Q: What is Intrecciato, and why is it special?
A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature woven leather technique and one of the house’s most recognisable design codes. It is appreciated for its refined craftsmanship, understated luxury and soft, tactile finish rather than visible logos.

Q: How should I care for this bag?
A: To help preserve the woven leather, avoid contact with water, oils, perfumes, make-up, rough surfaces and prolonged direct sunlight or heat. Store it in a cool, dry place and keep it lightly stuffed when not in use so it helps maintain its shape. A soft, dry cloth is usually best for gentle surface cleaning.

Q: Is woven Intrecciato leather durable for everyday use?
