These days, no other brand consistently produces bags that "look like it" as much as Bottega Veneta. From the iconic Jodie to the supersized Andiamo to the quirky Sardine, the list of this luxury Italian brand's most popular bags could go on forever. The brand became famous for its intrecciato, a unique and instantly recognizable leather weave design. So when a new bag featuring intrecciato appeared on the runway for last year's Fall-Winter 2023 collection, we waited with bated breath for its arrival. And now, it has finally appeared. Introducing the Gemelli Bag, the newest addition to Bottega Veneta's alluring line of handbags.

The Gemelli strikes a balance between the oversized, roomy tote bag and the structured shoulder bag, finding the perfect middle ground between sizes. Like all Bottega bags, it features the signature intrecciato design, but this time in a roomy half-moon shape (The Row's half-moon bag is another "it girl" bag candidate). It comes with a removable tubular strap and two zippered compartments to securely store valuables.

Its carefree silhouette is why it has already become a favorite among celebrities. Stars like Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman were recently spotted carrying the bag. While Moore styled the black with Birkenstocks and white denim for a casual look, Kidman paired the beige with an icy blue dress and kitten heels. Here, the bag's transformative powers are on full display. For Kidman, the bag is sophisticated enough to dress up, but not too formal to leave behind when Moore runs errands.

Bottega's latest creation, the Andiamo, was only recently restocked after its usual sell-out status. Kylie Jenner may be to blame for the bag's instant spread on social media, but Bottega's offerings are more than just a celebrity token. Bottega bags are more than just celebrity trinkets: we tested the Andiamo and confirmed that this tote is worth it. Above all, the bag's greatest feature is its functionality and comfort, making it a must-have for many.

Like the Andiamo and other Bottega bags, the Gemelli is not something you buy on a whim. The small size costs $3,400, the medium size $4,100, and the large size nearly $5,000. The shoulder bag/tote hybrid is available in a variety of colors, from fall brown to emerald green, beige, black, and white.

Is it tough to justify spending your entire paycheck on a bag?" yes, make no mistake about it. But this is a bag that will last a lifetime. And with Moore and Kidman's endorsement, the verdict is in: the Gemelli is the new must-have bag of the season. Buy the Gemelli Bag
