The Bottega Veneta model files, from the 1978 Knot through the Maier relaunch and the new-Bottega era: the Cabat manifesto tote woven with nothing written on it, the Veneta hobo that shielded Jodie Foster from the photographers, the Pouch that restarted the house in 2019, and the Jodie that named the photograph. One maison, no logo, and a weave that does the signing.

"c." marks an introduction documented only approximately — the file records the evidence, not a guess.
Gucci’s serial tags encode the style number and the supplier, not the date — no tool can date a Gucci from its tag, and the file says so plainly so a listing cannot say otherwise. Dating rests on era details and provenance; the dating tools cover Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Dior.
