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 this handbag? A: With measurements of approximately 24 x 19 x 10 cm, this handbag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or slim wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few small make-up items. It is not large enough for a tablet or laptop. Please use the measurements on this page as your best guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This style is designed as a top handle bag. It has dual braided handles with an approximate handle drop of 11 cm, and no shoulder strap is listed in the product information, so it is best carried by hand or on the crook of the arm.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a tonal lining, one internal pocket and a flap closure, making it easy to keep smaller essentials neatly separated.
Q: Is this a practical everyday size? A: Yes, if you travel light. Its structured mid-size proportions make it a good choice for essentials rather than bulky items, so it works well for day-to-day use, lunches, evenings out or occasions when you want a polished vintage look.
Q: What condition is this vintage handbag in? A: It is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the edges and signs of wear on the handles, the interior has stains on the bottom, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for woven leather like this? A: Store it carefully in a breathable dust bag and, if possible, lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape. Avoid overfilling, moisture, oils, perfume, direct sunlight and rough surfaces. For light surface dust, use a soft dry cloth, or a slightly damp cloth very gently if needed.
Q: Is beige a colour that needs extra care? A: Lighter leather tones can show marks and colour transfer more easily than darker shades, so it is sensible to keep the bag away from dark denim, damp surfaces and anything abrasive. Regular careful storage will help keep it looking its best.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item is sold with no additional product information.
Q: How is a vintage Bottega Veneta bag usually authenticated? A: Authentication is usually based on the overall quality of the leatherwork and weave, the finish of the hardware, the lining and interior markings, and the general consistency of the craftsmanship. A Retro Tale also carries out its own authentication checks before listing vintage items.
