Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Cabat MM Tote Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Cabat MM?
A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 24 × 17 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a 13-inch laptop placed horizontally in a slim sleeve, A4 documents (sideways), a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a compact umbrella and a 500 ml water bottle. Actual capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.

Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder?
A: Yes. The handle drop is about 20 cm, so most people can wear it over the shoulder with light layers. It is equally comfortable carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.

Q: Does the Cabat have a closure or lining?
A: The Cabat is intentionally unlined and has an open-top design for easy access. It features one main compartment and a detachable zipped pouch for valuables. There are no built-in interior or exterior pockets on the classic design.

Q: What makes the Cabat special?
A: Each Cabat is handwoven in the signature Intrecciato technique from double-faced leather strips. The construction is seamless and meticulously crafted, a process that takes around two days, resulting in a tote that balances structure with suppleness and timeless simplicity.

Q: Is the Cabat heavy to carry?
A: As a fully leather, double-woven tote, it has more heft than a canvas shopper, yet many owners find it comfortable for daily use. Perceived weight varies by size and what you carry—if you prefer an ultralight feel, keep contents minimal or use smaller organisers.

Q: Is it suitable for a laptop and commuting?
A: Yes for a 13-inch device placed horizontally. Because the interior is unlined and there is no padded compartment, we recommend a slim protective sleeve. For commuting, keep the bag upright and use the included pouch or a slim organiser for small items given the open top.

Q: How should I care for Intrecciato leather?
A: Store and handle with care. Keep away from liquids, oils, perfumes, direct sunlight, heat and abrasive surfaces. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners or waterproofing sprays that could affect the leather and weave. When not in use, loosely stuff the bag and store it in a breathable dust bag. For professional care, consult a leather specialist or brand aftercare.

Q: Does this model have built-in pockets or metal feet?
A: Classic Cabat totes keep hardware and features minimal. They typically have no built-in interior/exterior pockets and come with a detachable zipped pouch; metal feet are not typical for the design.

Q: What accessories are included with this specific item?
A: This piece includes a detachable pouch, as listed under Accessories. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.

Q: What is the condition of this item?
A: Very Good overall. The handles show some rubbing, there is light wear on the corners, slight discolouration in one interior corner and on the pouch, and the hardware shows slight discolouration with light scratches. Please review the photos for details.
