Bottega Veneta BV1390S vs. BV1386S vs. BV1249S
If you're drawn to Bottega Veneta's refined Italian aesthetic, these three models offer different takes on the brand's design philosophy at varying price points.
The Signature Icons Choice: BV1390S ($462-$486)
The BV1390S is the standout if you want a frame with genuine design heritage. The gold knot detail at each temple is inspired by Bottega Veneta's iconic Knot clutch—a signature element that's been part of the brand's DNA since 2001. The cat-eye shape with almond lenses and lens cutouts that frame the knot hardware make this more than just sunglasses; it's a piece of Bottega Veneta history. Made in Japan with bio-based nylon lenses, it's the choice for customers who appreciate the story behind the design.
Alternative Option: BV1386S ($395-$400)
The BV1386S sits at a similar premium price point and shares Bottega Veneta's commitment to quality construction. While it doesn't feature the distinctive knot detail, it offers a different frame shape that may appeal to customers looking for a different silhouette. It's a strong alternative if the cat-eye shape of the BV1390S doesn't suit your face shape or personal style.
The Value Play: BV1249S ($321-$330)
At roughly $140 less than the BV1390S, the BV1249S delivers Bottega Veneta's Italian craftsmanship and UV protection at a more accessible price. It has a bold, sculptural presence and modern design, but it's not part of the Signature Icons collection and lacks the knot hardware that makes the BV1390S special. Choose this if you want the Bottega Veneta name and quality without the premium for signature design elements.
Our recommendation: The BV1390S justifies its price with a distinctive design element you won't find on other frames. The knot detail is instantly recognizable to those who know, and the cat-eye shape is flattering on round and oval faces. If you're investing in luxury eyewear, choose the frame with the story—that's the BV1390S.
