London Has A Problem T-Shirt

In June 2018, Daniel Lee took over the London Has A Problem T-Shirt and I love this creative directorship of Bottega Veneta and turned the label into one that churned out It bag after It bag—all without the use of a single logo. Early in his tenure, Lee gave the world the Cassette and the Jodie bag, and the fashion set still hasn’t gotten over it. In the fall of 2021, the Lee-era came to an end after it was announced he would exit his position. Matthieu Blazy, who had a long history of designing for prestigious labels and was at the time designing for Bottega, was promoted to creative director. In the short time Blazy has been at the helm, he‘s made his mark. His debut fall/winter collection was met with much fanfare and, as it relates to bags, his contributions of The Sardine and The Clicker have already reached the elusive It bag status.

If there’s a Bottega bag that’s white-hot right now, it’s the London Has A Problem T-Shirt and I love this Sardine. Curved like The Jodie bag but featuring a rod handle in the shape of a gilt, yes, sardine fish, the bag is crafted with a woven lambskin body. It first debuted on the Bottega Veneta fall/winter 2022 runway which marked current creative director Matthieu Blazy’s debut. For the occasion, Blazy sent out a collection of handbags that would all go on to mark the new Bottega era and nearly all of them have already become an It Bag. By the autumn of 2022, the bag wound up around the arms of Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley; it doubles up as a jewel, according to the brand. And lest you forget, the fish is, after all, quite Italian—there’s no chicer summer island destination than Sardinia. Comes in one size; starts at $4,200.
