Not even Bottega Veneta is bigger than the mule-fication program. The powers that be have been taking the heels off shoes left and right, proving that less, very often, is more.

You really can't go wrong with a good pair of clogs, and you really, really can't go wrong with a luxed-up Intrecciato weave slip-on that can be put on without too much fuss, which is the dictionary definition of quiet luxury, if you didn't know.

Bottega Veneta's Intrecciato Leather Clog Mule is the perfect blend of wearable simplicity and elegant sophistication. The phrase day-to-night has been beaten to a pulp, but that's truly the only way to categorize the duality of this simple clog.

At a glance, Bottega Veneta's Intrecciato Leather mule reads as your standard leather slip-on.

The simple curved toe and second-skin leather feel are pretty standard happenings where all things clogs are concerned. Where the Italian mason starts to deviate from the clog code of sartorial ethics, though, is in the way it wraps its bougie slip-on.

Instead of simple, smooth leather, this clog wears Bottega Veneta's signature leather-braiding technique. Developed in Italy during the late 1960s, Bottega Veneta's Intrecciato weave has become the brand's strongest signatures.

Forget loud monograms or boisterous branding (which, to be fair, have their own place in the world of fashion) Bottega Veneta makes its presence known through layered strips of carefully placed lambskin leather.
