THE BRAND

Bottega Bernard is an emerging genderless fashion brand, born in Tuscany in 2021 from the idea of ​​Annachiara Bernardi.

BB grounds its essence on the cohesion of various elements: sartorialism, textile research and environmental respect, which combined with a modern design, create our vision of sustainable fashion.

The brand is rooted in the artisan traditions typical of the Tuscan territory, rediscovering the True Made in Italy, the sartorial processes, the attention to detail, and researching high-quality Italian fabrics and raw materials, which have a reduced impact on the environment, preferring natural, organic, recycled and end-cycle fibres.

Bottega Bernard's genderless design fuses the contemporary spirit of streetwear with elements of timeless elegance. This is our representation of a fashion that adapts to all lifestyles, that is inclusive and boundless.

Influenced by life experiences, Bottega Bernard is the canvas to share our narrative, our education, the people around us and our taste, allowing the individuals wearing it to fully express their uniqueness and feel part of the BB family.
