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 Small Intrecciato Woven Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 30 x 17 x 12 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few compact beauty items. It is not designed for a laptop, A4 papers or bulkier belongings.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes, in most cases. The dual woven handles have an approximate drop of 22 cm, so the bag can usually be carried by hand or worn as a short shoulder bag, depending on your frame and what you are wearing.
Q: How does this bag close? A: This piece features a fold-over strap closure, which helps keep your essentials secure while maintaining the bag’s soft, elegant shape.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature woven leather technique. It is known for its understated look, supple feel and exceptional craftsmanship, making it one of the house’s most recognisable finishes.
Q: Is a vintage Intrecciato bag durable enough for regular use? A: Yes, if treated with care. Intrecciato leather is prized for its craftsmanship and can age beautifully, but vintage pieces should be handled gently. It is best to avoid overfilling, rough surfaces, heavy rain and repeated friction from sharp objects or dark denim.
Q: How should I care for the leather and suede lining? A: Wipe the exterior lightly with a soft, dry cloth and store the bag stuffed with tissue in a breathable dust bag or cupboard away from heat, sunlight and humidity. Because the lining is suede, it is wise to keep liquids, pens and cosmetics contained to help prevent marks or staining.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible wear and scuffing on the leather with cracking on the edges, the interior has signs of wear and minor stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does this bag come with any additional items? A: No additional items are listed with this piece. For a quick overview of what is included, please see the product information on this page.
Q: There is no serial number listed. Is that unusual for a vintage Bottega Veneta bag? A: Not necessarily. With older Bottega Veneta bags, authentication is often judged through the overall craftsmanship, weave consistency, leather quality, interior details and construction rather than one serial marking alone.
Q: How is authenticity checked? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is authenticated by in-house experts as part of the brand’s screening process. This helps ensure that the piece is a genuine pre-owned Bottega Veneta bag.
