In Potts Point, where the night hums with anticipation, a sanctuary of shadows and light unfurls – a bar christened Paradise. Here, marble sparkles under the glide of passing silhouettes and the air itself feels cloaked with a confidence not yet spoken. Within this charged dusk, Bottega Veneta claims its stage.

The bags – sculptures wrought from silence and intention, woven with the gravitas of heritage – seem less placed than fated. They recline against a throne of just-polished glassware, hover in the arm of a twinkling chandelier, or catch the eye on a passing wine shelf, distilled in a glance. Against stone, beneath light, they command, carving their own architecture into the fleeting theatre of night.

Paradise does not merely frame them; it converses. Its layered textures breathe in tandem with the brand’s artistry: the Intrecciato weave instantly recognisable for its heritage, geometry sharp and elemental strikes a note of purity, reverberating into space. Here, intimacy and spectacle entwine, revelry and restraint dissolve into one another, like smoke circling a flame.

Through Kitty Callaghan’s lens and Hannah Cooper’s gaze, each image becomes a shard of dream: a nocturne of design and desire, unfolding frame by frame. The bags do not embellish the story – they become its pulse, companions to the mysteries of the hour, talismans of beauty consecrated to the rituals of night.

This is the vision of revelling. It is not merely an unveiling, but an invitation: to enter Paradise, to dwell in its glow, and to emerge transformed.
