Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Bottega Veneta Mini The Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 13 × 22 × 6 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, wireless earbuds and slim sunglasses in a soft case. Bulky items or thick cases may reduce capacity—share your device’s measurements and we’ll test the fit for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a large smartphone or a continental wallet? A: Large phones typically fit. A full‑length continental wallet is often a tight squeeze in the Mini and can press against the frame; a compact wallet or cardholder is recommended for easier access and to preserve the silhouette.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The slim leather strap is designed for shoulder or crossbody wear and is generally non‑detachable. Many owners shorten it by tying a discreet knot to achieve a higher crossbody drop. If you prefer a clutch, the strap can be tucked inside for hand or under‑arm carry—ask us if you’d like a demonstration for this piece.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Mini The Pouch features a magnetic frame closure for quick access and everyday security. Inside, there’s a single main compartment lined in leather with no internal pockets. For travel or commuting, we suggest using a small zip pouch for valuables.
Q: What material is it made from and how should I care for it? A: The Pouch line is crafted in exceptionally soft, supple leather (often lambskin or calfskin depending on season). Keep it away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight; be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Dust with a soft, dry cloth and condition smooth leather very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag (included), and avoid over‑loading to maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch? A: Yes. The Mini’s strap can be tucked inside so the bag functions as a compact clutch while retaining the soft, voluminous silhouette—ideal for evening wear.
Q: Is the Mini The Pouch still produced? A: Yes—Bottega Veneta continues to release Mini The Pouch in seasonal colours and finishes. Availability varies by season and boutique; the pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific colours like this black version.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes typically found? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags feature an interior “BOTTEGA VENETA – Made in Italy” stamp/label and, on many models, a discreet internal tag bearing a serial/style code. Placement can vary (often within a pocket or seam). We’re happy to share close‑up photos of the markings on this exact piece on request.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: This listing includes a dust bag (see “Accessories”). Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/labels and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
