This is the last bag designed by Matthieu Blazy before he goes to Chanel that everyone is talking about, the new Bottega Veneta Ciao Ciao bag. The open slouch and gold knot hardware details are so chic.
There are two sizes, one is more medium and the other extra large. It comes with a shoulder bag strap or you can use the top handle as a handbag.
The beige, burgundy also referred to as Barolo (like the wine) and black colors are for the medium size. The Matcha green, rose pink and brown colors are for the extra large size, that make it the perfect work bag.
Ciao Ciao means hello and goodbye in Italian so the name of the bag is a playful touch to the entire Andiamo collection (which means ‘lets go’) in Italian as well.
The Ciao Ciao Bag vs the Andiamo Bag
One noticeable difference is the Ciao Ciao Bag and the Andiamo Bag is the flap.
Crafted in Bottega Veneta’s signature Intrecciato leather weave, the Andiamo bag exudes sophistication while maintaining a contemporary edge. Its sliding braided chain strap adds a touch of versatility, allowing it to transition seamlessly from a shoulder bag to a crossbody. The magnetic closure ensures easy access, while the compartmented interior—complete with a zippered pocket and open sections—keeps your essentials organized.
The bag also reminds me of the Hermes because the flap can be placed on the inside pocket as well.
The bag was dropped in a summer 2025 campaign and is the most wanted it bag of 2025 after so many fashionistas out it on their wish list after NWFW.
Is the Ciao Ciao Bag Right for You?
Well, if you’re always on the go, need a bag that transitions from work to weekend, and love a bit of drama in your accessories, the Ciao Ciao is calling your name. It’s the kind of bag that’ll make you feel like a fashion icon.
However, if you tend to keep things simple with just the essentials—like a wallet, phone, and lip gloss—you might want to opt for something a little more streamlined. Think the Andiamo bag, with its sleek, minimal design that still screams sophistication.
Bottom line? The Ciao Ciao bag is the kind of piece you buy when you’re ready to own your style. So, are you ready to say “Ciao” to your old bag and “Ciao Ciao” to a fresh, chic upgrade?
