This vintage Bottega Veneta Large Intrecciato Business Bag in black leather with gunmetal hardware offers understated sophistication. In very good condition, it features dual handles, a tonal fabric lining and a top zip closure, with visible scuffing on the handles and corners. Ideal for office days, meetings or commuting, it brings refined practicality to a polished work wardrobe.
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 Large Intrecciato Business Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 41 × 29 × 11 cm, it is well suited to daily work essentials such as A4 documents, a notebook, chargers, a wallet, phone, and other small personal items. It should fit a 13-inch laptop comfortably and may also fit many slim 14-inch or 15-inch laptops depending on the exact dimensions and whether they are inside a sleeve.
Q: Is this bag suitable for work or business use? A: Yes. This is a large business-style bag with a practical top zip closure, dual handles, and a spacious rectangular shape that works well for office days, meetings, and commuting. The black Intrecciato leather also gives it a smart, understated look.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This specific piece features dual handles and no detachable shoulder strap is included. With a handle drop of approximately 19 cm, some people may be able to carry it over the shoulder lightly, but it is best considered a handheld or short shoulder business bag.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature woven leather technique and one of the house’s most recognisable design codes. It is prized for its refined texture, craftsmanship, and quiet, logo-free appearance.
Q: How should I care for vintage Intrecciato leather? A: Treat it gently. Wipe away dust with a soft, dry cloth and avoid overexposure to rain, direct heat, and prolonged sunlight. It is also wise to avoid friction from rough surfaces and dark denim, as colour transfer and edge wear can happen over time. For marks, use only very light, careful cleaning and avoid heavy sprays or harsh products unless advised by a leather specialist.
Q: Is Intrecciato leather durable enough for regular use? A: Yes, Bottega Veneta’s woven leather is generally known for lasting well when handled with care. That said, like many luxury leather work bags, the handles, corners, and edges are usually the first areas to show wear. On this pre-owned piece, visible scuffing is already noted on the handles and corners.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. Externally, there is visible scuffing on the handles and corners. Internally, there are light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This means the bag presents very well overall while still showing normal signs of previous wear.
Q: Does this item come with any additional product information? A: No additional product information is included with this piece. If anything is included, it is always reflected on the product page details for that specific item.
Q: How can I tell whether a Bottega Veneta Intrecciato bag is authentic? A: Common checkpoints include the consistency of the weave, the quality and softness of the leather, neat finishing, accurate interior branding, and the correct Made in Italy details and internal tag format for the era. As this is a pre-owned item, professional authentication is especially important, and every item sold by A Retro Tale is carefully vetted for authenticity.
Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair or service bags like this? A: Bottega Veneta does offer aftercare and repair support for eligible items, and the brand also has its Certificate of Craft programme for select bags. For vintage or second-hand pieces, service availability can vary by model, age, and region, so it is best to check directly if future repair work is needed.
