappa leather and features a supple silhouette with an unlined interior.
The Baby Campana is the smaller size in the Campana line. Through the official online boutique, it is available in Black, Glacial, Silica Grey and Espresso, among other colors. Its domestic price is 5.6 million won ($4,040).
The design details also reflect practicality. A leather tie closure conceals a magnetic fastening, and the bag is made from lambskin. Hardware is finished in brass.
The bag measures 12.5 centimeters tall, 20 centimeters wide and 9 centimeters deep. The handle drop is 13.5 centimeters and the strap drop is 55 centimeters. The official website notes it fits an iPhone 17 Pro Max, a card case and keys.
The Baby Campana is essentially a mini bag — just large enough for a phone, card wallet, lip product and keys. It can be carried by its short handles or worn over the shoulder using the strap, allowing for different styling depending on the look.
The broader luxury market has been trending toward "quiet luxury" — favoring materials, silhouettes and craftsmanship over prominent logos. Bottega Veneta's Intrecciato bags fit squarely into that movement: the weave itself is recognizable enough to signal the brand without any logo at all.
Light-colored leather bags, however, require careful upkeep. Bottega Veneta advises keeping its natural leather products away from liquids, creams, oils, makeup, perfume, direct sunlight, heat and rough surfaces. Light-colored pieces in particular can pick up dye transfer when rubbed against denim or dark clothing, so care is advised during wear.
