Perfect for gallery openings and smart lunches, this medium Andiamo in green Intrecciato leather transitions effortlessly from day to evening. Carry by the top handle for polish or wear crossbody with the sliding braided strap for hands-free ease; its three-compartment interior keeps essentials organised.
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 Medium Andiamo? A: With approximate dimensions of 30 × 24 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella. It also fits most tablets and other mid-size items; capacity will vary with how you pack, so please refer to the measurements and photos for guidance.
Q: Can I wear it both on the shoulder and crossbody? A: Yes. The braided strap is a pull‑through, sliding design that lets you switch from shoulder to crossbody carry in seconds. On this piece the strap drop is approximately 24 cm when doubled and up to 45 cm fully extended, and there is an 8 cm top handle for hand carry.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: No. The sliding strap is integrated into the design and is not intended to be detached.
Q: How does the bag close and how is the interior organised? A: It features a discreet magnetic closure beneath the signature knot detail. The interior has a tonal leather lining and is divided into three compartments for neat organisation.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It can accommodate most tablets and may fit some slim 12–13 inch laptops without a bulky case. Because internal capacity depends on the device and case thickness, we recommend comparing your device against the listed measurements and allowing a little clearance.
Q: What leather is used and how durable is the Intrecciato weave? A: The Andiamo is crafted from Bottega Veneta’s signature Intrecciato leather, prized for its supple feel and structure. While the woven construction helps the bag keep its shape, the soft leather deserves mindful use to minimise scuffs and colour transfer.
Q: How should I care for the leather and weave? A: Dust with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to sun, rain, oils or colour‑transfer prone fabrics. If a deeper clean is needed, test a small area with a gentle leather cleaner and never scrub across the weave. Store the bag lightly stuffed in its dust bag with the strap relaxed to avoid impressions.
Q: Does it have exterior pockets or feet? A: The Medium Andiamo typically has a clean exterior without external pockets and does not include base feet, keeping the silhouette streamlined and flexible for everyday use.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag and brand booklets. If an item is not listed under product information, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps, as well as cross‑referencing with brand standards. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
