Jacob Elordi's Latest Role As Bottega Veneta's Desert Dreamboat

Bottega Veneta is on the move — literally. In its latest campaign, the Italian leather maestro taps actor and brand ambassador Jacob Elordi to channel the spirit of adventure, captured in dynamic and cinematic shots by photographer Alec Soth. Set against the stunning backdrops of Utah and Nevada, Elordi is seen leaping through the desert, a picture of effortless motion, embodying the essence of Bottega Veneta’s new travel accessories.

The campaign, titled 'Going Places', isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a nod to the very DNA of Bottega Veneta. Since its inception in 1966, the brand has prided itself on the softness and flexibility of its leather goods — designs that adapt to their wearer, making them perfect for the person in motion. Creative Director Matthieu Blazy captures this ethos, saying, 'Bottega Veneta is about movement, going somewhere; it’s craft in motion.'

That idea of movement extends beyond just fashion. Rooted in Venice, a city shaped by centuries of trade and exploration, Bottega Veneta’s heritage is intertwined with the spirit of travel. And in 'Going Places', Elordi's fluid poses — whether he’s gracefully balancing next to the Andiamo bag or soaring over rocks with the weekender in hand — reflect the brand’s long history of blending style with practicality.

As Elordi showcases key pieces like the new canvas-and-leather Andiamo (aptly named after the Italian phrase for 'Let’s Go') and a sleek weekender bag in weathered brown leather, the message is clear: Bottega Veneta is not just about looking good, it’s about getting out there and embracing the journey, wherever it may take you. As one of Already a superfan of the brand — paparazzi shots of the actor carrying the Andiamo as part of his covetable bag collection — it's no wonder that Blazy would pick him as his ultimate muse.
