Bottega Veneta

Italian sizing throughout, which catches people out most often with shoes. Footwear is numbered on the European scale, so a 38 or a 41 rather than a North American number. Clothing is generally sized on the Italian numeric scale, though some knitwear is sized by letter instead, so it is worth checking the size shown on the individual listing. The cuts themselves lean relaxed rather than close, so read the measurements before assuming you need to go up a size.

Yes, and it is meant to. The soft leathers the house favours relax with handling, so a bag that arrives structured will slouch a little and a woven surface settles into the way you carry it. Colour deepens slightly with contact and with light. What you want to avoid is uneven change: water spotting, a sharp crease from being stored empty and folded, or one side bleached pale by a sunny shelf.

Yes. Every piece DIHSAN sells is the brand's own — genuine designer product, with the maker's hardware, stamping and markings intact. Nothing is a reproduction or a licensed imitation.

No. Duties are included on every DIHSAN order, and US orders include taxes as well.
