Bottega VenetaIntrecciato Nappa Tote Bag

Q: What does Intrecciato Nappa mean?
A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature technique of weaving leather strips by hand. Nappa refers to the soft, supple leather used for this tote.

Q: What size is this Bottega Veneta tote?
A: The bag measures approximately 40 cm wide, 23 cm high and 15 cm deep. The listed handle measurement is 17 cm.

Q: What colour is the bag, and where was it made?
A: This tote is pink, and its country-of-origin label states Italy. The condition information also records that the bag has been repainted.

Q: What condition is this pre-owned bag in?
A: It is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior has minor rubbing on the leather tab and light marks, and it has been repainted. The interior is rated very good with stains, while the hardware has light scratches.

Q: Has the leather been repainted?
A: Yes. Repainting is explicitly recorded in the product information. The date, method and extent of the repainting are not specified, so the current colour should not be assumed to be the original factory finish.

Q: Can this tote hold a laptop?
A: Laptop fit has not been confirmed for this item. Compare your device and its sleeve with the bag’s approximate external dimensions of 40 × 23 × 15 cm, allowing for a smaller usable interior and opening. Bottega Veneta advises against carrying heavy items that could affect a leather bag’s shape, so avoid overloading it.

Q: Is Intrecciato Nappa suitable for everyday use?
A: It can be used for everyday essentials with careful handling. Bottega Veneta advises protecting its leather from abrasive surfaces, liquids, oils, make-up, perfume, direct sunlight and heat. This particular bag already has signs of wear and a repainted finish, which should be considered when choosing how to use it.

Q: How should I clean and store this bag?
A: Gently remove surface dust with a soft, dry cloth and protect the bag from rain, direct sunlight and heat. If it gets wet, blot it promptly with a soft cloth. Store it lightly filled with tissue paper in a breathable protective bag. As this item has been repainted, seek specialist advice before applying any cleaner or treatment or attempting to remove the interior stains.

Q: Does this bag come with a dust bag, box or other accessories?
A: No accessories are included, as stated in the product information. A dust bag or box would therefore need to be sourced separately.
