Bottega Veneta opens Harrods pop-up to celebrate Intrecciato
Published
September 8, 2025
Kering’s Bottega Veneta has opened a month-long pop-up inside Harrods, London, celebrating the 50th anniversary of its signature Intrecciato weave.
Running until 2 October, the space focuses on both the traditional craft and experimentation of the label and introduces La Tavola, a new architectural concept modelled on the communal tables used in the label’s ateliers.
In fact, La Tavola is the centerpiece of the ground floor space where shoppers can find the brand’s bags, small leather goods, jewellery, and fragrances. La Tavola also includes drawers that hold materials used for the Intrecciato weave so that customers can get greater insight into the process.

Product-wise there are also pop-up exclusives such as stationery and keepsakes, as well as ready-to-wear and footwear. And acknowledging that this is a space in Harrods, many items come in the signature green for which the department store is known.
While not all the products available there are based on the Intrecciato weave, the space itself was completely built around the technique by the brand’s in-house team. For instance, furniture and fixtures (such as the shelves) in concrete and Italian walnut are arranged in an interlocking system.
And the soft leather chairs in the pop-up feature an oversized version of the weave.
Meanwhile, shots from the label’s latest craft-focused campaign (taken by British photographer Jack Davison) can be seen as visitors enter the space.

EU regulatory tsunami hits war-distracted textile industry now
While war disrupts logistics, a deeper shift is unfolding in Europe.
New rules, including DPP, CSDDD, Ecodesign and EPR, will redefine textile market access, adding 3–7 per cent to costs and demanding full traceability.
Companies delaying compliance risk exclusion, as regulation, not geopolitics, emerges as the industry’s most decisive competitive filter.

DOST-PTRI to launch yarn innovation centre in Philippine’s Cotabato
The facility will process natural fibres such as abaca, banana and pineapple into high-quality yarn, addressing long-standing challenges faced by local weavers who have relied on imported materials. This initiative is expected to create new markets for agricultural produce while providing additional income streams for farmers.
The DOST-PTRI, with DOST Region 12, will establish the Regional Yarn Production and Innovation Center in Philippine’s Cotabato to process natural fibres into yarn and support Mindanao’s textile industry.
The facility aims to boost farmer incomes, reduce reliance on imported yarn and strengthen local weaving communities through training, technology transfer and improved supply chain infrastructure.
During the first-quarter meeting of the Regional Research, Development, and Innovation Committee, Evangeline Flor P. Manalang, chief science research specialist of DOST-PTRI’s Technical Services Division, stated “The RYPIC will serve as a key facility to process our natural fibers into yarn and open opportunities for skills training among farmers and local stakeholders.” She also emphasised the project’s role in building a sustainable textile ecosystem in Soccsksargen.
The RYPIC complements existing facilities such as the Natural Textile Fiber Innovation Hub at Sultan Kudarat State University and forms part of broader national programmes including the Clothing and Textile Research Innovation and Investment Agenda (CATRINA) and the FRONTIER initiative. These efforts aim to strengthen the domestic textile value chain, reduce reliance on imports and support the government’s push to expand Telang Pinoy, as highlighted by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in his fourth State of the Nation Address.
