* 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 Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Business Bag? A: Designed for the modern professional, this briefcase (approx. 40 × 30 × 5.5 cm) comfortably holds A4 documents, a tablet, and daily essentials like a wallet, phone, and keys. It is sized to accommodate most 13-inch and 14-inch laptops. Slim 15-inch models may fit, but we recommend comparing your device’s dimensions with the measurements provided on this page.
Q: Will my laptop fit? A: With a width of 40 cm, this bag generally fits laptops up to 13 or 14 inches with ease. Larger 15-inch devices might be a snug fit depending on their bezel and case. Please check your laptop’s width against the bag’s internal dimensions or contact us for a tailored fit check for this specific piece.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and removable? A: Yes, this bag includes a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, allowing you to wear it on the shoulder or crossbody for hands-free commuting. You can also carry it by the dual rolled top handles. The strap drop and handle measurements are listed in the description; if you need further details, feel free to ask.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The main compartment features a secure zip-top closure to keep your documents and technology safe. Inside, you’ll typically find a zippered pocket for valuables, while an external zip pocket offers quick access to essentials like your phone or travel pass. Please review our photos to see the exact interior layout of this item.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather and how should I care for it? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature technique of weaving strips of leather (typically nappa or calfskin) to create a durable, flexible structure. To maintain it, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, oils, and direct sunlight. Store the bag lightly stuffed in its breathable dust bag to preserve the shape of the weave. If the leather gets wet, blot it gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Q: What materials and hardware feature on this bag? A: This piece is crafted from Burgundy Intrecciato leather with gunmetal (brunito) hardware and a tonal fabric lining. The specific condition of the leather and hardware for this item is detailed in the “Condition” section of the listing.
Q: Where do I find the serial number or brand markings? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags typically feature a small interior tag sewn into the lining or a pocket. This tag usually displays the brand logo on one side and a serial code on the reverse. Older vintage models may have different marking styles. We carefully inspect these details to ensure authenticity.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We examine the leather quality, Intrecciato weave consistency, stitching, hardware finish, zippers, and internal tags/codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Any other accessories (like a dust bag or box) are only included if listed explicitly under the “Accessories” section. If you are unsure, please contact us for confirmation.
