Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Small Hobo Bag

Q: What fits inside this Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Small Hobo Bag?
A: This bag measures approximately 39 x 25 x 5 cm, so it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics and other slim items. Its hobo shape gives a little flexibility, but the slim depth means it is not ideal for bulkier belongings. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate size guide.

Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder?
A: Yes. This style is designed as a shoulder bag and features a single shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 17 cm. It should sit neatly under the arm for most wearers, while still leaving enough room for light layering.

Q: Does this bag close securely?
A: Yes. This particular piece features a top zip closure, which helps keep your belongings secure while maintaining the relaxed hobo silhouette.

Q: What is the inside of the bag like?
A: The interior is lined in beige suede and includes one internal zipped pocket. This makes it practical for keeping smaller valuables separate from the main compartment.

Q: What material is this bag made from?
A: This bag is crafted in red Intrecciato leather, Bottega Veneta’s signature woven leather technique. The woven construction gives the bag its distinctive look while keeping it soft, supple and elegant.

Q: How should I care for Intrecciato leather?
A: To care for woven leather, avoid overfilling the bag, protect it from heavy rain and prolonged direct sunlight, and keep it away from rough surfaces that may catch the weave. Store it in its dust bag when not in use, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. For cleaning, use only a soft dry cloth and seek a leather specialist for anything more than light surface dust.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: This item is in very good vintage condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior both show light signs of wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all pre-owned pieces, minor variations and gentle ageing are part of the character of the bag.

Q: What is included with the bag?
A: This item includes a dust bag. Everything included is listed under the product information; if another accessory is not mentioned there, it is not included.

Q: Is this bag authentic?
A: Yes. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully inspected for authenticity before being offered for sale. This vintage Bottega Veneta bag has been reviewed as a genuine pre-owned piece.
