This vintage Bottega Veneta Twist Bag in beige crackled leather offers an understated, sculptural look. In very good condition, it features a single knotted handle, suede lining and a zip closure at the base. Ideal for lunches, dinners or polished daytime outings, it adds refined vintage character to both tailored and relaxed looks.
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 Bottega Veneta Twist Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 31 x 18 x 11 cm, it is best suited to essentials such as a phone, slim wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick, sunglasses and a few small personal items. Its sculptural shape means very bulky items are not ideal.
Q: How is this bag meant to be carried? A: This style features a single knotted handle with an approximate 12 cm drop. It is designed to be carried in the hand or tucked neatly under the arm. No shoulder strap is listed for this item in the product information.
Q: How does the Twist bag open? A: This design is known for its zip opening at the base, which keeps the top silhouette clean and distinctive. It is practical once you get used to it, though smaller items are easiest to organise inside.
Q: Is this more of a day bag or an evening bag? A: It works well for both. The compact top-handle shape and refined beige crackled leather make it easy to style for dinners and events, while the roomy width also suits polished daytime use.
Q: What materials are used in this bag? A: This piece is made in beige crackled leather with a suede lining. The crackled finish gives it a softly textured vintage look, so natural variation in the leather is part of its character.
Q: How should I care for crackled leather and suede lining? A: Store it in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth on the leather, avoid harsh cleaners, and let it air dry naturally if it gets wet. For the suede lining, use a very gentle suede brush and consider specialist cleaning for stains.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: The external and internal condition are listed as Very Good with light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. As this is a vintage piece, gentle signs of age and wear are normal and form part of its character.
Q: What is included with this item? A: A dust bag is included. Everything included with the item is reflected in the product information on this page.
Q: Does a missing serial number automatically mean a vintage Bottega Veneta bag is not authentic? A: No. Interior tags and serial markings vary by production era, and many older genuine Bottega Veneta bags do not have the same modern-style serial identifiers seen on newer pieces. Authenticity should be assessed through the overall construction, leather quality, stamps and craftsmanship.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label for this item states Italy.
