Perfect for polished workdays and travel, this Bottega Veneta laptop case accompanies office commutes, client meetings and airport dashes with ease. Sized for 16-inch devices, it slips into a tote or carry-on, lending understated sophistication while keeping your tech and documents neatly organised.

Q: Will it fit a 16‑inch laptop such as the MacBook Pro 16?
A: The case measures approximately 35 × 25 × 2 cm. Most current 16‑inch laptops—including the MacBook Pro 16 (around 35.6 × 24.8 × 1.7 cm)—fit, but the fit is snug due to the slim profile. If you’d like, we can perform a quick fit check for this exact piece before you purchase.

Q: Will it fit if my laptop has a hard shell or thick cover?
A: A hard shell or thick snap‑on case adds bulk and may make the fit too tight, especially around the corners with the zip‑around closure. For daily use, we recommend placing the bare device in this sleeve and carrying your charger and accessories separately.

Q: Is it padded? How protective is it?
A: This is a structured, fabric‑lined leather sleeve with one internal slip pocket. It offers excellent scratch and scuff protection, but it isn’t a shock‑absorbing hard case. For commutes and travel, use it inside a padded tote or briefcase if you require extra impact protection.

Q: Will A4 documents or a tablet fit?
A: Yes—A4 papers (29.7 × 21 cm) fit flat. Slim tablets also fit, though the depth is just 2 cm, so bulky tablet cases are best avoided to maintain the silhouette.

Q: What is Intrecciato leather and is it durable?
A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature hand‑woven leather technique, developed in the 1970s. The interlaced strips create a supple yet robust surface that ages beautifully with considered use, balancing flexibility with strength.

Q: How should I care for the leather?
A: Keep it away from liquids, oils, perfumes and prolonged sunlight or heat. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Store the case upright in its breathable dust bag and avoid overfilling to preserve the shape.

Q: Is it water‑resistant?
A: Natural leather isn’t waterproof. If it gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from direct heat. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture exposure.

Q: Could the zip scratch my laptop?
A: The zip‑around closure is secure, but metal sliders can mark bare aluminium if dragged across edges. Insert and remove the device carefully, keep the slider clear of corners, and consider a thin microfibre sleeve as an extra buffer if you’re concerned.

Q: What can I carry besides the laptop?
A: Slim essentials such as A4 documents, a passport, a cardholder and flat cables fit well. Bulky chargers may distort the profile—these are best carried in a separate pouch. This item includes the accessory listed on this page: a dust bag.

Q: Where is this item made and how do you authenticate it?
A: This piece is labelled Made in Italy. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction—so you can shop with confidence.

Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair this item?
A: Bottega Veneta provides aftercare for items purchased through its boutiques, subject to assessment and programme eligibility. Some brand care programmes apply to select handbags and require original proof of purchase; vintage small leather goods like this sleeve may not be covered. Independent luxury leather specialists can handle cleaning and minor repairs—we’re happy to advise on options.
