Q: Is it unisex and how might I style it?
A: Yes—its minimalist design and neutral camel colour make it a versatile, unisex accessory. Wear it crossbody for hands‑free days, on the shoulder for evenings, or remove the chain and use it as a slim wallet inside a tote or briefcase.

Q: How should I care for Intrecciato woven leather and the hardware?
A: Keep leather away from water, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and use a high‑quality, neutral leather conditioner sparingly—avoid saturating the weave. Do not use soaps, solvents or alcohol‑based cleaners. Store stuffed lightly with tissue in a breathable dust bag, keeping the chain from pressing into the leather. Polish hardware with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid abrasives or contact with perfumes and lotions.

Q: Will the weave loosen or snag over time?
A: The woven leather softens with wear. Minimise contact with sharp objects, rough surfaces and Velcro to prevent snags. If a strip lifts or loosens, do not cut or glue it—seek a professional leather specialist or consult Bottega Veneta for repair options.

Q: Where is it made and will there be a serial/code?
A: Bottega Veneta leather goods are typically made in Italy, and authentic pieces often feature a “Bottega Veneta Made in Italy” stamp. Some small leather goods include a serial or production code, with placement varying by model and year. Presence or absence of a code alone is not definitive for authenticity.

Q: How is authenticity verified and what is included with this item?
