This vintage Bottega Veneta Duette bag in beige python leather offers a refined statement for lunch dates, gallery visits or evening plans. Made in Italy and finished with a single adjustable shoulder strap and suede lining, it remains in very good condition with light traces of use and tarnishing to the hardware.
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 Python Duette Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 25 x 14 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, purse, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and similar items. It offers a practical shoulder-bag size, but it is not intended for larger laptops. Please use the measurements on this page as your best guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn cross-body? A: This style is best suited to shoulder carry rather than cross-body wear. The single adjustable strap has an approximate drop of 25 cm, which usually sits comfortably on the shoulder but is generally too short for a true cross-body fit.
Q: What is the bag made from? A: The exterior is crafted from python leather and the lining is suede. As with many exotic skins, natural variation in the scale pattern and finish is part of the material’s character.
Q: How should I care for python leather? A: Python leather benefits from gentle handling. Wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth, avoid water and excess moisture, and keep it away from oils, creams, perfume, direct sunlight and heat. For storage, keep the bag lightly stuffed and placed in a breathable dust bag or pillowcase to help maintain its shape.
Q: Is python leather more delicate than regular leather? A: Yes, python is usually more delicate than many smooth or grained leathers. To help preserve the scales and finish, avoid overfilling the bag, heavy rubbing against rough surfaces and prolonged exposure to damp conditions.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: This bag is listed in very good vintage condition with light traces of use to both the exterior and interior. The hardware shows tarnishing, which is consistent with age and wear.
Q: What product information is included with the bag? A: No additional product information is listed as included with this item.
Q: Is a serial number listed for this item? A: No serial number is listed in the product information for this bag. With vintage Bottega Veneta pieces, internal markings can vary by era, so authenticity is usually assessed through the overall construction, materials, hardware and interior details together rather than by one code alone.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy, which is consistent with Bottega Veneta’s reputation for Italian craftsmanship.
Q: Are there any travel or shipping considerations with python leather? A: Possibly. Because this bag is made from python leather, international shipping or cross-border travel can sometimes be subject to customs rules or documentation requirements depending on the destination. If you plan to ship or travel with it internationally, it is sensible to check local regulations in advance.
