| | TIME Europe Magazine: Bottega Veneta Bags A Winner -- Nov. 18, 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | As good as the Milan collections for spring 2003 were and they were very good the hands-down winner came from a company that didn't even put on a runway show. |
 | | With its third collection by Tomas Maier, Bottega Veneta, the leather-goods house famous in the 1970s for its woven bags and the slogan "When your own initials are enough," confirmed expectations that it would be Gucci Group's next successful turnaround. |
 | | While Maier was designing these delights, Bottega's CEO Patrizio di Marco was opening stores in New York, Paris, Milan and London. |
