Perfect for the working week, this vintage Bottega Veneta business bag in black Intrecciato leather lends discreet polish to office attire. Dual rolled handles and a top zip make commuting easy, while interior slip pockets help organise essentials. Ideal for client meetings, presentations and smart city days.
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 × 27 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents when placed horizontally, a tablet or e‑reader, a slim 13-inch laptop, pens and other small daily essentials. Interior organisation includes one large and two smaller slip pockets with a secure top zip. As the profile is intentionally slim, capacity depends on how flat your items are.
Q: Will my laptop fit? A: Most 13-inch laptops and some slim 14-inch models fit if used without a bulky sleeve. Larger 16-inch devices may fit by width and height but are often too tight given the 2 cm depth. Please compare your device’s exact measurements to the bag’s dimensions and allow a small margin for ease of use.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This example is designed for hand carry via its dual rolled handles. No shoulder strap is included; everything supplied is listed under product information.
Q: Is the Intrecciato weave durable for daily use? A: Yes. Intrecciato is a hand‑woven leather technique that is flexible yet robust for everyday business use. To preserve the weave, avoid overfilling, prolonged rubbing against abrasive surfaces and contact with sharp edges.
Q: How should I care for the leather and weave? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid contact with liquids, creams, oils, make‑up and perfumes, and do not apply generic waterproofing sprays unless advised by a professional. For significant marks or deep cleaning, consult a leather specialist or the brand’s aftercare services.
Q: What should I do if a leather strip lifts or snags? A: Do not pull or cut the strip. If possible, gently tuck it back into place and avoid further friction. For persistent lifting or damage, seek professional repair to prevent the weave from loosening.
Q: How do Bottega Veneta labels and numbers work? A: Many Bottega Veneta bags have a leather brand label with a small fabric tag inside. The numbers usually indicate the style/model, leather and colour codes, and sometimes a production year or lot. They are not a publicly decodable date code; authenticity should be judged holistically with craftsmanship and materials.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and what is its condition? A: Yes, this is a vintage, pre‑owned item. The exterior and interior are in very good condition with light traces of use, and the dark silver‑tone hardware is shiny with light scratches, as noted on this page.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: All included items are listed under product information for this listing. This piece currently has no additional items stated.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of leather quality, Intrecciato construction, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and interior tags. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further product information on request.
