Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Medium Andiamo Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Andiamo? A: With approximate measurements of 33 × 24 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetic pouch and a notebook. Thanks to the width, a slim 13-inch laptop or tablet in a sleeve can fit; for best results, compare your device to the measurements listed here. Q: Is the strap adjustable and how can I wear it? A: Yes. The braided strap slides to adjust quickly for shoulder or crossbody wear, and the top handle lets you carry it by hand or in the crook of the arm. The strap drop on Medium models is typically around 24–45 cm. Q: Is the strap detachable? A: The sliding braided strap is integrated into the design and is not intended to be removed. Q: How does the closure work, and is it secure for commuting? A: The bag has a discreet magnetic closure at the top and a central strap finished with Bottega Veneta’s signature metal knot detail. For commuting, place valuables in the interior pocket(s) for added security and keep the top aligned so the magnet engages. Q: What leather is this made from, and is Intrecciato delicate? A: The Andiamo is crafted in soft lambskin using the house’s Intrecciato weave. The weave reinforces the leather, but the surface is still a premium natural material—avoid abrasion and potential colour transfer from dark denim. Q: How should I care for and store the bag? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep away from liquids, oils, make-up, perfumes, direct sunlight, heat and abrasive surfaces. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to retain shape, and allow the strap and knot to rest flat to prevent impressions on the weave. For deep cleaning or conditioning, use a neutral leather product sparingly or consult a leather-care professional. Q: What is the interior like on the Medium Andiamo? A: Many Medium Andiamo bags feature a compartmented interior with one zipped pocket and two open pockets. This specific piece is listed with one main compartment in dark brown leather—please refer to the product information on this page for the exact layout of this item. Q: When did the Andiamo launch, and what does the name mean? A: Andiamo debuted in 2023 under creative director Matthieu Blazy. Its name means “let’s go” in Italian and reflects the bag’s effortless, go-anywhere design. Q: Is the Medium Andiamo suitable for crossbody wear on different heights? A: Yes. The sliding strap allows quick length adjustments, and at full length it is generally suitable for crossbody wear for most heights. If you prefer a higher or lower drop, you can fine-tune by sliding the strap to your preferred position. Q: How is authenticity ensured, and do modern Bottega Veneta bags have serial numbers? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, weave, stitching, hardware and stamps. Many newer Bottega Veneta bags incorporate a concealed NFC microchip rather than prominent serial labels.
