With braided top handles and an adjustable shoulder strap, it is an elegant choice for city days, lunches or evening plans, adding a refined pop of colour to everyday and occasion dressing.
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 Small Parachute Andiamo bag? A: With approximate measurements of 21 x 17 x 17 cm, this size is best for daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses and a small beauty pouch. It is roomy for its size thanks to the softly shaped body, but it is not designed for larger items such as a tablet or laptop.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: This piece features dual braided top handles and a single adjustable shoulder strap. It can be carried neatly in the hand or worn on the shoulder, making it easy to switch between smarter and more relaxed styling.
Q: What makes the Andiamo Parachute different from the classic Andiamo? A: The Parachute version has a softer, more relaxed silhouette with collapsible sides, giving it a slightly less structured look than the classic Andiamo. It keeps the signature Intrecciato leather workmanship while offering a more easy-going everyday feel.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta's signature woven leather technique. It is known for its refined appearance, supple feel and quietly recognisable look without logo-heavy branding. This bag is crafted in leather with tonal leather lining, gold-tone hardware and Italian manufacture.
Q: Is this bag suitable for everyday use? A: Yes. The compact size, soft body and shoulder strap make it well suited to everyday essentials, day-to-evening use and light commuting. It is a strong choice if you want a refined bag that feels practical without looking bulky.
Q: How is the bag closed and organised inside? A: The Small Parachute style is designed with a magnetic tab closure and one main compartment, so the interior is simple and easy to access. The open layout works well if you prefer to organise your belongings with a slim pouch or cardholder.
Q: How should I care for woven lambskin leather? A: Protect it from direct sunlight, heat and rain, and if it becomes wet, dry it promptly with a soft cloth. To help preserve the shape, avoid overfilling it and store it gently stuffed with tissue in a breathable fabric bag when not in use. As with most soft leather bags, careful storage helps reduce creasing and slouching over time.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: This bag is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, which is consistent with careful previous wear.
Q: Does this bag come with any extra pieces? A: Everything included with the purchase is reflected in the product information on this page. For this item, no additional pieces are noted as included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts. We assess materials, weave, construction, hardware and brand details to ensure authenticity, and we stand behind every item we offer.
