Seattle Times business reporter

Italian leather goods purveyor Bottega Veneta plans to open its first Northwest store at The Bravern in downtown Bellevue.

The ultra-pricey retailer will occupy 1,700 square feet of space facing 110th Ave. NE, joining a Bravern tenant roster that also includes Neiman Marcus, Jimmy Choo and Red Door Spa.

Founded in northeast Italy in 1966 and bought by Gucci in 2001, Bottega Veneta owned 113 stores worldwide at the end of last year. It currently has 20 U.S. locations, including San Francisco, Las Vegas and Chicago.

Its Web site lists women's handbags for up to $17,800, shoes for more than $500 and a "basic" men's wallet for $360.

Developed by Schnitzer West, The Bravern includes two office buildings leased to Microsoft and 455 condo units in two towers above 305,000 square feet of retail space scheduled to open in fall 2009.
