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 Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 32 x 15 x 16 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few small beauty items. It is a more compact tote rather than an oversized shopper, so it is not ideal for a laptop or bulky items.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style has dual top handles and an approximate drop of 20 cm, so it should sit comfortably on the shoulder for many people, while also working well carried by hand. Fit can vary slightly depending on build and outerwear.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes. This tote features a top zip closure, which helps keep your belongings secure and makes it more practical for everyday use than an open-top style.
Q: What materials and details does this bag feature? A: This piece is crafted in Italy from red Intrecciato leather and finished with gold-tone hardware. It also has a tonal suede lining. The woven Intrecciato finish is one of Bottega Veneta’s most recognisable signatures.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes a dust bag, padlock, clochette, and keys. Everything included with the bag is listed in the product information on this page.
Q: How should I care for Intrecciato leather? A: To keep the leather looking its best, avoid prolonged exposure to direct light, heat, and rain. If the bag becomes wet, dry it promptly with a soft cloth. For storage, lightly fill it with tissue paper to help maintain its shape and keep it in a breathable dust bag. Avoid overfilling it, as heavy contents can affect the shape and place stress on the woven leather.
Q: Is Intrecciato leather suitable for everyday use? A: Yes, it can work very well for everyday use when carried with lighter essentials. As with most woven leather bags, corners and high-contact areas may show wear over time, especially if the bag is overfilled or rubbed frequently. This particular piece is listed in Very Good condition, with light wear on the corners, light traces of use inside, and light scratches to the hardware.
Q: Does every vintage Bottega Veneta bag have a serial number? A: Not always. Bottega Veneta’s interior labels and numbering systems have changed over time, so vintage pieces can differ from newer ones. When assessing an older bag, it is best to look at the full picture, including the weave, leather quality, hardware, stamps, and overall craftsmanship rather than relying on one detail alone.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Bottega Veneta bag? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned designer bags are reviewed by experts who assess hallmark details such as the Intrecciato weave, leather quality, hardware, lining, stamps, and overall construction. This is especially important with vintage Bottega Veneta pieces, where details can vary by era.
