Dual rolled handles and understated gunmetal hardware bring refined professionalism from office hours to after-work engagements.
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 Intrecciato Business Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 30 × 7.5 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents/folders, a 13-inch laptop or tablet, a compact charger, diary, smartphone, keys and a slim pouch. The three interior compartments and zip‑around opening help keep workday essentials organised. If you’d like a tailored fit check for your device, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? If so, which sizes are realistic? A: Most 13-inch laptops fit well; some slim 14-inch ultrabooks may also fit depending on thickness and case. 15-inch devices are generally too large for comfortable use in this silhouette. Please compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements or contact us for a quick fit check.
Q: Does this specific piece include a shoulder strap? Can it be worn crossbody? A: This vintage bag is configured with dual rolled top handles (approx. 15 cm drop) and is intended for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. A number of Intrecciato briefcases from other seasons include detachable shoulder straps, but this listing does not. See the Accessories section for what’s included.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag features a zip‑around closure for good everyday security. Inside, the black lining is arranged into three main compartments with pockets to organise paperwork and smaller items. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What is Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato, and is the woven leather durable? A: Intrecciato is the house’s signature hand‑woven leather technique, celebrated for combining suppleness with strength. When used with care (avoiding overloading and abrasion), it wears beautifully and is known for long‑term durability.
Q: How should I care for the Intrecciato leather and gunmetal hardware? A: Keep the bag away from excessive moisture and direct heat; be mindful of possible colour transfer from dark denim. Dust with a soft microfibre cloth and use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and pad or wrap hardware to minimise hairline scratches during storage.
Q: Is this exact model still produced? A: Bottega Veneta continues to release Intrecciato document bags and briefcases, though vintage configurations like this may no longer be in current production. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific past‑season layouts and hardware finishes.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes typically found? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags usually feature an interior leather stamp reading “Bottega Veneta – Made in Italy,” and many pieces also have a small internal tag with model/style information sewn into a pocket or lining corner. Placement and format vary by era; we’re happy to share close‑ups of this exact item on request.
Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair or service the bag? A: Bottega Veneta boutiques can assess items for repair, subject to materials/parts availability and the bag’s condition. Their current “Certificate of Craft” aftercare applies to select bags purchased with that programme; vintage pieces like this may not be eligible, but boutiques and reputable leather specialists can still assist with cleaning and restoration. We’re happy to advise on next steps.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: This item is delivered with no accessories unless listed otherwise under “Accessories.” Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, weave, stitching, hardware and brand stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
