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 this business bag? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 28 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a diary, wallet, phone, small charger, and other daily work essentials. Many 13-inch and some slim 14-inch laptops can fit; please compare your device (and any sleeve) to the measurements and the top-zip opening for best accuracy.

Q: Is it suitable as a laptop briefcase for commuting? A: Yes, for light tech carry. The structured silhouette keeps documents tidy; for laptops, use a slim sleeve and avoid overfilling to prevent stress on the leather. Always check your device dimensions against the measurements on this page before purchase. ([szoneierleather.com](https://szoneierleather.com/briefcase-dimensions/))
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap or any extras? A: This example is designed to be carried by its dual top handles and does not include a shoulder strap. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information on this page; if a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is Intrecciato and how durable is it for daily use? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature leather-weaving technique, introduced in the 1970s. When cared for, it is robust for everyday use; as with any fine leather, avoid sharp edges and prolonged abrasion to preserve the weave.

Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep away from rain and oils; if it gets wet, blot and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh cleaners or waterproofing sprays unless advised by a professional. Store stuffed with acid-free tissue in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. For deeper cleaning, consult a trusted leather-care specialist familiar with Intrecciato.

Q: The lining has some stains—can these be reduced safely at home? A: For fabric linings, gently vacuum out crumbs, then spot clean with a mild detergent solution on a damp cloth. Blot rather than rub, and let it air dry fully; avoid hairdryers and direct sunlight. If marks persist, consider a professional bag spa.

Q: Is this a vintage piece and how is authenticity checked? A: This item is described as vintage. Our in-house experts authenticate every piece via multi-point checks (materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and labels). Many Bottega Veneta bags feature a small interior leather tag with numbers (styles and codes); formats have varied by era, and some vintage pieces show only partial codes—absence of a specific format does not imply inauthenticity.

Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair the weave if a strip is damaged? A: Bottega Veneta boutiques offer aftercare and can assess repair options. The brand’s Certificate of Craft provides ongoing care on select handbags purchased from Bottega Veneta; eligibility and scope vary by model and purchase channel. For vintage or pre-owned pieces, outcomes are case-by-case; experienced third-party leather ateliers may also assist. ([bottegaveneta.com](https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-us/our-services.html))
